Vonovia: Turning a merger into a digital transformation

Vonovia, Germany: Digital experiences befitting the industry leader

Vonovia is Germany's leading real estate company, owning about 355,000 apartments valued at €30 billion across the country and managing another 65,000 for third parties. The offspring of a merger between two long-established companies, Vonovia needed to replace old systems with a modern digital platform. Its three primary goals were to improve communications among its 8,100 employees, streamline tenant interactions, and increase acquisition of new customers across all digital channels.

Vonovia used Sitecore Experience Platform to create a single sign-on intranet giving employees personalized access to corporate news, contacts, documents, and other internal content. Vonovia also implemented a Sitecore-based portal to relieve its busy call center of tenant questions and service requests that are better suited to self-service.

Today, Vonovia has a a centralized platform that future-proofs its primacy in the German real estate market. Since completing its merger onto the Sitecore platform, the company is increasing employee engagement, providing better service to tenants and third-party property owners, and attracting new customers and investors.
