Abacus Research and Tayo Software join forces
Abacus Research AG, based in eastern Switzerland, is investing CHF 1.5 million in Tayo SA, a real estate software manufacturer based in western Switzerland. The goal of this strategic partnership is the optimal interaction between Tayo's platform and the real estate management software AbaImmo.
Lausanne-based software developer Tayo, headquartered at EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne), was founded in 2017. It has developed a comprehensive platform solution for real estate companies that simplifies and accelerates interactions between property managers, tenants, co-owners, janitors and suppliers. All parties involved in real estate can use it to exchange information electronically, which significantly simplifies processes. The potential of this software was also recognized by the energy provider Romande Energie when it invested in the start-up back in 2019.
Abacus Research complements its own real estate software
Now the software manufacturer Abacus Research from Eastern Switzerland is also taking a stake in the Lausanne-based company. The main reason for the investment is that with Abacus' real estate management software AbaImmo, not only the internal management processes and the seamless integration with the company's own financial solution must function smoothly, but also the communication with third parties such as tenants, craftsmen and owners. This should be guaranteed to be as simple and as efficient as possible. The interaction of the Tayo and AbaImmo platform expands it in one fell swoop to include a function that is becoming more important than ever in the age of digital business processing: direct interaction or networking via the cloud.
"One and one makes more than two"
In the future, there are also plans to seamlessly integrate Swiss.21's cloud software, which is available free of charge, with the Tayo portal so that participating craftsmen can benefit from digitalization. Daniel Senn, member of the Abacus management board, explains the participation as follows: "With Tayo, we have found the ideal partner to offer our AbaImmo customers a modern and comprehensive 360° platform to complement the AbaImmo property management software. Our users will benefit from significant simplifications and an acceleration of the various processes around rental properties."
Etienne Friedli, CEO of Tayo, emphasizes that with Abacus he has not only gained a new strategic investor: "The partnership with Abacus helps us to spread our platform further in the market. We are convinced that with Abacus we have the best partner at our side to remain an independent Swiss software provider. In addition, we expect synergies in software development from this, in line with the motto: One and one make more than two... Because together we want to become even more successful."
