Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The panel's verdict

Novacom's captured pages market Nova, conversational AI agents that handle telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp around the clock, with case studies from insurance, retail and mobility — VW, Mercedes, Stellantis, and the LDB Gruppe, whose agent "Carla" takes thousands of calls daily. Judged as WEG management software, the pages show almost nothing: WEG accounting, assembly and resolutions, and documents and handover sit at 0, with no public information on a business plan, annual settlement, owners' meetings, a resolution register, or a defined handover export. The strongest criterion is sovereignty, where scores cluster at 3-4 on a Berlin company founded in 1995, development in Germany, and claimed DSGVO conformity and TISAX certification; the judges who score 3 weigh the unanswered hosting-location and subprocessor questions more heavily than those who score 4. A smaller split runs through owner self-service and maintenance and defects at 0-1: two judges credit the always-on intake channel for simple service requests, while the rest score 0 and hold that a call-centre front door is not owner access or an operating record. No prices are published.

Speaks for it

  • Sovereignty is the highest-scoring criterion, with scores clustered at 3-4.
  • Contracting entity is a German company at Kantstraße 63a, Berlin, founded in 1995, with development in Germany.
  • Vendor states DSGVO conformity and TISAX certification.
  • The round-the-clock telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp intake channel drew 1 from two judges on owner self-service and maintenance and defects.

Report an error

Held against it

  • WEG accounting, assembly and resolutions, and documents and handover cluster at 0.
  • No public information on hosting location or any subprocessor behind the AI processing of conversations.
  • No public information on per-owner logins, statements, documents or meeting papers behind the general intake channel.
  • Intake without tracking — no public information on defect records, contractor work orders or proof of statutory inspections.
  • No public prices of any kind; the only contact evidenced is info@novacom.de.

Report an error

Best for

  • You want an always-on telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp channel that answers simple service inquiries and books appointments.
  • You weight a German contracting entity, development in Germany and stated DSGVO conformity and TISAX certification highly; sovereignty is where scores cluster highest, at 3-4.
  • You are sourcing conversational AI for customer communication in insurance, retail or mobility rather than statutory WEG administration.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You need the statutory WEG financial cycle — business plan, annual settlement, distribution keys, reserve handling — in the system; WEG accounting scores sit at 0.
  • You must convene and minute owners' meetings and keep a maintained resolution register; assembly and resolutions scores sit at 0.
  • Your owners need their own logins to statements, documents and meeting papers rather than a general service line.
  • A defined export of the community's records at handover time matters to you; documents and handover scores sit at 0.

The scores

Wirtschaftsplan, Jahresabrechnung & Rücklage

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The statutory financial cycle: business plan, annual settlement in the form the law and the BGH require, distribution keys, and the separate handling of reserve funds held in trust for the community.

0 — General bookkeeping only; no Wirtschaftsplan, no Jahresabrechnung, no distribution keys, reserves treated as ordinary balances.

3 — Templates that help a human produce the documents, with distribution keys entered by hand and no separation of the Rücklage.

5 — Wirtschaftsplan and Jahresabrechnung generated from the ledger with configurable distribution keys (MEA, units, consumption), and reserves booked separately.

8 — Settlement in the post-2021 BGH form with the Abrechnungsspitze shown separately, Vermögensbericht produced, heating-cost apportionment per HeizkostenV integrated, owner-change apportionment mid-year handled, and Hausgeld arrears tracked with dunning.

10 — The whole financial year is discharged inside the system: multi-community bookkeeping with strict per-WEG separation, trust accounting for reserves with its own reporting, settlement documents an accountant would sign, and the arithmetic auditable back to individual postings.

