HOWOGE begins the new year with SAP

Having been launched in February 2016, the major IT project was handed over to the HOWOGE users – amounting to more than 350 – as originally planned at the beginning of 2018. The latest SAP version, S/4 HANA, is supplemented by tailored detailed solutions developed by industry specialist PROMOS consult. For HOWOGE, the new IT system signifies an important basis for achieving digitisation.

“The new technology provides us with the necessary foundations for becoming a powerful and quality-conscious company that plays a leading role in the digitisation of the housing industry. We believe that the solutions from PROMOS give us the opportunity to implement future IT requirements,” expounds HOWOGE managing director Thomas Felgenhauer. PROMOS consult will also continue to support HOWOGE over the next few months by providing training seminars and optimising the system in various ways. “HOWOGE is a major customer with high demands. The new system integrates all the technical requirements of a service-oriented company, while at the same time supporting the mobility of employees, customers and service providers,” adds Jens Kramer, CEO of PROMOS consult.

HOWOGE is one of the largest state housing companies in Berlin. In addition to managing around 60,000 apartments in the Berlin city area, HOWOGE is developing new buildings with the aim of increasing its number of properties to 75,000 by 2026.

Most recently, PROMOS consult was responsible for the implementation of a new ERP software solution at the Berlin-based real estate company Hilfswerk-Siedlung GmbH (HWS) and the system transition to S/4 HANA at Berliner Immobilienmanagement GmbH (BIM).
