New Zealand-based property manager also implements browser-agnostic Software as a Solution core technology platform

Sydney, Australia, Dec 2013 – Since becoming a Yardi client in 2007, New Zealand-based commercial property management company KCL Property Ltd. has used its Yardi Voyager®property management and accounting platform to improve service to its investors, property owners and tenants. Its most recent actions toward this end involved automating its budgeting process with Yardi Advanced Budgeting & Forecasting™ and adopting the newest Software as a Service (SaaS) version of Yardi Voyager.

KCL Property will use Yardi Advanced Budgeting & Forecasting to generate budget projections for property-related revenue and expenses with tenant lease data drawn directly from Yardi Voyager. “This automated, flexible solution contains several features that will make our annual budgeting cycle shorter, more accurate and more efficient,” said Adrian Leach, group accountant for KCL Property. “By building our budgeting solution into Voyager rather than importing and exporting data, we shorten our forecast preparations and update actuals and run variance reports in real time. When necessary, we can reforecast monthly and quarterly budgets using actuals at the click of a button. Multiple staff members can work on portions of budgets, which is more efficient than a single user working on one budget at a time. All this is possible because we no longer need to rely on Excel spreadsheets, which are not only open to user error but can also be inaccurate and time consuming to maintain.”

KCL Property complemented its new budgeting solution by upgrading to Voyager SaaS, a browser-agnostic platform that’s optimised for easy technology upgrades and adoptions, mobile access, compliance, security and business continuity.

“We are pleased that KCL Property continues to leverage Voyager as a dynamic platform whose functionality can be easily expanded with new modules. This flexibility helps the company meet new business requirements, achieve efficiency targets and grow its portfolio,” said Neal Gemassmer, Yardi vice president for Asia Pacific & Middle East.
