Why Colliers decided to transform its knowledge management to improve property management

Before Proprli, the knowledge management between within Colliers was challenging. The company had no effective way to share and combine data and knowledge between different business units. This also effected the ability to advice their clients.

Communicating and sharing client data was inefficient because the data was located in different kind of sources and formats. Knowledge management and sharing project data therefore took up a lot of time and resources for Colliers.

Before Proprli, team members were not able to learn as easily from each other’s projects. Technical managers spend a lot of time collecting data and preparing reports, after the asset manager prepares their own reports for the investment reports

Transforming the Technical Property Management process at Colliers

When digitalizing and automating processes within the whole company, Colliers had to get everybody on board. To improve the business, Colliers was creating a new vision and strategy on digitalization and combining data and knowledge through innovative platforms .

Colliers implemented four new platforms to digitalize the company and combining information and knowledge management through the entire business. With the implementation of Proprli, Colliers is now able to combine data, processes and workflows to improve technical property management.

Before using Proprli, a lot of processes were manual, time-consuming and chaotic. Colliers has automated a lot of processes to improve and structure these workflows. This makes it far more easy to find documents and improve overall efficiency of time-consuming processes.
