Thurgauer Kantonalbank creates a central platform for 600 employees with Wüest Dimensions

By imple­menting Wüest Dimensions, Thurgauer Kantonalbank has consol­i­dated its real estate valua­tions into a central platform while stream­lining its IT infra­structure. Standardized processes, a consistent database, and a high degree of trans­parency now provide the foundation for efficient real estate valua­tions and a collab­o­rative partnership with Wüest Partner.

With over 900 employees and total assets of 36 billion Swiss francs, Thurgauer Kantonalbank (TKB) is one of Switzerland’s larger banks.

Real estate financing is its core business, and accord­ingly, it sets high standards for the quality and efficiency of real estate valua­tions.

TKB has relied on Wüest Partner’s expertise and digital solutions since 2002. Today, approx­i­mately 600 employees across various depart­ments use Wüest Dimensions for real estate valua­tions based on a variety of valuation methods, including DCF, hedonic residential property valuation, reference value, asset value, income value, and residual value. These are comple­mented by up-to-date market and location data, as well as micro-location ratings. TKB also uses other solutions, such as Wüest Refurb for client consulting and Wüest Visits for condition assess­ments.

From standalone solutions to an integrated system architecture

Before imple­menting Wüest Dimensions, Thurgauer Kantonalbank used several solutions from different providers. This resulted in a high admin­is­trative burden and multiple points of contact, making it increas­ingly challenging to handle complex real estate valua­tions accurately and efficiently. The bank was therefore looking for a centralized, future-proof solution that would simplify processes while also meeting the growing demands of modern real estate valua­tions.

Streamlined processes and greater efficiency

Thanks to Wüest Dimensions, Thurgauer Kantonalbank is able to standardize its processes and consol­idate multiple stand­alone solutions onto a single platform. Its employees now have access to all relevant valuation models, as well as market and location infor­mation, in a unified work environment. Wüest Dimensions has also brought functional improve­ments, including in real estate valua­tions and investment planning.

Moreover, a central point of contact at Wüest Partner ensures direct commu­ni­cation and efficient collab­o­ration.

“Wüest Partner under­stands our needs and supports us as a reliable partner on equal footing. We partic­u­larly appre­ciate their high level of expertise, person­alized support, and straight­forward collab­o­ration. As a result, we not only receive a high-performance solution, but also the support we need for a successful, long-term partnership.”

Partnership as a key to success

The long-standing partnership between Thurgauer Kantonalbank and Wüest Partner goes far beyond simply providing a software solution. This ongoing collab­o­ration makes it possible to identify new require­ments early on and jointly develop solutions that deliver lasting improve­ments to day-to-day opera­tions.

“Our collab­o­ration with Thurgauer Kantonalbank is charac­terized by trust, direct commu­ni­cation, and constructive dialogue. As part of the imple­men­tation of Wüest Dimensions for Thurgauer Kantonalbank, we jointly identified and imple­mented various improve­ments that also provide signif­icant added value when integrating Wüest Dimensions into other banking processes.”
