Customer context
BNP Paribas Real Estate (BNPP RE), a subsidiary of the BNP Paribas Group specializing in real estate, was facing major challenges in managing its documents in the areas of transactions, leasing, HR and more. Here are the problems identified before Osidoc's intervention:
Manual, time-consuming document production: sales, leasing and management documents were created by manual merging and mailing, using tools such as Microsoft Word. This semi-automatic method was cumbersome and involved repetitive data exporting and document merging. Sales staff would copy and paste commercial offers into Powerpoint presentations for their customers.
Time wasted by sales staff: the 600 sales staff spent over 50% of their time preparing sales proposals, reducing the time available for sales and negotiation.
Lack of an integrated desktop publishing solution: the absence of a desktop publishing solution within the IS led to a dispersal of processes and a lack of consistency in document production. This resulted in organizational inefficiencies and a significant administrative burden.
The Osidoc intervention
To solve these problems, Osidoc was urbanized in the IS as a centralized desktop publishing tool. Here are the key stages of Osidoc's intervention:
Automated sales offer generation: generation in transactional mode, eliminating semi-automatic data export and mail merge processes in Microsoft Word.
Integration with market solutions: Osidoc has been integrated with three main systems: SAP, SIBEL and a geolocation system. This integration has made it possible to centralize and automate the flow of data between these systems, guaranteeing consistency and accuracy of information in the documents generated.
Development of an automated PowerPoint module: after one month's use of the automated offers, it became apparent that the 600 sales staff were still spending 4 to 6 days a month copying and pasting sales offers to create PowerPoint presentations. To meet this need, Osidoc developed a module to automatically produce PowerPoint presentations from sales offer data.
Extending the scope of empowerment: following the implementation of Osidoc, BNPP RE's business, project management, project assistance and IT teams were able to directly manage other projects, such as :
- Lease generation
- Production of HR contractual documents
- Creation of all types of contracts (construction, transaction, management, rental)
- Production of all types of correspondence for all back-office areas
The results
Osidoc's intervention has transformed document production at BNPP RE, bringing considerable benefits:
Time savings and increased sales productivity: the 600 sales staff, now freed from the time-consuming tasks of preparing sales offers and creating PowerPoint presentations, can concentrate on their core missions. This has resulted in a better allocation of their time and a significant increase in productivity.
Reduced errors and improved quality: Osidoc has eliminated errors due to manual handling and copy-and-paste. Documents generated are consistent, accurate and in line with corporate standards.
Optimized operational efficiency: the integration of Osidoc into the IS has harmonized publishing processes, centralizing document management and simplifying the production of complex documents. Internal teams can now directly manage document creation and maintenance, without having to rely on external resources.
Continuous innovation: the project led to the development of the PowerPoint module, demonstrating Osidoc's ability to identify and respond rapidly to emerging customer needs. This collaborative approach has maximized the value of technology investments for BNPP RE.
In conclusion, the integration of Osidoc has enabled BNP Paribas Real Estate to streamline its document processes, free up sales time and improve the quality and consistency of its documents, while reducing costs and errors. This digital transformation has positioned BNPP RE as a leader in operational efficiency within the real estate sector.
