- Some of the accounting challenges we had before we had Breeze Premier was really around traceability. So I brought on Yardi Breeze Premier after doing some research to alternatives, and pretty much today it is central to everything we do on operations. (light upbeat music) (bell dings) My name's Mirko Crevatin, and I'm the President of Lafford Property Management based in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Our organization is both development and operations. A lot of the stuff was tracked in spreadsheets or in notebooks. We were running another accounting package, but everything was operating at a very high level. Within Yardi, I'm able to pull the reports and get dashboard-level information to drill down where these issues occur and things that honestly may not even been picked up with our manual processes. Now we see it, we understand it. I can very quickly diagnose what happened. So having an all-in-one package such as Yardi Breeze was an important consideration when I was choosing a property management solution. For me, being able to drill through a tenant, a property, a region and go directly to a GL account and see what's going on in there and see the invoice is a huge, huge benefit. I don't have to worry that the transactions are correct. I know they're correct. And I don't have to dig through filing cabinets or emails to try to find how we got to a certain number. It's all right there. I think right now what we're finding is some of the features within RentCafe. That aspect, tying into our CRM functionality, has been very helpful as we continue to grow. 'Cause we grow about 25, 30% a year organically. Just about none of our competitors are doing that in our space, which, in my opinion, gives us a big leg up. It's a big game changer for us. We were not able to do this before. (bell dings)
