Building Engines Integrates with Yardi Voyager through Gelbgroup

Boston—Building Engines, global provider of comprehensive web-based and mobile real estate operations management solutions, announced its web-service integration with Yardi Voyager through new partner Gelbgroup Consulting, Inc., a Yardi certified integrator. The advanced integration allows system users to automatically “push” accurate charges (e.g. overtime HVAC bills) directly from Building Engines to their accounting system without delay, rather than sending periodic batches of information between the two systems.

The diversity and complexity of disparate computing platforms has always presented challenges to end-users who are often forced to settle for single platforms that are excellent at one discipline—e.g. accounting—and average at related, but no-less-important, functions. Ideally, enterprise system users could take advantage of multiple best-of-breed platforms with a universal login, leveraging the top technologies from different vendors in as a single functional ecosystem.

With the new, direct integration, users will have a seamless connection between Yardi and Building Engines for an uninterrupted operations management environment. Users will no longer suffer the tangle of numerous technologies, protocols, and applications. Web-services integrations are light speed application-to-application communications that do not require data batching or other unreliable and time consuming steps. They are swift, direct and reliable. With Building Engines’ new web-service integration with Yardi through Gelbgroup, Building Engines users can:

• Automatically transfer billable charges from their Building Engines Operations Management System to their Yardi Voyager accounting system, quickly and seamlessly.
• Achieve seamless integration for residents, vendors and charges.
• Eliminate error and delay from batch-driven double entry.
• Enable the accounting department to manage a system of record for tenant and vendor companies’ charge codes.
• Task the right people to work on the right data.

The integration requires minimal setup and discovery to put into action. Gelbgroup will work with Building Engines’ open platform to integrate with the standard accounting software service functions, or to create customized solutions in response to unique client needs. The Gelbgroup/Building Engines partnership ensures that customers get the greatest possible value from their market-leading accounting software system and Building Engines’ best-in-class property and tenant management system.
