CREx Intelligence / Workflows

The work,
by role.

Twenty-five workflow designs for property managers, asset managers, portfolio managers and fund operations. Each runs on a daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly rhythm and answers one clear question.

Four groups

Start with the seat
you sit in.

01 Property manager workflows

The property-level work.
On dated reporting.

Collections, leasing, work orders and the month-end package. Each review starts from the reports your property managers already send, and every figure carries its source date.

Typical sources
Rent roll, AR aging, work orders and the month-end package
Cadence mix
2 daily, 2 weekly, 1 monthly and 1 quarterly

Daily · D2

Collections Exceptions

Which balances need a closer look today?

Review new balances, receipts and aging exceptions before preparing the day's follow-up list.

Daily · D3

Operations and Make-Ready Exceptions

What could delay today's property plan?

Review overdue work orders and make-ready milestones against the approved operating plan.

Weekly · W1

Leasing and Rent-Roll Review

Explore the design

Weekly · W2

Collections Trend and Follow-Up

Is collection performance improving week over week?

Explore the design

Monthly

Month-End Package Check

Did every manager deliver a complete package?

Check each manager's month-end package against the agreed list: financials, rent roll, AR aging and GL detail. Missing or late items go on a follow-up list with the manager's name beside them.

Quarterly

Lease Expiration and Renewal Plan

Which leases expire in the next 12 months, and what is the plan for each?

Review the expiration schedule by property beside the manager's renewal status. Leases with no recorded plan are listed first.

02 Asset manager workflows

One asset at a time.
Against the plan.

The morning brief, the monthly variance and the quarterly business plan for each property. Reviews put results beside the approved investment plan, and your team makes the call.

Typical sources
Closed financials, the investment plan, comp sets and the capital budget
Cadence mix
1 daily, 1 weekly, 3 monthly and 2 quarterly

Daily · D1

Morning Portfolio Review

What needs attention today?

Start the day with the property's material changes. Put dated exceptions beside the investment plan and choose the next question.

Monthly · M2

Comp Review

How does the property compare with the agreed market set?

Review the property's rent and operating position against a dated, approved comparable set.

Explore the design

Valuation Review

How has the indicated value changed, and which assumptions drive it?

Explore the design

03 Portfolio manager workflows

Across assets
and managers.

One set of definitions across every property and manager, so you can rank assets, compare managers and track debt and lease rollover across the portfolio.

Typical sources
Property snapshots, debt schedules, lease expirations and manager reporting
Cadence mix
1 daily, 1 weekly, 2 monthly and 2 quarterly

Daily

Portfolio Watchlist

Which assets crossed a threshold since yesterday?

Roll the daily exception queues from every property into one list, ranked by your materiality thresholds, with the source date beside each item.

Weekly

Weekly Portfolio Digest

What moved across the portfolio this week?

Summarize occupancy, leasing, collections and open items by property and by manager. Figures without a current source are marked, not estimated.

Monthly

Property Manager Scorecard

How does each manager compare on the same measures?

Compare managers on collections, leasing, work-order aging and reporting timeliness, with one set of definitions across Yardi, MRI, RealPage and Entrata.

Monthly · M1

Loan Review

What changed in debt coverage, covenants and upcoming obligations?

Review the loan against the closed month's approved financials, debt terms and lender requirements.

Explore the design

Quarterly

Lease Rollover and Concentration Review

How much rent rolls in the next 24 months, and how concentrated is it?

Review lease expirations and top-tenant exposure across the portfolio by year, property type and manager.

Quarterly · Q3

Hold, Sell or Refinance Review

Which strategic path deserves further underwriting?

Prepare a structured review of agreed alternatives using the property's plan and approved assumptions.

04 Fund ops workflows

From the close
to the investor pack.

Daily feed checks, the month-end close across managers and the quarter's investor reporting inputs. Data is checked before anyone relies on it.

Typical sources
Daily feeds, trial balances, chart-of-accounts mapping and approvals
Cadence mix
1 daily, 2 weekly, 1 monthly and 2 quarterly

Daily

Feed and Freshness Check

Which manager feeds arrived, and which are late or incomplete?

Check each daily feed against its expected arrival time and record counts. Late or partial feeds are flagged before anyone builds on them.

Read the guide

Weekly

Data Exception Queue

Which records failed a check this week?

Work the week's exceptions: unmapped GL accounts, rent-roll units that don't tie to the ledger and duplicate tenant records. Each item has an owner and a status.

Weekly

Approval Routing

What is waiting on a sign-off, and on whom?

Route reports and adjustments to the right approver, with each item's age and current approver in one queue.

Monthly

Month-End Close Package

Is every property's close complete and tied out?

Assemble the close package across managers: trial balance, statements, rent roll and AR tie-outs, with your chart-of-accounts mapping applied and open items listed.

Quarterly

Investor Reporting Inputs

What goes into this quarter's investor letter?

Gather accepted quarter-end figures, property commentary and variance notes into the inputs for investor letters and reports. Your team writes and approves the final version.

Read the guide

Quarterly

NCREIF-Aligned Quarterly Data

Is the quarter's property data prepared on NCREIF definitions?

Prepare quarterly property-level data aligned to NCREIF definitions, ready for your team's submission review.

Five starting stories

Start with the work
you recognize.

These five stories explain the offer. The catalog above is the product-design plan; neither is a claim that every workflow is released.

Known dependencies

What needs to be ready
before the review?

This matrix covers the twelve starting designs that have their own design pages. OS contains the property identity, agreed source packs, dates, financial definitions and review context. Core is separate Consulting. Source availability and reviewer acceptance remain to confirm.

Designed for review

Missing is a state.
Not a number to invent.

Every design names its required inputs, upstream dependencies, partial or blocked behavior and human decision. A planned weekly review is not evidence of weekly source refresh or scheduled automation.

Workflow availability, source coverage and review responsibilities are confirmed with your team before a pilot is agreed.
