Commercial real estate reporting remains manual despite available data
The article cites Deloitte research showing 49% of enterprise CFOs name process automation as their top operational priority.
Commercial real estate teams can access data across platforms such as Yardi, MRI, and Argus, but fulfilling stakeholder-specific reporting requests still often turns into an exhausting manual bottleneck, according to an article in Commercial Observer.
The piece describes situations including an equity partner requesting a custom slice of debt service coverage across a regional portfolio, a lender seeking a specific trailing-12 occupancy view that factors in signed leases not yet occupied, and asset managers working from operating reports rather than a single standardized dashboard.
Commercial Observer also points to Deloitte’s CFO Signals Survey, which finds that 49% of enterprise chief financial officers cite process automation as their top operational priority, aimed at freeing teams from routine manual work.
The article argues that older enterprise software approaches focused on forcing standardized dashboards, but that strategy misses the reality that commercial real estate platforms and portfolio data needs are complex and vary across stakeholders.
