Hegnsholt Ejendomsadministration is Rumli’s first acquisition. With it, the team behind Proper moves from building property management software to managing properties itself.
Hegnsholt grew out of Københavns Ejendomskontor, where Jesper Schimming started his career in the industry. In 2016, he took over a number of management agreements and founded Hegnsholt Ejendomsadministration. Since then, the portfolio has grown organically through recommendations.
For Jesper, the sale is a way to give Hegnsholt stronger support. Customers still benefit from his experience, now with more colleagues, a larger organisation and software built for property management, with AI to help with routine tasks.
“Jesper’s expertise means a lot, and working with Rumli now feels even more secure with a whole team behind him.”
Rumli intends to build on that confidence.
Why the change makes sense
When Hegnsholt was founded, Jesper switched from Strato to e-conomic. It made sense at the time because accounting and finances were a large part of the work for many smaller customers.
Today, the challenge is different. E-conomic is strong on finances, but property management requires more than accounting. Enquiries, documents, payments and follow-up need to work together without too many manual steps.
This is where Rumli fits. Its software is built for property management, and the developers sit alongside the property managers who use it every day. When a routine can be automated, they can discuss it and work on a solution.
The first results at Hegnsholt
In a few months, Hegnsholt has increased its contribution margin to around 35%. This comes from spending less time on repetitive routines and more time on cases where experience and personal attention matter, rather than simply working faster.
“When manual routines take up less time, we have more time for owners, tenants and the cases that need experience. That is where you notice the quality,” says Jesper Schimming of Hegnsholt Ejendomsadministration.
What customers notice
Most customers already notice that the team around their properties has grown, partly because there is even more time for each customer. Rumli moves customers over gradually to avoid disruption.
The aim is a smooth transition for owners, preserving history, workflows, agreements and the relationship with the same property manager.
For tenants, the goal is faster answers and fewer cases getting stuck. A maintenance enquiry should be traceable from the first message to resolution, without anyone having to search an inbox for the next task.
Rumli’s next steps
Hegnsholt is Rumli’s first acquisition, but not its last. The plan is to acquire more established management companies in Denmark and use the experience from Hegnsholt as the foundation for further growth.
