In real estate, +20% of the time is lost looking for documents. Between an exclusive mandate that is about to expire, an urgent compromise to be signed and a missing DPE for a visit, professionals are drowning in paperwork.

How can this constraint be transformed into a competitive advantage? La EDM real estate is revolutionizing your daily life by digitizing all of your business processes.

Impossible to find the amendment to the commercial lease signed six months ago, difficult to share the condominium regulations with a purchaser, complicated to verify the diagnoses before signing. This disorganization is expensive. : delayed transactions, dissatisfied customers, constant stress.

Professionals juggle mandates, compromises, DPE, inventories, meeting minutes and technical diagnoses on a daily basis. Without an organized system, these documents are scattered between workstations, local servers and mailboxes, creating a real administrative headache.
