Voyager 8 for CRE: Fast closes, tight control & smart reporting

By Michael Everts on November 10, 2025 in Technology

Commercial real estate teams manage key financials, tight timelines for reporting and complex workflows to complete approvals. At YASC this year, we showed how Voyager 8 delivers smarter tools to save time and reduce risk for month-end close, approvals, journal entries, compliance, collections, tenant health checks and reporting. It’s a modern ERP that helps CRE teams move faster, stay aligned and make better decisions.

Month-end made manageable

Closing the books shouldn’t feel like a scramble. Voyager 8’s Period Close Dashboard brings order and confidence to the process. Tasks, owners, due dates, dependencies and status updates live in one place. Reports are generated automatically, and controllers get a real-time view of what’s complete, what’s pending and who’s responsible. No more scattered checklists. With Voyager 8, it’s a clean, auditable process.

Workflows that actually work for you

Manual handoffs and file exchanges from disconnected systems slow teams down. Voyager 8 expands workflows to cover more of the information that used to live in email including unit changes, customer approvals, charge reviews and more. Assignable activities stay tied to the relevant records, so accountability moves with each task. Everyone sees the same steps and works on the same page. Governance across your business improves with deep visibility and work moves along faster.

Journal entries accelerated

Accounting teams will notice the upgrade to their world in Voyager 8 right away. Large journal entries post without timing out. You can copy and paste rows from Excel directly into the JE form, which means no rekeying or errors. If you need a second review or reversal, simply attach an activity to the entry and keep the conversation on the record for an easy audit trail. It’s a speed boost that adds up to plenty of time saved over the month.

Compliance you can count on

The important task of tenant insurance tracking moves out of spreadsheets and into a single dashboard. The Tenant Compliance Dashboard shows policy status, expirations and request progress at a glance. Tenants upload COIs through CommercialCafe and you can layer in TenantShield to outsource verification. No more chasing documents or worrying about lapsed policies.

Collections that drive results

Collections teams get real-time AR visibility with Voyager 8. The dashboard breaks down delinquency by status, legal stage, charge code and aging. Assign outreach, track collection attempts and capture outcomes without leaving the screen. Cash flow improves because every person on your AR team knows the next best step, and it’s clearly documented.

See tenant risk before it hits

The Tenant Risk view brings together expiring revenue, AR aging, recent charges and receipts, abatements and deferrals. You get a clear picture of tenant health and can spin off follow-up activities to leasing or property management teams. Smart, consistent decisions happen faster because everyone sees the same risk story and responds strategically.

Reporting that works for everyone

Voyager 8 reporting is flexible and intuitive. Drag, group and filter reports to match your query, then save and share views across teams. The new Report Builder lets you pull fields, add filters, pivot and schedule delivery with no coding required. You can even ask AI questions about your reports to speed up interpretation and follow-ups.

Solutions that shape your strategy

Voyager 8 turns recurring pain points for your CRE organization into reliable processes. Month-end becomes guided and transparent. Approvals expand without friction. Journal entries move faster. Compliance and collections gain clearer signals. Tenant risk becomes visible before it has an impact. Plus, reporting delivers answers in the formats teams use and prefer.

Voyager 8 helps you optimize day-to-day processes that help you run efficiently and make smart decisions that help you thrive.