Report an error

The WEG Administrator

The captured pages present conversational AI agents for telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp serving insurance, retail and mobility clients — we found no public information on a business plan, an annual settlement, distribution keys or separate reserve handling. Nothing here would carry a community through the March settlement run. 1

Report an error

The Advisory Board Member

The captured pages present an AI agent for customer communication aimed at insurers, retailers and mobility companies; I found no public information on a business plan, an annual settlement, distribution keys or separate handling of the reserve fund. As an owner who checks the administrator's settlement, I have nothing here that I could follow back to a posting. 1

The Accountant

The captured pages present an AI communication agent for phone, e-mail and WhatsApp in insurance, retail and mobility; we found no public information on a business plan, annual settlement, distribution keys, heating-cost apportionment or the separate handling of reserve funds. Absent any evidence of the statutory financial cycle, this sits at the bottom anchor. 1

Report an error

The Portfolio Manager

The captured page describes AI dialogue agents for insurance, retail and mobility clients; we found no public information on a business plan, annual settlement, distribution keys or separate reserve handling. For my portfolio that means I cannot run a single community's financial cycle on what is published. 1

The Skeptic

The captured pages market AI dialogue agents to insurers, retailers and mobility groups; I found no public information on a Wirtschaftsplan, a Jahresabrechnung in the post-2021 form, distribution keys, or the separate handling of the Rücklage. For a community's statutory financial cycle that is the bottom of the scale. 1

Eigentümerversammlung & Beschluss-Sammlung

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Convening, running and recording the owners' meeting — including the resolution register the law requires the administrator to maintain, and the majority arithmetic that decides whether a resolution stands.

0 — No meeting support; invitations and minutes are written elsewhere and the Beschluss-Sammlung is a document somewhere.

3 — Invitation templates and a place to store minutes, but no agenda structure, no voting support and no maintained resolution register.

5 — Agenda-driven invitations respecting the notice period, attendance and proxy recording, voting with the common majority types, and a Beschluss-Sammlung kept as a numbered register.

8 — Quorum and majority computed per resolution type including MEA-weighted and qualified majorities, proxies and voting restrictions handled, minutes generated from the recorded votes, and the register maintained continuously with amendment and invalidation notes as § 24 (7) requires.

10 — The meeting is conducted in the system: hybrid or written circulation procedures supported with their own legal rules, contested resolutions flagged within the challenge period, the register complete and exportable as evidence, and every entry traceable to the meeting that produced it.

Report an error

The WEG Administrator

We found no public information on convening an owners' meeting, agenda structure, notice periods, voting support or a maintained resolution register; the pages do not address the owners' meeting at all. Convening, minutes and the register would remain entirely on the administrator's desk. 1

Report an error

The Advisory Board Member

I found no public information on convening an owners' meeting, agenda structure, voting support or a maintained resolution register — the pages speak of telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp dialogues for automotive clients, not of Eigentümerversammlungen. Without a numbered Beschluss-Sammlung I could not even read up on what my community has resolved. 1

Report an error

The Accountant

We found no public information on convening owners' meetings, agendas, voting, majority arithmetic or a maintained resolution register; the pages describe automated dialogues for appointment scheduling at automotive clients. Nothing evidences even template-level meeting support. 1

Report an error

The Portfolio Manager

The vendor page is about phone, email and WhatsApp automation; we found no public information on convening owners' meetings, voting and majority arithmetic or a maintained resolution register. Nothing published would let me convene one Versammlung, let alone record its resolutions as the law requires. 1

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

We found no public information on convening an owners' meeting, recording attendance, proxies or votes, or maintaining the resolution register the administrator must keep. The automation evidenced is round-the-clock call handling and appointment booking, not meeting administration. 1

Report an error

The Skeptic

Everything captured concerns automated inbound calls, service requests and appointment booking; I found no public information on convening an owners' meeting, agenda handling, voting, majority arithmetic, or a maintained Beschluss-Sammlung with amendment and invalidation notes. 1

Owner & tenant self-service

Show reasoning
How this is scored

How an owner exercises their right to see the records, and how much routine correspondence the portal removes: statements, documents, meeting papers, defect reporting.

0 — No portal; every request is answered by email or post.

3 — A document download area with no per-owner scoping — everyone sees the same folder, or access is by emailed link.

5 — Per-owner login showing their own statements, documents and meeting papers, with a defect or request form that reaches the administrator.

