UAE-based Al Ghandi Real Estate has selected Yardi Voyager 7S, a new mobile, cloud-based property management and accounting platform from Yardi, to manage its real estate portfolio in the emirates, which includes over 2 million sq ft of commercial space and more than 1,000 residential units.

Al Ghandi said it will perform several business operations with additional solutions that are built into Yardi Voyager.

One new solution, Yardi Advanced Budgeting & Forecasting, will automate the company’s budgeting, forecasting, valuations and modelling processes with tenant lease data from Yardi Voyager.

As per the deal, Al Ghandi Real Estate will schedule, track and manage all facilities maintenance from a desktop or mobile device with Yardi Advanced Maintenance.

The company will use Yardi Inspection to schedule and track unit inspections during the move-in and move-out phases, it added.

“The Voyager single stack concept provides us with a great deal of flexibility,” remarked Abdul Rasheed, the director of leasing and IT for Al Ghandi Real Estate.

“The ability to be able to easily select and implement additional functionality that is specific to our own business needs is very important to us,” he noted.

"Our integrated, single stack approach allows companies like Al Ghandi Real Estate to easily innovate select elements of their real estate processes," said Neal Gemassmer, vice president, international, for Yardi.

“This allows focus on what’s most important to helping achieve specific goals across the multiple real estate markets they serve,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
