ZURICH, Switzerland, LONDON and AMSTERDAM, March 10, 2026 — Optiml, an award-winning ETH Zurich spin-off and leader in Real Estate Decision Intelligence (REDI), and Scaler, a premier sustainability data management platform designed specifically for the real estate sector, have announced a strategic alliance to integrate real estate data infrastructure with institutional-grade decision-making tools.

This collaboration allows real estate owners, investors, and asset managers to transition from disjointed reporting and static planning toward a dynamic, finance-oriented decision framework that integrates operational metrics, decarbonization strategies, and capital deployment across international portfolios.

Through this partnership, Optiml and Scaler will assist stakeholders in the following ways:

• Standardizing and unifying data streams across various systems and global regions
• Improving the analysis of retrofit and Capex scenarios while accounting for financial, technical, and sustainability-related transition factors
• Bolstering investor and regulatory reporting with transparent, audit-ready documentation
• Refining Capex sequencing and allocation to safeguard asset value, yield, and refinancing flexibility

Bridging data infrastructure with a decision-making layer

Scaler offers a centralized, high-integrity data foundation encompassing operational, technical, and ESG metrics across building portfolios. Optiml’s REDI platform serves as the execution layer, utilizing these data points alongside engineering-grade digital building twins to generate audit-ready insights for investment committees, refinancing, and capital allocation. This covers the entire asset lifecycle—from acquisition to exit—to preserve NAV/yield and optimize Capex/IRR amidst evolving operational and sustainability requirements.

“Real estate investors possess significant amounts of sustainability and operational data, yet this information is frequently trapped in reports rather than informing capital strategy. By linking Scaler’s data infrastructure with Optiml’s decision intelligence, we are providing portfolio managers with a closed-loop system where every investment choice is supported by actual performance data and adjusted in real-time as conditions shift.”

stated Luc Van De Boom, Co-Founder and CIO of Scaler.

“Collaborating with Scaler bridges the gap between operational data and institutional capital strategy. Data alone is insufficient; investors require governance and optimization to convert that information into actionable underwriting. Together, we are providing real estate leaders with a living decision-making system for the world’s largest asset class.”

stated Dr. Evan Petkov, Co‑Founder & CEO of Optiml.

Addressing structural and regulatory demands

The partnership arrives as the real estate sector navigates rising interest rates, a looming refinancing wall, more stringent requirements from lenders and occupiers, and increasingly rigorous sustainability regulations. These factors place significant pressure on liquidity, asset values, and cash yields. Simultaneously, LPs and investors are increasingly seeking auditable, finance-grade Capex strategies that protect yield, NAV, and refinancing options.

Currently, many portfolios rely on static plans and retrospective reporting that quickly become obsolete as market conditions, budgets, leasing events, and regulations evolve. By merging Scaler’s data backbone with Optiml’s decision intelligence, institutional owners can implement continuous, auditable, and optimization-driven decision-making at scale.
