REGIONS
U.K., Germany, Switzerland
Stenprop is a listed property company in the midst of a major business transformation. The firm currently owns approximately £750 million of multi-sector assets across the U.K., Germany, and Switzerland, but recently decided to change its business model and focus exclusively on becoming the leading multi-let industrial business in the U.K. To that end, the firm is pioneering the concept of space-as-a-service in the sector.
Technology is playing a crucial role in Stenprop’s transition. To grow its industrial portfolio, Stenprop required a more effective system for centralizing and gaining actionable insight from its data. The company knew that the right solution would enable it to make more informed business decisions faster, and ultimately deliver flexibility to tenants and higher returns to shareholders. With VTS’ leasing and asset management platform, Stenprop is doing just that.
Challenges & Roadblocks
Delays in letting
With over 150 leases signed per year (a number that is growing quickly), it became extremely onerous for Stenprop to manage the stages in the letting process, the performance of asset managers and agents, and transaction status. The resulting hold-ups delayed lease transactions and led to loss of income.
Outdated, inaccurate data
Customer experience is a key element of Stenprop’s value proposition. However, its decentralized and error-prone approach to data collection, as well as duplicate tenant records, reduced visibility into deal activity, and lease and tenant information. Consequently, management could not obtain the insights it needed to improve the letting experience for its customers.
Inefficiencies blocking growth
Stenprop was scaling up rapidly, but its teams weren’t keeping up. Instead, they were getting bogged down with minor tasks. Productivity declined, and Stenprop’s ambitious growth targets started to seem out of reach.
SOLUTION
Moving deals forward, faster
By using VTS to manage the entire letting process from initial enquiry through to signed lease, the Stenprop team is able to spend its time focusing on the most important transactions that require attention, and automate manual tasks that were previously delaying deals. This has made the team more efficient and accelerated overall letting cycles.
Insight-driven customer service
Customer experience is a key element of Stenprop’s value proposition. However, its decentralised and error-prone approach to data collection, as well as duplicate tenant records, reduced visibility into deal activity, and lease and tenant information. Consequently, management could not obtain the insights it needed to improve the letting experience for its customers.
Support for rapid expansion
With VTS, Stenprop is now able to manage an increased number of active opportunities with fewer resources, enabling the firm to grow and scale at a rate that matches its ambitious business targets. With its active deal flow managed in one place, the Stenprop team can make fast decisions on the right deals.
