Accruent Deal Manager Takes
the Guesswork Out of Site Selection

As everyone knows, in retail there are three keys to success: location, location, location. But the task of finding and securing the right outlets is becoming increasingly competitive in the age of computer-assisted site location tools. The field clearly favors those who have the right technology at their disposal -- tools that provide clear visibility into markets, geographies, competitor locations, space requirements, and total occupancy costs.
        Deal Manager is a key component of cmRealEstate, Accruent's Web-based end-to-end real estate management solution. It aggregates and formats all the data brokers or leasing representatives need to take command of the deal-making process.
        The system lets you manage all relevant information on prospective sites in one centralized repository. Business-critical information drawn from multiple sources is automatically analyzed and displayed on a dashboard customized to your requirements.
        With Deal Manager, your brokers or leasing representatives have instant access to key information, so they can make crucial go/no-go decisions well ahead of your competitors. Because the system is Web-based, brokers don't have to return to the office to get data or act on opportunities. Running Deal Manager on their laptops, brokers and managers can view the same site data, photos and maps as they rapidly power through multiple deals.
        Deal Manager provides pertinent third-party data on-the-fly for each site. Data from past deals and prospective sites can be reused when analyzing another site submitted by the same broker or belonging to the same landlord. And the system can produce graphical reports covering competitor locations, preferred co-tenants, and demographic data.
        In addition to deal making, Deal Manager manages the entire store lifecycle by providing reporting capabilities for any site or market, and ad-hoc reports can be created by any user. This keeps all stakeholders informed about key changes in project status, as well as trends across the entire portfolio of sites.
        Deal Manager gives you clear competitive advantage:

        • Identifies optimum markets and competitor locations
        • Assesses space requirements and total occupancy costs
        • Tracks timelines and alerts key decision makers
        • Empowers your brokers to negotiate the most favorable terms
        • Supports collaboration among deal makers and managers

        • Fast access to data on locations, square footage and rent
        • Aggregates data for sophisticated qualitative analysis
        • Allows you to turn the site acquisition into a strategic tool
        • Provides critical data for sales forecasting.
