There is a new player on the block in the housing corporation sector. We have entered into a strategic partnership with Databalk from Utrecht. This partnership, which was recently realised, combines the proven real estate module of HB Software with the powerful solutions of DataBalk with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central as a basis. The result is a best-of-breed solution that offers housing corporations more flexibility and efficiency in managing and monitoring their projects.

Only choosing functionalities that you really need 

With the rise of best-of-breed solutions, a corporation no longer has to work with one large system, but organisations can opt for separate, specific applications that together form a total solution. This makes it possible to use only those functionalities that are really necessary. HB Software and Databalk have embraced this trend. Where DataBalk focuses on real estate, CRM and rental for housing corporations, we bring our expertise with the HB Real Estate module. This module, which we have already successfully used in the commercial real estate market, now offers housing corporations reliable support in the development of new construction, the management of planned maintenance of existing buildings and the realisation of individual projects within the organisation.

The added value

With the solution from HB Software and Databalk, housing corporations manage their projects more efficiently. The solution offers complete insight into budgets and actual costs. Once the project has started, budgets are monitored and overruns can be prevented or reported. During the project, periodic forecasts can be made for the outcome. At the start of a project, a project team is defined that works according to a predetermined workflow and that has insight into all tasks, activities and responsibilities. The team members have mandates that allow them to operate within the budgets allocated to them.

Another advantage of the solution is that both parties can focus on continuous innovation within their area of ​​expertise, which means that housing corporations can also continuously benefit from the latest technologies. Because these types of solutions are intuitive and task-oriented, they also improve ease of use for employees.

Focus on quality

By entering into the partnership, we are also taking a logical step. After all, why would you try to copy something if there is already a great solution out there? Our focus is on the quality of our real estate module and on successful implementations of the solution. The strategic partnership between us and Databalk also means an important step in the modernisation of the administrative processes within the corporation sector. By using leading technologies in the market and proven functionalities, these organisations now have the tools they need to work more efficiently and flexibly in these hectic times.
