The company\u2019s strategy for growth is based on ownership of premier distribution facilities generally clustered near major transportation features in supply-constrained submarkets.<br><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uk-margin\">\n<h3 class=\"uk-margin-small\">The Challenge<\/h3>\n<p class=\"uk-text-bold uk-margin-remove\">Multiple Financial Systems<\/p>\n<p class=\"uk-margin-remove\">Previously, EastGroup completed various aspects of property management and accounting, such as job costing, construction management, fixed assets and budgeting, on different systems and databases. \u201cIt became harder and harder to sync it all together for reporting,\u201d recalled Brian Laird, Vice President of Information Technology for EastGroup. \u201cWe realized that having everything on one centralized platform would give real-time access and full drill-down capabilities to our entire staff.\u201d<br><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uk-margin\">\n<h3 class=\"uk-margin-small\">The Solution<\/h3>\n<p class=\"uk-text-bold uk-margin-remove\">Yardi Voyager<\/p>\n<p class=\"uk-margin-remove\">Seeking new efficiencies across its operations, EastGroup adopted Yardi Voyager commercial as its property management and accounting platform in 2009 and added solutions from the Yardi Commercial Suite to replace multiple disparate systems with a single connected solution.<br><br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uk-margin\">\n<h3 class=\"uk-margin-small\">The Story<\/h3>\n<p class=\"uk-text-bold uk-margin-remove\">Shorter Cycle Times, Paperless Processing<\/p>\n<p class=\"uk-margin-remove\">Consolidating multiple processes and systems into one platform helped EastGroup manage its business much more efficiently. \u201cFor example, we\u2019ve been able to utilize Yardi to further automate our monthly and quarterly close processes and improve efficiencies in reporting, which has reduced the time required to report quarterly earnings. Our reporting is also easier because we have reduced the need to manually key in data, which is a major time saver,\u201d Laird said.<br><br>EastGroup subsequently adopted other products that leverage Yardi Voyager\u2019s data integrity, workflows and automation. One of them is CommercialCafe, an online customer self-service platform. \u201cWe send rental statements and other customer correspondence via email and online through CommercialCafe. Our customers have the convenience of making payments online instead of writing and mailing checks,\u201d Laird said.<br><br>Another product, Yardi Advanced Budgeting &amp; Forecasting, streamlined EastGroup\u2019s budgeting process by automating projections based on existing customer lease data drawn from Yardi Voyager. EastGroup also gained additional efficiencies from Yardi PAYscan, an element of Yardi Procure to Pay whereby EastGroup scans invoices into electronic transactions and automates workflows across the approval process.<br><br>\u201cWe\u2019ve started trying to eliminate paper-intensive processes in favor of paperless options. Yardi&#8217;s solutions are an integral part of that effort. I&#8217;m very pleased we made the change to Voyager,\u201d Laird said.<br><br><\/p>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n            <div><\/div>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"cmw-hm-target uk-width-1-3@m uk-flex-first@m\" >\n\n                        <div class=\"uk-display-block uk-width-1-1 uk-padding-small uk-margin-remove\">\n                <div class=\"uk-width-2-3@l uk-align-right\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg\" alt=\"EastGroup Properties, Inc.  logo\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg 566w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg?resize=300,77 300w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg?w=400 400w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg?w=500 500w\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg 566w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg?resize=300,77 300w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg?w=400 400w, https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2019\/05\/EastGroupLogo.jpg?w=500 500w\">\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"uk-clearfix\"> <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"uk-clearfix\"> <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"uk-display-block uk-width-1-1 uk-padding-remove uk-height-1-1 uk-margin-remove uk-cover-container\">\n                <div class=\"uk-position-cover uk-background-image uk-background-repeat\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/cmw-client-success\/public\/images\/plus_dark_tileable.png);\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"uk-position-relative uk-margin-left\">\n                    <div class=\"sidebar-inner uk-width-2-3@l uk-float-right uk-margin-small-right\">\n                        <p class=\"uk-text-muted uk-margin\">Overview<\/p>\n\n                        <div class=\"uk-margin\">\n                            <p class=\"uk-text-emphasis uk-text-bold uk-margin-small\">Markets<\/p>\n                            <ul class=\"uk-list cmw-list-condensed uk-margin-remove \">\n                                                                    <li>Commercial<\/li>\n                                                                    <li>Office\/Industrial<\/li>\n                                                                                            <\/ul>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                    <div class=\"uk-margin\">\n                                <p class=\"uk-text-emphasis uk-text-bold uk-margin-remove\">Portfolio<\/p>\n                                <p class=\"uk-margin-remove\">40 million square feet of industrial space in 10 U.S. states<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                                            <div class=\"uk-margin\">\n                                <p class=\"uk-text-emphasis uk-text-bold uk-margin-remove\">Client Since<\/p>\n                                <p class=\"uk-margin-remove\">2009<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"uk-margin\">\n                            <p class=\"uk-text-emphasis uk-text-bold uk-margin-small\">Product Highlighted<\/p>\n                            <ul class=\"uk-list cmw-list-condensed uk-margin-remove \">\n                                                            <li><a href=\"\/products\/yardi-voyager-commercial\/\" target=\"_blank\" >Voyager Commercial<\/a><\/li>\n                                                        <\/ul>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"uk-margin\">\n                            <p class=\"uk-text-emphasis uk-text-bold uk-margin-small\">Additional Products<\/p>\n                            <ul class=\"uk-list cmw-list-condensed uk-margin-remove \">\n                                                            <li><a href=\"\/products\/commercialcafe\" target=\"_blank\" >CommercialCafe<\/a><\/li>\n                                                            <li><a href=\"\/products\/advanced-budgeting-and-forecasting\" target=\"_blank\" >Advanced Budgeting &#038;
