housing cooperative FÖFA Waldshut-Tiengen eG:
Dreams need space.
The current housing cooperative FÖFA Waldshut-Tiengen eG was formed in 2007 from the merger of Förderskreis Tiengen eG and Familienheim Waldshut-Tiengen Baugenossenschaft eG. The roots of the two predecessor companies date back to 1949 and 1950, respectively. Today's FÖFA housing cooperative stands for the cooperative principle and affordable, high-quality housing. Its motto encapsulates this commitment: "We create living spaces for you, because dreams need room!" The ongoing development of its own properties is also part of this mission. Living quality, energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and the long-term preservation of the buildings' value play a crucial role. Currently, the cooperative manages 978 residential units and eight commercial units in 108 properties in the Waldshut-Tiengen area.

Baugenossenschaft FÖFAChallenge: Billing for 978 apartments
With nearly 1.000 apartments, numerous tasks arise concerning metering technology, billing, and smoke detectors. The devices must be managed and maintained. Billing must be reliably generated. Furthermore, legal and technical requirements change over the years. For the FÖFA housing cooperative, reliable support is therefore essential. Dedicated contacts, familiar with the properties and processes, ensure efficient communication and prompt responses.
Solution: Property management services
Over the course of more than 25 years of collaboration, Minol has supported the FÖFA housing cooperative with various services in its day-to-day operations. These services now include heating cost billing, a rental service for measuring devices, the creation of energy performance certificates, smoke detector maintenance, and the use of Minol Direct. The portfolio managed comprises a total of 9.758 devices.
| devices | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Heat cost allocator | 3.797 |
| water meter | 1.834 |
| Heat meter | 214 |
| Smoke alarm | 3.913 |
Minol's 3.913 smoke detectors are serviced by B.One Smoke Detector Service . Minol tests the devices annually to ensure they are functioning correctly and performs any necessary maintenance. The wireless technology automatically reports certain malfunctions and conditions, such as blocked smoke vents. This information is documented in Minol Direct.
Collaboration: Contact persons who know the customer
An important aspect of the collaboration is the long-standing contacts on both sides. Minol has been advising the housing cooperative for many years and is familiar with its structures, contacts, and established processes.
We have been working with some of Minol's employees for many years. They are familiar with our processes and know what is important for our inventory. This makes day-to-day collaboration easier.

For the housing cooperative, the long-standing partnership also means that many services related to billing, metering technology, and smoke detectors are provided by a single source. Relevant information is centrally available via Minol Direct. Billing statements, device data, meter readings, energy performance certificates, and smoke detector information can all be viewed and managed there. This creates a central overview of the portfolio and reduces the coordination effort with various service providers.
The housing cooperative FÖFA relies on Minol for a large portion of its tasks related to billing, metering technology, and smoke detectors. For us, it's important not just to provide individual services, but to reliably support the customer over many years.
