Introduction

The AI revolution is everywhere and is set to impact every industry. Every business owner and entrepreneur must ask themselves, “What’s in it for me?” This is exactly what we asked ourselves at DInvest. After analyzing several options, we believe that the greatest value AI currently offers is in administration—specifically in accounting and property data classification.
In traditional property management companies, approximately 40% of the workload is financial administration, with nearly half of that dedicated to invoice recording, classification, and payment processing. Efficiently managing these processes has always been a challenge. However, we believe that in the near future, AI will handle 90% of this work. Companies that master this transformation will not only reduce administrative burdens but also improve data classification, ultimately enhancing efficiency and service quality.


How We Implemented AI at Dinvest

Since the beginning of 2024, we have been developing an AI-powered system that reads vendor invoices, extracts all relevant data, and classifies it accurately within our Immotop 2 system (ERP). While some manual oversight remains, the automation process has already brought significant advantages to our customers:

  1. Timely Payments & Accurate Reporting
    By automating invoice processing, we ensure that vendor payments are always made on time. Additionally, our customers (building owners) receive real-time insights into their expenses, resulting in more accurate monthly reporting.

  2. Scalability Without Service Reduction
    With AI-driven administration, our business is more scalable. As we onboard new clients, our system seamlessly handles increased workload without compromising the service quality for our long-term customers.

  3. Smarter Maintenance Management & Cost Control
    Enhanced property data classification is only possible when invoice processing and data entry are managed by AI screening tools instead of manual input. Many companies still rely on manual data entry, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. Manual recording also requires selective data entry due to cost and time constraints. In manual processing, crucial data such as product serial numbers, warranty terms, and maintenance records are often skipped. AI-driven automation ensures accurate tracking of warranty periods, insurance claims, and correct cost allocation between tenants and owners. This results in significant cost savings for our clients, sometimes saving them substantial amounts of money.

  4. Increasing Property Value Through Better Data Management
    Automation ensures that all property-related data is accurately recorded and easily accessible. This transparency improves reporting and makes properties more attractive to future buyers. Keeping detailed records of every apartment and building section reduces the risk factor during sales, which is immediately translated into a higher property value

​Conclusion

AI is no longer just a futuristic concept—it’s a practical tool that is transforming the property management industry today. At DInvest, we are at the forefront of this change, leveraging AI to optimize operations, reduce costs, and enhance service delivery. As technology continues to evolve, embracing AI will become essential for property management companies that want to remain competitive and provide the best value to their clients.
