Digitalised and secure in house construction

Many people dream of owning their own home with a garden and a large plot of land. The franchise company Town & Country Haus makes this dream come true and offers the construction of solid houses, renovations, the search for a plot of land and the financing of the respective property.

Processes of this magnitude need a digital basis. Licence partners, franchisees and tradespeople communicate easily, quickly and directly via apps and portals. Within just a few years, Town & Country Haus from Behringen near Erfurt has become the leading brand in licensed solid construction - thanks in part to digital platforms.

Many different trades play a role in the construction of solid construction houses: architects, planners, craftsmen, inspectors - anyone who has ever built a house knows how complex the support and communication with the individual players is. Building plans, customer requirements and the entire construction process are rarely equally transparent and comprehensible for everyone. Town & Country Haus bundles these roles and takes over communication with franchisees, property developers and tradesmen.

Together with adesso, Town & Country Haus has introduced various applications and platforms. Microsoft Dynamics was initially established at Town & Country Haus with the ‘TC Kontakte’ project. Contracts, acquisition processes and calculations can now be viewed by everyone involved via the platform.

With ‘TC Bau’, the entire construction process was digitalised on the basis of the Microsoft Power Platform. This means that construction plans or customer requests can be processed and saved in the cloud. In addition, adesso has developed the ‘TC Bau App’. The offline-capable smartphone app supports tradespeople in documenting construction progress - for example in basements where there is often no internet connection or when large amounts of data need to be stored. As soon as an internet connection is available again, the entries in the app are synchronised.

The ‘TC Faktura’ application on the Microsoft Business Central platform covers all commercial matters. The client sends their invoice to an auditor, who checks whether all services have been carried out correctly. If this is the case, payment is made.

The apps and platforms ensure transparency and security for all parties involved. Town & Country Haus can communicate quickly and easily with its licence holders and inform clients at any time if required. Services no longer have to be recorded manually, and illegible notes and paperwork are a thing of the past. Thanks to the digital solutions, all processes are clearly documented and available.
