Leading property software platform will enable GLA Management’s 5 million square feet expansion into multiple real estate offerings
KUWAIT CITY, July 14, 2016 – GLA Management, the real estate management branch of the Tamdeen Group, will adopt Yardi Voyager® 7S, a mobile, cloud-based system, as its new lease and property management platform, along with products from the Yardi Commercial Suite™.
GLA Management will implement Yardi Voyager to manage the property and financial aspects of its five retail malls and other real estate assets in Kuwait.
The company will also implement Yardi Commercial LeasingPad™, which combines contact and prospect management with portfolio analytics and business intelligence; Yardi Fixed Assets™, which will enable GLA Management to record and monitor multiple asset types together with depreciation; Yardi Inventory Control™, which will give GLA Management complete physical and financial control over inventory across multiple locations; and Yardi Inspection™, which will help GLA Management monitor the fit out process, with the option to enter data into Yardi Voyager from smartphones or tablets.
“We anticipate that standardising our retail mall operations on Voyager will enable closer, more accurate oversight of a portfolio valued at more than US$1.2 billion. It will also help us inculcate better standards across the board and increase the level of services that we can provide our clients,” commented Chetan Kothari, Chief Financial Officer, GLA Management.
“As our first client based in Kuwait, GLA Management represents a significant milestone for Yardi. The selection further demonstrates that Voyager is fast becoming the preferred platform for retail property operators in the Middle East,” said Neal Gemassmer, vice president of international for Yardi.
