About City Property
City Property is a residential and commercial property management company. The properties are diverse in nature, ranging from traditional shopping malls, convenience shopping centres, industrial workshops, warehouses, offices and retail shops to residential flats.
The company is headquartered in Pretoria with a supporting office in Johannesburg. Major clients include two listed property investment companies (Premium Properties and Octodec Investments) and a number of private clients.
The Requirement
Access to near real-time data is critical to any finance-based organisation. Decision Inc. needed to connect to the organisational data of City Property and provide a solution that would eliminate its need to manually capture information.
- The existing process relied on a manually driven and highly complex spreadsheet system
- It was very time-consuming: it took 3 people 2 weeks to generate the required reports
- Manual capture made the process prone to human error
- The spreadsheets were integral to determining arrears outstanding, so report turnaround was critical to operations
“We had already selected QlikView as our analytics platform and needed a partner with solid QlikView experience to assist us. Decision Inc. was a logical choice as they have a long pedigree in working with the software.”
