Fairwalter

What Fairwalter does

Fairwalter AG is a Swiss cloud-based SaaS provider of property management software (Immobiliensoftware) headquartered in Zürich at Köchlistrasse 2. Founded in 2017 and operating as a subsidiary of W&W Immo Informatik AG, the company targets four horizontal segments within Switzerland: professional property managers (Immobilienverwalter), companies with real-estate holdings (Unternehmen), public-sector institutions and communes (Öffentliche Hand), and private landlords (Vermieter). The platform unifies property administration, rental management, inventory tracking, digital apartment handover inspections, full double-entry bookkeeping, Nebenkosten (ancillary cost) allocation, accounts receivable, and accounts payable workflows in a single web application, with localized Swiss features including QR-bill (QR-Rechnung) integration, Swiss accounting standards, and audit-ready reporting. Reported scale is 1,500+ active users and 11–50 employees.

The product surface is modular and centered on an Immobilienverwaltung core, with complementary modules for Vermietung (rental), Prozessoptimierung (workflow), Inventarverwaltung (inventory), Wohnungsübergabe (handover with a dedicated mobile app), Buchhaltung (accounting), Nebenkosten, Debitoren, and Kreditoren. An AI layer branded Walter provides in-app support assistance, AI-powered document tagging and search, and automated invoice extraction with QR-code reading; image processing supports damage documentation. The technology stack is a browser-delivered SaaS with mobile companion apps for inspections, API-based master data synchronization, and integrations with partners including Zinsli (digital rental deposits), Abnahme App (inspection protocols), and Quick Schild (signage). No public API, SDK, or developer portal is disclosed.

Fairwalter operates a product-led growth motion: prospects self-register on fairwalter.com, start a 14-day free trial without a credit card, and convert to subscription tiers (Basic, Professional, Enterprise) billed monthly or annually with optional add-on modules. Enterprise and complex deployments are supported through direct sales and live product demonstrations. Recurring SaaS subscriptions are the sole disclosed revenue stream; pricing is not publicly disclosed for paid tiers. Marketing relies on content (blog, 100+ tutorials, 50+ videos), monthly webinars, social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X), PR in Swiss outlets (NZZ, KGeld), customer testimonials, and downloadable checklists. The company is privately held with no external venture or private-equity ownership signals beyond a single $655,845 raise in March 2021.

• Topicasa AG: Swiss-domiciled property management and marketing software for real estate professionals. Directly competes with Fairwalter in the Swiss SMB and professional property manager segment with overlapping accounting and listing capabilities.

• immobilien.io (by iBROKING): Cloud-based property management software targeted at Swiss landlords and small property managers. Comparable SaaS delivery model, similar SMB/prosumer focus, and overlapping feature set around rent, accounting, and tenant workflows.

Broad incumbents

• W&W Immo Informatik AG: Parent/affiliated Swiss real estate software firm offering broader real estate IT solutions. Comparable because it operates the same domain with overlapping customers and provides the strategic backbone behind Fairwalter.

Emerging players

Regional players
