Essity Logistics Chief Departs Company

Heba Fastighets AB, a real estate company, is spearheading the digital transformation of property management, an industry often perceived as traditional. CEO Patrik Emanuelsson stated that Heba aims to leverage data to proactively identify and resolve maintenance issues before they arise. The company has established a digital infrastructure featuring "digital twins"—highly detailed 3D models of its properties—and integrated IoT sensors on critical equipment. This integrated system enables real-time monitoring and analysis, facilitating a proactive approach to "smart management." This strategy has delivered substantial benefits, including an increase in Heba's surplus ratio from 63% to 74%. Additionally, Heba has successfully reduced energy consumption and achieved its objective of becoming a "green share" five years ahead of schedule, with over 80% of its revenue now derived from green properties. Emanuelsson emphasizes that this emphasis on data and preventative measures modernizes the industry, boosts efficiency, and elevates the tenant experience. This digital evolution is also vital for attracting the next generation of talent, who prefer data-driven tools over conventional methods.
