A Look at CRE Software Reporting Distilled Down to P/L

Distillation is the process of separating the components from a larger mixture. Distilling is used in alcohol, water, oil and other liquid mixtures. Humans have been using distilling since 3000 BC. But did you know that commercial real estate professionals do their own form of distilling?

It comes in the form of profit and loss. Separating those numbers from the rest is a difficult task on your own, but commercial real estate software makes it easier. From lease administration and accounting to property and asset management, CRE software can arm you with all of the in-depth details you need to properly evaluate your P/L.

Projections and Commercial Real Estate Software Amidst an Evolving Landscape

By Guy Gray | CRE Software

Wouldn’t it be nice if crystal balls actually worked? We could pick the winner of the World Series each year, predict when there is bad traffic on the way home from work and prepare for any worldwide pandemics that are on the horizon.

As the future of the traditional office is under question due to uncertainty brought on by the Coronavirus, professionals that manage leases are relying on the data to forecast and make decisions.

Why Quarem Was Ahead of the Curve on the Recent Contact-Free Developments

By Meredith Beasley | Pandemic

For many of us, making the adjustment to remote work from home was something we never expected to do. In the wake of it all, we found ourselves scrambling both in and out of the office. Did I grab everything from my desk? How should I get set up at home? What the heck is Zoom and why do my coworkers need to see me working from home in my pajamas?

There were so many big changes occurring at once. On top of everything else, commercial tenants now had to address the issue of rent relief, which came with its own set of questions. If you found yourself struggling to remember the basics, like your landlord’s name, you aren’t alone. Rent relief is time sensitive so knowing the who, what, when, where, and why of all your leases is critical. Unfortunately, many people discovered they weren’t prepared just as the clock was ticking.

By Guy Gray | Lease Administration Services

Umbrellas are great. They block the sun, rain and unwanted onlookers from invading our privacy. But these folding canopies are more than just the fabric that sits atop them—they have many moving parts. From the stretchers and top notch to the handle and bottom spring, each component in an umbrella is crucial for its successful operation.

Lease administration is the same way. There are several different services that fall under the umbrella term of “lease administration,” but each is important. Let’s take a look at the different facets of lease administration services and how lease administration software can help.

Avoiding Analysis Paralysis with CRE Reporting Software

By Guy Gray | CRE Reporting

One of the most popular of “Aesop’s Fables” is about a fox and a cat. In this tale, a cat and fox discuss their tricks for avoiding capture. The cat only has one, while the fox has several. When hunters arrive on the scene, the cat quickly escapes up a tree while the fox is caught because he takes too long thinking about the different courses of action he can take.

This fable is a commentary on “analysis paralysis.” It shows the benefits of finding a balance between speed, resourcefulness and strategy when making important decisions. As it applies to commercial real estate, overthinking can be your enemy. Fortunately, you can avoid analysis paralysis with CRE reporting software.

What Effect Will Autonomous Cars Have on Traditional Signage for CRE Pros?

By Guy Gray | Autonomous Cars

Autonomous cars are a hot topic these days. While we have no truly autonomous cars (i.e. cars that let you operate them sans steering wheel and pedals) at this time, we have seen rapid development toward wide adoption of cars that will pilot themselves. In fact, some brands like Volvo have announced plans to start selling self-driving cars to the public by 2022.

As this technology-filled future becomes a reality, what effect should we expect it to have on traditional signage? Will people be more connected to their surroundings since they don’t have to have eyes in front of them or will we see people disconnect entirely? (Perhaps a little bit of both?) Let’s take a look.

By Meredith Beasley | Lease Management

We often get asked about our competitors, and our answer usually surprises people. Sure, there are other players in the lease management software game that we compete with, but spreadsheets are truly the oldest and fiercest of the bunch.

Though there are many positives, there are also several drawbacks, especially when you manage a mid-size to large portfolio. So, let’s explore some of the drawbacks of using spreadsheets to manage your leases.
