Every project and every property, with its own budget and results

Developers build in phases, with dozens of contractors and payments in foreign currency. Companies that let offices, retail space or warehouses invoice rent and utilities every month. Business Central links projects, contracts, settlements and finance, so you can see what each property costs and what it earns.

In Real Estate, profit is calculated property by property

A construction budget overrun that only shows up at the end, an indexed rent nobody invoiced, utilities paid by the owner and never re-⁠billed to tenants. When costs and revenue are recorded by project, building and unit, you can see in time where money is lost.

Challenges

Key Challenges for Property Developers and Property Managers

Common situations in property development and in managing rental space.

  • Construction budget overruns are noticed too late
  • Contractor payments and completed work are tracked in spreadsheets
  • Lease contracts, indexation and deadlines live in folders
  • Monthly rent and utility invoices are prepared by hand
  • Tenant and buyer arrears are discovered late
  • The results of each building or phase are not visible

Benefits

What a Real Estate company gains

Results depend on your processes and data quality. Here is what becomes possible.

Construction budget under control

Deviations from budget show up by phase and type of work while you can still act.

Monthly invoices without manual work

Rent and utilities are invoiced by contract, and each contract's dates and prices are kept in the system.

Results for every property
