SAP Fiori app for RE-FX

PKP owns almost sixty thousand real estate objects. In order to streamline administrative processes, the company needed a powerful and intuitive solution. It was looking for a “mobile knowledge base” on facilities – so that an employee operating in the field could quickly receive a set of information about a given building or plot of land.

The price was not the only thing that mattered during the procedure. There were also criteria related to experience and an appropriate project team.

IFRS16 standards

Cyfrowy Polsat Capital Group was looking for a provider with experience in undertaking complex projects in Real Estate area and who would have a vision of how the IFRS16 solution should be integrated with external solutions in such complex environment.

We have been cooperating with Hicron as our provider of SAP solutions in the field of managing properties for many years. We have a very professional and involved in-house team and rigorously defined requirements and these are our solid pillars for our cooperation.

Swiss-specific SAP RE-FX adaptation

Because of its huge and complicated technical infrastructure combined with rental, lease, and energy costs, one of Hicron’s Swiss clients felt the need to implement effective real estate management software – SAP RE-FX.

Due to the architecture of the Client’s system, it was necessary to ensure the consistency of data entered into SAP, sent to individual properties, and integrated with Business Partner data. The biggest challenge was the storage and unification of bank accounts. It was necessary to design a path to verify whether the bank accounts of a property correspond to those linked to the contract in the Business Partner.
