newhome opts for Open Datastack by ti&m

The Swiss real estate portal newhome is introducing an AI-powered, open data platform with Open Datastack by ti&m. The goal is to connect data sources efficiently, break down data silos, and make business-relevant insights available faster. In doing so, newhome creates the basis for even more consistent data-driven corporate management and the further development of its digital offerings.

Data is a strategic success factor for digital marketplaces. It connects supply and demand, makes market movements visible, and provides the foundation for well-informed decisions. With Open Datastack, newhome is establishing a central data platform that integrates and harmonizes data from a wide range of sources and makes it available for analytics, reporting, and operational processes.

The new approach makes it possible to no longer view data in isolation within individual applications, but to leverage it company-wide as a strategic resource. Business units gain faster and easier access to relevant information, while data quality, transparency, and traceability are improved.

More than traditional business intelligence

Unlike traditional BI solutions, Open Datastack combines data integration, data processing, storage, governance, and reporting in a modular platform architecture. This allows newhome to flexibly connect new data sources, manage data flows efficiently, and deliver analyses faster.

A key feature is the focus on digital sovereignty. The platform is built on established open-source technologies and reduces dependency on proprietary point solutions. At the same time, its modular design enables flexible further development in line with business and technological requirements.

Joint development of platform and processes

Open Datastack was introduced in a transformation project lasting around six months, carried out by a joint team from newhome and ti&m. In addition to the technical implementation, the project focused in particular on the business requirements of the Sales, Marketing, Product Management, and Customer Care departments.

Together, the teams analyzed existing data processes, optimized data preparation, and redesigned analytics logic and dashboards. The results include reporting and monitoring solutions for analyzing newhome's market position as well as management dashboards for corporate steering.

The insights gained in the project also feed into the continuous development of Open Datastack, strengthening the platform for future use cases.

Data as a strategic corporate resource

"For us, data is far more than a basis for analytics. It forms the foundation of our digital business model and is crucial for the further development of our portal as well as for steering the company," says Dr. Roman Timm, CEO of newhome.

"With Open Datastack, we have a future-proof data platform that helps us integrate new data sources faster, understand relationships better, and translate insights more effectively into business value. At the same time, we are strengthening our digital sovereignty and creating the conditions for data-driven innovation."

The rollout at newhome is also an important success for ti&m. "Open Datastack is built for organizations that want to gain reliable insights from complex data landscapes — open, sovereign, and AI-ready. The newhome project demonstrates how a modern data platform helps companies use data strategically while remaining flexible, transparent, and independent. What pleases me most is that more and more organizations are choosing digitally sovereign solutions like our Open Datastack," says Thomas Wüst, CEO of ti&m.
