It’s a complex term for a common problem in commercial real estate: when your team is using multiple disconnected, single-purpose software systems to manage different aspects of your portfolio. Accounting, property management, tenant management, and more are spread out. This forces your team to manually shift data between platforms and constantly cross-check information to perform even simple tasks. In the process, you lose time, accuracy, and even money.
Here, we’ll dive deep into the hidden costs of system fragmentation in commercial real estate. Then, we’ll explore how you can escape it to unlock your full business potential.
How System Fragmentation is Costing Your Commercial Real Estate Portfolio
It’s not just time wasted on busywork. System fragmentation may be harming your business in less obvious ways.
When your data is scattered across multiple systems, you lose the high-level visibility necessary to notice patterns and catch errors. You’re left vulnerable to damage caused by preventable mistakes. You may not even have enough information to make smart decisions for the future. In critical situations, you may struggle to respond quickly without full oversight and coordination.
On top of that, multiple systems make it next to impossible to standardize workflows and best practices. Employees may develop personal workaround strategies to get around the inconvenience of hopping between platforms. This makes it difficult to collaborate and establish the consistency necessary for efficient, accurate work.
