Real Estate sector saves time and money (an average of 65%) by digitalising with Docuten

The digitalisation of administrative processes offers many benefits for companies in the real estate sector, from cost savings and the elimination of paper to saving time.

As with other industries, the real estate sector can and should benefit from digitalising processes to increase efficiency. When companies incorporate new technologies and digitalisation, they are able to offer services that set them apart from the competition, establishing a clear competitive advantage over other industry contenders.

Digitalisation benefits in Real Estate 

• Cost savings. Costs related to managing processes, storing documents, office supplies and shipping are some of the expenses that can be reduced or eliminated entirely by implementing a digitalisation tool.
• Eliminate paper. Reducing or eliminating the use of paper not only bolsters cost savings, but also strengthens CSR, helping to reduce a company’s carbon footprint and improve sustainability policies. 
• Save time. Many times companies have to set up meetings to get contracts signed. When there are high volumes of contracts that need to be signed on a regular basis, this practice wastes a lot of time. Time spent sending and receiving invoices is also reduced with digitalisation since you no longer have to print documents, create and send invoices, or handle receiving and storing them, since it’s all done digitally.
• Business continuity. Current global events have caused many companies to come to a standstill, unable to continue their business relationships with clients. Thanks to the digitalisation of processes, companies have been able to adapt to this situation and continue regular business activity.

“Implementing electronic invoicing has enabled us to continue working seamlessly during this time, while taking the appropriate precautions.”

Emilio Casal, Systems Director, Lantania

Like construction, the real estate sector is largely traditional in its practices, with the majority of companies relying on manual processes and only low levels of automation. Thus, it is the companies that seek out innovative opportunities and take advantage of new technologies that are seeing business growth and success over competitors.

Use Cases

Some of the processes that can be completely digitalised are:

• Signing commercial contracts with clients
• Signing all types of labor documentation
• Sending invoices to clients
• Receiving invoices from vendors
