About
Ask Wire creates a comprehensive profile of each property across Europe by assembling data from a variety of sources, including government databases, European organizations, and high-resolution satellite images. With Ask Wire’s granular property profiles, customers can develop bespoke Solutions and access the information they need to create products and services connected to real estate, such as automating ESG reporting, gaining market insights on construction activity and prices, and monitoring environmental risk. Ask Wire offers both data-as-a-service (DaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) options to our clients. In addition to providing access to our data and models, we also work closely with our clients to help them structure and reorganize their processes, develop new products and services, and create effective real estate strategies.

Innovation & Scalability
Large scale, accessible data is limited across the EU, with significant opportunities to target smaller institutions, SMEs, and retail clients. Large scale data aggregators are mostly active in the US due to the lack of standardisation and fragmentation of data across countries. Currently, in the Greek market, do not exist any competitive solutions that can provide this level of services. The creation of digital property profiles across Europe enables to identify and unlock opportunities, address regulatory reporting requirements, and automate decision making. More specifically, Ask Wire’s property profiles in conjunction with its innovative solutions offering enable to: - Access insights by segmenting the real estate submarkets, identifying new construction projects, and mapping-out new opportunities. - Automate real estate analytics through automated valuation models and property analysis to manage risk, identify opportunities, and optimise decision making processes. - Identify environmental risks and monitor such environmental, as well as climate-related risks to facilitate ESG reporting, compliance with EU’s climate-change stress tests, identify risks in insurance, and optimise pricing decisions. - Make informed decisions about energy investments and their impact on the environment, as well as assess the financial benefits of investing in solar energy, reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices.