8 — Owners and tenants scoped separately with correct visibility, meeting papers and voting available in the portal, defect reports with status visible to the reporter, and consumption or arrears shown per unit.

10 — The portal discharges the disclosure duty: every record an owner is entitled to see available on demand with an access log, tenant and owner views strictly separated, notifications for statutory deadlines, and enough self-service that routine correspondence largely disappears.

Report an error

The WEG Administrator

The agent answers telephone, e-mail and WhatsApp around the clock and handles simple service requests and appointments, which could absorb some routine calls, but we found no public information on per-owner logins, statements, documents or meeting papers. A front desk for every industry is not the access an owner is entitled to. 1

Report an error

The Advisory Board Member

There is a round-the-clock omnichannel channel that answers simple service inquiries, which is a reachable front door; but I found no public information on a per-owner login, personal statements, meeting papers or a defect form reaching an administrator. An owner's right to see the records of their own community finds no support in what is published. 1

Report an error

The Accountant

The pages show an agent answering simple service inquiries and scheduling appointments around the clock across channels, but we found no public information on a per-owner login, statements, documents, meeting papers or a defect form with status visibility. Without a scoped portal the self-service duty falls back to correspondence, automated or not. 1

Report an error

The Portfolio Manager

An agent taking calls and booking appointments is not an owner portal; we found no public information on per-owner logins, statements, meeting papers or defect reporting with visible status. The case study is a car-service hotline handling thousands of calls a day, which says nothing about an owner's right to inspect records. 1

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

We found no public information on an owner or tenant portal, per-owner visibility over statements, documents or meeting papers, or any access log. The only customer-facing capability evidenced is an AI agent handling thousands of daily calls, e-mail and WhatsApp messages. 1

The Skeptic

The round-the-clock omnichannel promise is a call-centre story — phone, email and WhatsApp for customers like car brands — and I found no public information on a per-owner login, per-unit statements, meeting papers, or a defect form reaching the administrator. 1

Maintenance, defects & contractors

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The building side: defect intake and tracking, recurring maintenance obligations, contractor assignment, and the evidence trail when something goes wrong.

0 — Defects arrive by phone and live in a notebook; no maintenance schedule.

3 — A ticket or note list per property, contractors contacted outside the system, no recurring maintenance calendar.

5 — Defect records per unit or property with status and photos, contractor assignment with a work order, and a recurring maintenance schedule with reminders.

8 — Warranty and Gewährleistung periods tracked against the responsible trade, statutory inspections (lift, heating, fire safety, drinking-water) scheduled with proof of completion stored, quotes and invoices linked to the defect, and cost allocated to the correct account.

10 — A defensible operating record: every obligation, inspection and defect with its evidence and dates, contractor performance visible, budget consumption against the Wirtschaftsplan tracked live, and a history that answers the question of what the administrator knew and when.

Report an error

The WEG Administrator

Simple service requests and appointment scheduling are taken by the agent, but we found no public information on defect records per property, contractor assignment, recurring maintenance calendars or statutory inspections with proof of completion. Intake without tracking leaves no operating record for when something goes wrong. 1

Report an error

The Advisory Board Member

The agent takes calls and books appointments day and night — one case study has it handling thousands of calls daily — so an automated intake channel exists. Beyond intake, I found no public information on defect records per unit, work orders for contractors, inspection duties or warranty periods; the evidence trail I would need when something goes wrong is not something the pages show. 1

Report an error

The Accountant

We found no public information on defect records, recurring maintenance calendars, statutory inspections or contractor work orders; the evidence covers AI call handling and cost-reduction claims of up to 50 percent for VW, Mercedes and Stellantis service lines. No building-side operating record is evidenced. 1

Report an error

The Portfolio Manager

We found no public information on defect records per unit, contractor work orders, recurring maintenance calendars or stored proof of completion for statutory inspections of lifts, heating, fire safety or drinking water. That evidence trail is exactly what I live on, and the captured page speaks only to simple service calls and appointment scheduling for automotive clients. 1

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

We found no public information on defect intake, recurring maintenance obligations, contractor work orders or stored proof of statutory inspections. The pages evidence customer-service automation, and nothing on the building side. 1

Documents, retention & handover

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The archive and the exit. A Verwalter's appointment is finite by law, and the records belong to the community — so handover is a statutory event, not a support ticket.

