SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., Dec. 14, 2010 – Commercial real estate developer Pyramid Management Group Inc. has selected Yardi Voyager™ as its property management and accounting platform.
Pyramid previously used several financial and operational accounting systems. The company is seeking to operate more efficiently by adopting a new commercial real estate management platform that converges all accounting, billing, escalation, percentage rent processing and budgeting and forecasting functions.
“Over the next year we plan to find efficiencies and new ways of streamlining business processes. A key step involves eliminating multiple business application platforms by introducing Yardi Voyager and Yardi Budgeting and Forecasting to our back office operations,” said Tim Kelley, president of Pyramid Management Group. “We also have the option to add products from the Yardi Commercial Suite™ that could eventually automate many front office business functions within Voyager, including customer relationship management and online leasing.”
Pyramid will rely on Yardi’s Professional Services Group for full-service implementation of Yardi Voyager. “Yardi PSG looks forward to working with Pyramid to understand their business processes. Our goal is to help them engineer the system so they maximize its potential,” said Fritz Schindelbeck, vice president of professional services for Yardi.
“As a leader in retail development and management, Pyramid will need a system that can scale as their business grows. We are pleased that Pyramid can standardize their operations on a platform that will help them operate more efficiently across their entire organization,” said Terri Dowen, senior vice president of sales for Yardi.
