Trigger Logic: Unlocking Efficiency

Trigger logic is a powerful tool that can revolutionize how commercial real estate professionals operate. In the fast-paced world of commercial real estate, an efficient workflow is key to success. With multiple properties, complex transactions, and diverse stakeholders, optimizing workflows is critical for staying ahead of the competition.

Trigger logic applies to rules or conditions that trigger actions or events within a project management software. These triggers reduce human error by automating processes, generating notifications, or beginning specific workflows.

By leveraging trigger logic within ManagePath, businesses can streamline their workflows, automate tasks, and unlock a new level of efficiency. In this blog post, we will explore how it can help you transform CRE operations and drive success.

Understanding Trigger Logic in Commercial Real Estate

Trigger logic uses conditional statements or rules to automate specific actions based on predefined criteria or events. Customized triggers respond to various scenarios, allowing for the automation of routine tasks and the reduction of manual effort.

Streamlining Workflows with Trigger Logic in ManagePath

Fischer Solutions’ ManagePath uses trigger logic to help you measure workflow efficiency and streamline business processes. Our automation tools cut down on wasted time and inefficient workflows to provide the desired outcome in the long run. Here are a few ways you can streamline your existing workflows with ManagePath.

1.     Lease and Contract Management

Managing leases and contracts is a critical aspect of commercial real estate operations. Trigger logic can streamline this process by automating key actions such as

  • lease expiration notifications
  • rent escalations
  • contract renewals

By setting up triggers based on specified timelines or conditions, ManagePath can automatically generate alerts, reminders, and necessary documents. This reduces manual tracking efforts and mitigates the risk of contract-related issues.

2.     Automated Pipeline Generation and Project Kick-off

The goal of pipeline generation is to ensure that you have a steady stream of projects. Implementing trigger logic into your workflow processes aligns your strategic goals with the project kick-off.

Once you have generated a pipeline of projects, you need to manage it effectively. This involves tracking the progress of each project and taking the necessary steps to move them through the project management process.

Predefined logic can trigger the generation of new Projects to build the “Planned” portion of the Client Project Pipeline. You can apply this logic to:

  • Lease Expiration Dates
  • Lease Renewal Options
  • Lease Termination Options

ManagePath’s Project Templates fit the Project need based on the type of location and size of location.

As trigger logic applies, ManagePath notifies Project Managers of:

  1. new Projects in the Pipeline for Due Diligence Review
  2. trigger forms to be completed for Project Scope

By taking the time to properly plan and execute work processes, you ensure that everyone is on the same page.

3.     Workflow Integration and Collaboration

Commercial real estate transactions often involve multiple stakeholders, including brokers, lawyers, lenders, and property managers. Trigger logic enables seamless integration and collaboration among these parties. For example, after a finalized deal, automation:

  • notifies relevant stakeholders
  • triggers document sharing
  • initiates necessary approvals

This ensures smooth communication, reduces delays, and enhances overall deal efficiency.

4.     Task Automation for Property Management

Property management involves a wide range of tasks. Tasks are automated based on predefined conditions or events to streamline processes and workflows.

For instance, when someone submits a maintenance request, trigger logic automatically identifies the work process to:

  1. assign the task to the appropriate team member
  2. notify the tenant of the status
  3. generate work orders.

This automation streamlines property management processes, improves response times, and enhances tenant satisfaction.

5.     Performance Tracking and Reporting

Monitoring the performance of commercial real estate assets is crucial for making informed decisions. Trigger logic can automate data tracking and reporting, providing real-time insights into key performance indicators (KPIs).

For example, ManagePath generates reports on lease expirations on a monthly or quarterly basis. This will improve your workflow efficiency which allows professionals to make data-driven decisions and identify areas for improvement.

Conclusion

Efficiency, productivity, and time spent on a project help measure success in the competitive landscape of CRE project management. Trigger logic offers a powerful solution for streamlining workflows and optimizing operations within ManagePath. This not only saves time and reduces manual effort but also improves accuracy, responsiveness, and overall profitability.
