Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) is hosting an on-demand webinar around all things PropTech, where we look a little more into what it is, and what it can do for you.;
Technology for the property market
There are currently over 400 UK PropTech companies. The UK's PropTech market alone is worth around £6 billion, and it is already receiving 10 per cent global investment. PropTech has become a collective term for innovative start-ups, and it often describes companies that are disrupting the status quo of the industry by introducing technologies such as:
- AI-powered virtual assistants and chatbot platforms
- big data analytics which developers use to study algorithms and collect data on properties
- deep-learning which is being used for various types of analysis, such as market forecasts and investor analysis
- computer vision technology which enables systems to collect and interpret visual information in properties, make recommendations and take actions based on the gathered data
- API, which enables companies to extend their existing applications to external developers and other internal departments. This allows companies to share their data and functionality with each other
This innovative technology allows agents to streamline processes and save time and money when it comes to managing private rental processes.
