The real estate industry has stepped into the digital stage and realized value creation in four dimensions
The real estate industry has bid farewell to the era of rapid growth and ushered in its “second half” during which real estate in stock needs to be cleared. In this trend, the industrial value chain will be reshaped, and real estate development enterprises and other entities face a new market environment. They need to shift to fine operation and diversified operation with the digital help. The demand upgrading and on-line transformation of real estate end users require the main body of each link in the industrial chain to reform its own operational model and promote the upgrading of its products and services. In addition, the penetration of new technologies brings about innovation opportunities and challenges for enterprises to understand and apply emerging technologies: how to integrate new technologies with business scenarios and needs, and take the lead in creating business value?
In the face of industrial reform and challenges, it is inevitable for the main bodies of the real estate industry chain to embrace digitalization. Digitalization involves using digital technology to reshape business processes, and achieving value creation by efficiency improvement, intelligent decision making, experience optimization and income improvement. The report points out that the digital transformation of real estate in achieving the above value creation is a gradual process, which can be divided into three main stages: informatization, digitization and intelligentization. At present, real estate enterprises are the main operators in the digital transformation. Most leading enterprises have achieved relatively mature information construction, and they are in the transition from informatization to digitization. In some single point application scenarios, more mature intelligent applications have been implemented.
Real estate digitization will not create any value unless it is implemented in specific business scenarios. The report discusses typical digital application scenarios of real estate development, marketing, operation, transaction, service, overcame business challenges and value creation, and interprets typical practice cases in the industry.
