Digital Real Estate, the expansion of Italian player eFM continues

"Integrating real estate management with people's experience": this is how Daniele Di Fausto, CEO of eFM, an Italian digital services company for real estate management, presents his company's distinctive trait. A trait that has led the company to significant increases in turnover in recent years, rising from 20 million euros in 2020 to 45 million in 2024.

Present, in addition to Italy, in Germany, the USA, Brazil, Chile and the Netherlands, eFM now enters the Spanish market by acquiring 51% of Archibus Solution Center Spain, an Iberian player that currently manages over 10 million square metres and serves between 150 thousand and 200 thousand users through advanced digital platforms. "We are not entering Spain alone, but with a reality that is already integrated in the local market and that already has digitised property data. For too long American players have dominated this market with standardised logic. We reverse the paradigm: Europe needs its digital champion, who combines technological innovation with values rooted in our culture,' Di Fausto continues.

The demand for houses makes it important to digitise the sector in order to speed up construction processes, creating opportunities for those involved in digital management. "In August, we closed deals for Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands and France, and we are currently finalising deals for Canada and the US. The goal in the next five years is to become an Italian unicorn, reaching 200 million euro in sales (100 million in Europe and 100 million in the US) and 30 million global digital users."

eFM's strength, on which the company relies, is that of being the first platform in the world to offer experiences in places as a service (Experience as a Service), combining human relations and digital innovation, enhancement of the European architectural heritage and global scalability. Through the MySpot platform, which the company owns, it is possible to manage hybrid environments, integrating reservations, predictive maintenance, and community management.

"For us, the conception of space is very anthropocentric, linked to experiences," explains the CEO. "Digital is, in our view, about improving the user experience in the place where they are. This is where we think we are very unique: we don't need 'building operations', we need to ask what role that environment should play for those who use it. We need to give people serious motivation to use the space as a living tool to improve their personal and professional characteristics".