0 — Documents live on a shared drive; no retention rules, and handover means copying folders.

3 — Central document storage per property with folders and upload, but no versioning, no retention policy and no defined handover export.

5 — Structured document management per property and unit with search, retention periods stated, and a documented export of a community's records.

8 — Full-text search across the archive, version history, documents linked to the resolutions and settlements that reference them, and a complete handover package (ledger, register, documents, master data) in open formats.

10 — Handover is a first-class feature rather than an obstacle: a complete, structured export a successor administrator can actually load, retention executed per statutory period, an access log over the archive, and no commercial friction placed in the way of a community leaving.

Report an error

The WEG Administrator

We found no public information on structured document management, version history, retention periods, or a defined export of a community's records. There is nothing in evidence that a successor administrator could load at the end of an appointment. 1

Report an error

The Advisory Board Member

I found no public information on structured document management, version history, retention periods or any handover export of a community's records. When a Verwalter's appointment ends, the published pages give me nothing that would carry the archive to a successor. 1

The Data Protection Officer

We found no public information on structured document storage, retention periods that execute, version history or a defined handover export of a community's records.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Where the community's financial and personal records live, who the contracting entity is, and which subprocessors touch them. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as this buyer weighs it.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated or non-EU, subprocessors unnamed.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — document OCR, AI features, support tooling — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — German or EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, complete subprocessor list published, any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor European, certification published, and an export that keeps the community compliant for the full retention period after the appointment ends.

Report an error

The WEG Administrator

The pages name a Berlin company as the contracting entity, describe development in Germany and claim GDPR conformity and TISAX certification, but we found no public information on hosting location or on the subprocessors an AI product inevitably relies on. A German contracting entity with an undisclosed processing chain does not get far past the low bar. 1

Report an error

The Advisory Board Member

A German GmbH in Berlin, founded in 1995, developing in Germany, with DSGVO conformity and TISAX certification claimed — that is a European footing. But I found no public information on hosting location, named infrastructure or a subprocessor list, and the certifications rest on the vendor's own statement rather than independently collected attributes. 1

Report an error

The Accountant

The contracting entity is a German GmbH at Kantstraße 63a in Berlin, founded 1995, with development in Germany and a published claim of DSGVO conformity and TISAX certification. However, we found no public information on where hosting runs or on any named infrastructure, and no subprocessor list appears, which caps this between the bottom anchors. 1

The Portfolio Manager

The contracting entity is a Berlin company, the software is described as developed in Germany, and the page claims DSGVO conformity and TISAX certification — a real start for a firm like mine. But hosting location is unstated and no subprocessor list is published, so I cannot yet verify the chain my communities' financial records would travel. 1

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The contracting entity is a German company in Berlin, founded in 1995, with public claims of DSGVO conformity, TISAX certification and development in Germany.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The contracting entity is a Berlin company claiming DSGVO conformity and TISAX certification, but I found no public information on hosting location or on any subprocessor — and an AI-agent product processing conversations across channels is exactly where a named chain matters. Entity in the EU with hosting and subprocessors unanswered is a partial picture, not a sovereign one. 1

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether an administrator can compute the real annual cost for the units under management — including modules, per-community fees and setup — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every quote is a sales conversation.

3 — A per-unit or per-community headline exists, but modules, minimum terms, setup or migration fees are unstated.

5 — Per-unit or per-community prices public with billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed piece (portal, accounting module, document storage) sits in an unpriced bundle.

8 — Every tier and module priced publicly with per-unit maths, minimum term, setup and migration costs and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given number of units and communities including every module, with no per-seat surprises and any exit or export fee stated outright.

Report an error

The WEG Administrator

The only figure on the captured pages is a marketing claim of up to 50 % cost reduction, which is not a price; we found no public prices for any module, term, setup or billing period. Every real annual cost for the units under management would have to come from a sales conversation. 1
