Transform Your Real Estate Data Management with SONEKA

Depending on their role, everyone has found their own expectations.

Can you introduce Sofidy and your role?

Sofidy is a property asset management company that manages assets worth around 8 and a half billion euros,

made up of office assets and retail assets in all their forms - out-of-town retail, city center retail and shopping arcades.

At Sofidy, I'm in charge of The Office Property Department.

In other words, I'm in charge of optimizing the value of buildings and optimizing the flow of tertiary buildings.

Why did Sofidy choose SONEKA in 2021?

First of all, I think it's important to stress that Sofidy manages an extremely pooled portfolio with almost 2,000 properties, that represents over 4,000 tenants, in 9 different countries, and through around thirty funds - SCPIs, OPCIs, SCIs, Club Deals.

This form of pooling is a strength.

But the downside is that we had difficulty consolidating all the data on property and assets.

That's why we looked for a tool that could centralize this data, allow us to view it and export it.

What is the added value of SONEKA after several years of use?

I'd say it's very user-friendly.

It allows the Asset Management teams to visualize the assets at building level, to enter BPs, to enter technical data and property data, and even to model it.

It also gives Fund Management teams a highly consolidated view of the portfolio.

That's a real strength.

The second strong point is the great autonomy of the tool's administration.

In other words, you can add, delete or modify a field at any time, export or import data en masse, and you are totally autonomous in doing so without having to call on SONEKA teams.

What is your day-to-day relationship like with the SONEKA team?

It's going pretty well.

It's true that I've spoken to our Data Manager about it, and I don't think the SONEKA teams have ever said 'no' to us.

Sometimes development times are a bit longer.

But we always get a response to our requests.

What features are you planning to use in the near future?

Over the past year, we've done quite a lot of development on the ESG theme, with in particular the monitoring of EPDs, the monitoring of environmental certifications, and the implementation of technical data on the ESG theme.

So we're clearly going to continue with this in 2025.

And then we're going to implement our ESG scoring grids in the tool.

That's really the first theme we're going to pursue.

The second is part of our arbitration program.

In other words, once we've made the sale, we enter it into SONEKA.

What we'd like to do now is enter our arbitration programs from scratch, and follow the marketing process from pitch to sale.
