Most teams using Yardi are only scratching the surface of what the platform can do. Default reports get the job done—for a while. But as portfolios grow and investor expectations rise, basic just isn’t good enough.
We’ve worked with dozens of organizations who came to us with a familiar story:
“We’re exporting to Excel, manipulating data by hand, and still not getting the insights we need.”
That’s not a reporting issue. That’s a strategy bottleneck.
Here are five ways we’ve seen custom Yardi reporting shift teams from reactive to strategic—delivering clarity, speed, and control where it matters most.
-
Investor-Ready Reports—Without the Spreadsheet Scramble
Investors and lenders don’t just want numbers—they want numbers their way. Whether it’s IRR calculations, cash-on-cash visuals, or monthly performance waterfalls, they’re expecting fast, accurate delivery. Custom reporting allows you to bypass time-consuming spreadsheet gymnastics and generate ready-to-share outputs directly from Yardi—on time, every time.
-
Reporting That Mirrors Your Portfolio Complexity
Have multiple asset types? JV structures? Funds with different accounting methods? Standard Yardi reports weren’t designed for your nuance. We build reporting layers that reflect the real-world complexity of your holdings—without forcing you into a reporting framework that doesn’t fit.
-
Executive Dashboards That Actually Drive Decisions
Most executives don’t want raw data—they want smart visuals, trend lines, and decision-ready context. We create custom dashboards within Yardi that show leaders what matters now, not three reports deep.
-
Operational Workflows on Autopilot
If your teams are still reconciling reports manually, merging tabs, or hunting for exceptions in endless rows—you’re losing valuable hours. Custom reports can
automate all of it. Exception reports, variance triggers, scheduled delivery—all built directly into Yardi, tailored to your day-to-day.
-
A Single Source of Truth for Every Team
Accounting, asset management, operations—they all need the same data, but not in the same format. We build reports that serve each stakeholder’s lens while drawing from the same, accurate source. That means no more conflicting versions or last-minute data reconciliations before investor meetings.
Do You Need Custom Reports? Not Always. But When You Do…
We’ll be the first to say it—custom reporting isn’t the answer for everyone. Yardi comes with a solid suite of standard reports that work well for many users, especially when the business is still relatively straightforward.
When someone approaches us asking for custom reports, we don’t jump straight into development mode. We start by understanding the actual need. In some cases, the solution is simpler than you think—maybe it’s just merging two reports, adjusting filters, or leveraging a built-in tool you didn’t know existed.
But when custom reporting is the right move, that’s when things get interesting.
We partner closely with you to scope, build, and refine reporting tools that are aligned with how your business operates—not how the default template thinks you should operate. Sometimes it’s a quick modification to an existing report. Sometimes it’s a clean-slate design. Either way, it’s built to save you time, reduce friction, and help your team make smarter calls faster.
