PapayaPods is excited to be working closely together with a Swiss partner, to help their in-house real estate management team manage the repair and maintenance processes with their tenants for more than 15’000 apartments across Switzerland, by building custom software. More news will follow over the course of the next few months. In the meantime, thank you for everything. The PapayaPods Founders
