As part of our success stories, we met with Nikolaus Persch for an interview.

Maximum ESG compliance

Persch Consult is a company independent of sales and brokerage and offers digital valuation products for all asset classes – nationwide and internationally. The service also covers the entire product range for property valuation in the financial sector. And this service is in demand: the company produces more than 20,000 valuations per year, supported, among other things, by on-geo solutions. We spoke with Nikolaus Persch, founder and managing director of Persch Consult GmbH | Chartered Surveyors.

Mr Persch, your company uses a wide range of on-geo products – from Lora for preparing full and short valuation reports to data.board for producing analyses and reports. With the LORA Sales Client, you are not only creating the basis for commissioning external clients, you are also currently working with on-geo to develop an order management system as a central application. What is the background to this joint development?

As part of digitalisation, seamless processing of surveyor assignments in market and mortgage lending value assessment is a must. Our new order management system combines the best of all worlds. It ensures quality by pre-checking all necessary documents. It speeds up processing because it informs customers and clients of the processing status on the same day the assignment is received. It also automatically plans efficient routes so that we can inspect and assess the target properties both economically and ecologically (key word: carbon footprint). This is efficiency in practice with maximum ESG compliance.

You work very closely with on-geo and have regular exchanges to develop specialised solutions and optimise products. To what extent do you sometimes have to serve as a “guinea pig”, in the best sense of the word?

We have no problem with that at all – quite the opposite, as we see ourselves as a “first mover” in the field of digital market and mortgage lending value assessment. Sure, sometimes we both realise: “Okay, that wasn’t quite the breakthrough yet!” But anyone who wants to digitalise processes must, to quote Olaf Steitz, “think ahead”.

If you could wish for something from on-geo, what would it be? Which solution would completely revolutionise your daily work – in your favour?

on-geo is the leading software provider in market and mortgage lending value assessment – all market participants have been receiving software here for 20 years, then data was added and last but not least documents. We participate in this development and benefit from the continuously growing range of services. Completely revolutionising our daily work (and that of all our customers) would be something like this: the impossible is done immediately, miracles happen at the push of a button – is that an acceptable benchmark?

Thank you very much for these fascinating insights!
