IKOAB and the Coliving Revolution: A Success Story of Digitalization, Innovation, and Exceptional Collaboration 🚀

As coliving reshapes modern lifestyles, IKOAB has emerged as a frontrunner in the sector. Since its launch in 2016, this Belgian 'scale-up' has redefined the art of living together through an innovative vision. KERN IT served as the technological powerhouse behind IKOAB's rapid and efficient growth. Let's look back at a success story defined by digitalization, automation, and an exceptional collaboration. 🤝

Strategic Collaboration, Visionary Results🌐

Our adventure with IKOAB started in 2017 when we revitalized their legacy platform. Right from the start, we prioritized agile production, building the foundations of a powerful and future-proof system.

Driving Transformation Through Automation🚀

At KERN IT, we quickly identified the repetitive tasks that were slowing down IKOAB’s teams. To save them time and allow them to focus on what matters most, we developed:

• Automated rental management processes: automatic contract generation, deadline tracking, and personalized notifications.
• An optimized maintenance app to automate ticket management: including prioritization, assignment, and real-time tracking of on-site interventions. 🛠️
• Integrated solutions for tracking payments and rental deposits: data centralization for seamless and transparent financial management. 💳
• Iterative workflows and analytical tools to optimize the user experience and drive continuous operational improvements.

Automation has not only reduced manual tasks but also freed up valuable time for IKOAB’s teams, allowing them to focus on growth and enhancing their service offering. 📈

An Iterative Process for Continuous Growth🔄

The key to our shared success? An iterative process built on close collaboration with the IKOAB team:

• Short development sprints to deliver solutions that meet immediate requirements.
• Regular feedbacks to adjust and refine every feature.
• Continuous improvement of tools to adapt to evolving market trends and user needs.

This agile methodology has enabled IKOAB to increase efficiency while ensuring that every new step perfectly met their needs, and those of their tenants.
