Web-Based Budgeting and Reforecasting


Relying on desktop applications like Excel for budgeting increases the risk of formulaic errors and inconsistent budgets while producing unleveragable, difficult-to-access data.
Budgeting done right requires input from numerous disciplines and sharing of results both inside and outside of an organization.

Why Accounting Systems can't Budget


Using property accounting systems for budgeting requires nonaccountants to navigate through the complexities of the system to enter revenue, expense and capital assumptions.

As a web-based SaaS solution, REALOGlC BUDGET ensures that your data is available anytime/anywhere.

Enter and edit budget data from any location into one database using preassigned standards. Share budget results with others; even those not involved in the preparation of the budget or reforecast.

Benefits of
Ease of Use
REALOGlC BUDGET strikes a perfect balance between simplicity for the infrequent user (i.e., brokers entering lease-up assumptions) & sophistication for the power user who spends a great deal of time preparing budgets and reforecasts. Spreadsheet-style navigation within a browser provides a familiar interface for most users. Seeing only the areas of the budget for which a user is responsible minimizes training and implementation time. The ability to use budget templates and to start with prior period budgets or actuals simplifies the entire budget process.

Economical
As a software as a service (i.e. SaaS) application, REALOGlC BUDGET results in a lower cost of ownership. The annual subscription fee (a fraction of a cent per square foot) provides unlimited users access to the many features of the software. As a hosted application, hardware investment and database software are gone and upgrades are integrated seamlessly. Additionally, you can expect implementation to be completed within weeks rather than months.

Accessible & Efficient


Being web based, your budgets are available anytime and anywhere that there is an internet connection. Multiple users can simultaneously budget from multiple locations into one budget file, seeing only the areas of the budget for which they are responsible.

Standardized Budgeting
Standards assigned at both an organizational and project level, including the use of budget templates, assure that there is a consistency to the finished product and best practices are enforced throughout a portfolio. Definition of market variables at the enterprise level also assists in the creation of standardized budgets.

Intuitive Rent Roll


REALOGlC BUDGETs unique color-coded rent roll makes it simple for all users to see and understand what tenant data is contractual, what has changed and what still needs to be addressed. Grey rows indicate contractual data uploaded from the accounting or lease administration system. Yellow rows indicate contractual data overwritten (early termination). Red rows indicate contractual tenants rolling over within the budget period for which an assumption is necessary. White rows indicate assumptive (i.e., speculative) data.

REALOGlC BUDGET also supports the export of completed budgets back into your accounting system.

ARGUS Integration

The ARGUS export is both robust and easy to use. Not only is rent roll and expense data exported, but recovery and market data as well, resulting in more timely and consistent ARGUS files with less chance for human error.

Custom Financial Reports


Formatted reports make inclusion in your presentation books fast and easy. PDF and Excel reports such as the Executive Summary, Rent Roll, Expiration Report, Cash Flow Schedule and many others are just a mouse click away.

Multi-Client/Multi-Ledger
Sharing budgets with third parties (JV partner, owner, etc.) can be problematic if they use a different general ledger structure. With REALOGlC BUDGET, map the budget G/L to any format and report on the new G/L.
