Company Overview

Allreal is one of Switzerland’s leading real estate companies. They cover the entire value chain of real estate – from development and construction to property management – and maintain a high-quality portfolio of residential and commercial properties in Swiss metropolitan areas.

The Challenge

Allreal faced the task of managing inventory and equipment processes across numerous construction sites: Who is using which equipment, for how long, on which site – and what about maintenance, documentation, and deadline management? The challenge lay in a heterogeneous landscape of construction sites and equipment, many different locations, a large number of movable assets, and the need for mobile access.

The Solution

Allreal chose our product, Timly, a flexible, cloud-based inventory and asset management platform. Thanks to Timly’s modular structure, Allreal was able to:

  • Create a dedicated resource for each construction site, where equipment and usage could be centrally managed.
  • Enable mobile access so employees could retrieve information on-site from any device.
  • Integrate add-ons, such as maintenance scheduling with automatic reminders, document attachments, and commenting features.
  • Gain full transparency over equipment usage, duration, responsibilities, deadlines, and maintenance.

The Results

Since implementation, Allreal has been able manage its construction site assets efficiently and centrally: a single platform has replaced multiple isolated solutions.

Equipment spread across different sites, including maintenance and usage data, is now clearly tracked – both on-site and via mobile devices. Allreal benefits from optimized processes, reduced coordination effort, and a clearer organizational structure.

Key Takeaways

  • The combination of modularity and cloud access provides high flexibility – ideal for companies with many construction sites and rotating equipment inventories.
  • A unified platform, instead of multiple isolated systems, creates transparency and reduces errors.
  • Mobile availability is crucial in construction environments, as users are on-site rather than at fixed desktop workstations.
  • Early structuring simplifies tracking and prevents chaos in equipment management.
