| ORTEC | Legacy | ORTEC Service Planning | Field Service Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, De Key implemented ORTEC Service Planning, a Field Service Management application to automate scheduling of tenant repair and maintenance work. De Key manages 34,000 residential units around Amsterdam, receives roughly 150 repair requests per day through its call center, and operates approximately 100 technicians, which defined the operational scale and throughput requirements for ORTEC Service Planning.
ORTEC Service Planning was configured to enable intake personnel to book appointments directly into the work schedule at the best available time slot, removing the need for constant cross-departmental coordination. The implementation leveraged ORTEC’s routing algorithm to calculate efficient technician routes and cluster assignments, and the solution supported appointment time windows precise enough to provide tenants with specific arrival times rather than morning or afternoon blocks.
The deployment was integrated with De Key’s existing information system to synchronize intake data and work orders, and it was extended with a customer-facing web portal for self-service appointment booking. Technicians received a Personal Digital Assistant integration that provided real-time schedule visibility and allowed live updates from the field. De Key also runs ORTEC WALS alongside ORTEC Service Planning to feed scenario and maintenance planning insights into operational scheduling.
Operational scope encompassed the call center, intake assistants, planners, and field technicians, centralizing scheduling and field orchestration under the Field Service Management application. Process changes reduced the manual practice of printing individual repair requests and placing them on technicians’ mailboxes, and they reduced the frequency of planner intake meetings by shifting assignment decisions into the application workflow.
Outcomes reported by De Key included a 20% increase in completed work assignments, reduced travel time and mileage leading to cost savings, improved supervisor visibility into schedules, and higher customer satisfaction driven by more accurate arrival times. These results reflect tighter automation of scheduling, route optimization, and the deployment of customer and technician interfaces supported by ORTEC Service Planning.

In 2017 De Key implemented Microsoft 365 to support Collaboration across its property management and corporate teams. The deployment established Microsoft 365 Collaboration capabilities for a construction and real estate organization of about 200 employees in the Netherlands. Public site references indicate Microsoft 365 assets are in use on De Key’s website, confirming an active cloud productivity footprint.
The implementation centers on a cloud-hosted Microsoft 365 tenant with core Collaboration modules deployed, including Microsoft Teams for real-time communication, Exchange Online for email and calendaring, and SharePoint Online together with OneDrive for document management, intranet and team site collaboration. Configuration work emphasized shared document libraries, team sites and group-based collaboration workflows, aligning Microsoft 365 features with property management and corporate communications processes.
Operational coverage spans corporate functions, finance, facilities and property management departments across the Netherlands, serving the full employee population. Governance was established at the tenant level with identity and access control via Azure Active Directory, role based permissions and information management policies to align access to business roles and departmental responsibilities. The narrative positions De Key Microsoft 365 Collaboration as a centralized cloud collaboration layer for internal communication and document lifecycle management.
