Heime

What Heime does

Heime Proptech AS is a Norwegian residential-community technology company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Stavanger with a secondary office in Oslo. The company operates a mobile-first neighborhood platform that functions as a closed, resident-verified social and administrative hub for housing cooperatives (sameie), homeowner associations (borettslag), and planned residential developments. Residents use the app to reserve shared facilities (guest apartments, common rooms, kayaks, bicycles, boats), coordinate activities via a shared calendar, lend and borrow items, message neighbors, and access digital keys. Board members use administrative tooling for case processing, surveys, document management, and resident communication. Property developers license the platform as a differentiator for new construction projects, with a premium tier (Heime Pluss) targeting projects of 50+ units that includes concept-marketing support, lock integration, and activity hosting services.

The platform is delivered as native mobile apps distributed via App Store and Google Play and is integrated with Vipps for Norwegian payment processing, Kartverket (the Norwegian Land Registry) for resident identity verification, and several mobility and access-control providers (Otto bildeling, Aneo Mobility, Mobidock). Backend infrastructure runs on AWS EU with Norwegian data residency, error tracking via Sentry, and product analytics via Amplitude. Additional modules include info-screens for common areas, garage-access administration, whitelabel customization, design-process consulting, digital keys, and activity packages.

Commercially, Heime generates revenue through per-unit monthly subscriptions (49 NOK for the self-service "Gjør-det-selv" tier, from 90 NOK for "Heime Pluss"), one-time setup fees (100,000 NOK flat for DIY or 3,000 NOK per unit for Pluss with a 50-unit minimum), and potential transaction fees routed through Vipps. Go-to-market is multi-modal: product-led growth via a free 30-day demo requiring no payment details, direct sales to property developers for new-construction deployments, and channel partnerships with property management firms such as Bate. LINK Arkitektur holds an equity stake following a 2023 investment, and the platform reports adoption across 68,000 homes in 987 neighborhoods.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• OBOS: Norway's largest housing cooperative with digital services for residents, board members, and new-build buyers — a broad incumbent operating in the same Norwegian housing-association market and a potential competitor or partner for Heime's offerings.
• Vitec: Nordic vertical software provider with real-estate and property-management solutions across Scandinavia — a broad incumbent serving some of the same housing-developer and management customers Heime targets.
• Bate BBL: Major Norwegian property management firm for housing cooperatives, sitting on Heime's board and acting as a distribution partner. Operates adjacent services that could either expand or compete with Heime's residential engagement platform.
• Aareon: Leading European real-estate software vendor with broad property-management and resident-portal suites across the Nordics and wider Europe — comparable at the PropTech category level and a likely competitor for large Nordic property portfolios.

Direct peers

• PayHOA: A US SaaS platform serving homeowner and condo associations with communication, payments, and admin tools — closest international analogue to Heime's housing-cooperative board and resident-management workflow.
• Nextdoor: The dominant neighborhood-level social platform; comparable to Heime in addressing neighbor-to-neighbor communication and local community engagement, although broader and consumer-led rather than housing-cooperative-anchored.
• BuildingLink: US-headquartered resident and building management app for condos, HOAs, and residential buildings, offering amenities booking, resident communication, package tracking, and board admin — directly comparable functionality to Heime's core platform.
• Realpad: A Norwegian PropTech platform that digitizes board management, communication, and resident services for housing cooperatives and sameie — the same primary customer base and use cases (bookings, resident messaging, board tools) as Heime.

Emerging players

• Wild Apricot: Member-management and community-engagement platform for associations and resident groups — overlapping with Heime's activity-calendar, neighbor-directory, and member-communication features though not housing-anchored.

Others

• Vipps: Norway's dominant mobile-payment platform and a core integration partner for Heime's booking and payment flows. Functions as critical enabling infrastructure rather than a competitor; outage or pricing changes would directly affect Heime's community-commerce economics.
