Case Study: A Case of Overflowing Yardi Data
33Floors solved a case of overflowing Yardi data for operations and accounting personnel at a large U.S.-based multinational commercial real estate owner/developer with hundreds of employees.
Client challenges
The client’s Yardi database contained an immense amount of data pertinent to both property operators and accounting personnel that wasn’t used or disseminated effectively. The data included critical dates — lease expirations, rent steps, mortgage payments and report responsibilities — as well as data validation and user activity issues. 33Floors was tasked with parsing the information to the appropriate end-users efficiently and conveniently. The client wished to:
- Track operational and reporting due dates that previously had no place to be monitored in the system.
- Receive timely, targeted notifications of critical dates and information.
- Enforce better management and policy compliance to achieve a clean audit opinion.
