Granite Properties is a leading commercial real estate investment, development, and management company that takes a unique approach to tenant management. The firm has made the deliberate decision to treat tenants as customers by proactively investing in these relationships and focusing on the experience in their properties. Granite does this by partnering with their customers to gain an in-depth understanding of their business needs.

Granite realized a need for a customer relationship management technology when two senior leasing people retired, taking with them 20 years worth of institutional knowledge about the company’s relationships. In VTS, Granite has found a platform to manage all customer relationships, streamline leasing management, and much more.

Challenges & Roadblocks

Why Granite Properties needed to transform its approach to customer relationship management and leasing

Improve customer relationships

Enhance the leasing process

Granite wanted real-time insight to enable the team to act more quickly on time-sensitive deals and speed up the leasing process.

Increase portfolio
visibility

Granite wanted an organized way to manage leasing activity so the entire team could stay up to date about portfolio performance.

SOLUTION

Transforming the customer relationship management and leasing process at Granite Properties

Stronger customer relationships

By managing all customer relationships, including updates and interactions, with VTS TRM, Granite Properties is now able to leverage critical insights to retain high-value customers, accelerate new leasing deals, and mitigate against risk. So far, over 80 customers have updated profiles from more than 30 employees.

Accelerated transaction speed

The team at Granite now receives deal updates from brokers as they happen and has full visibility into deal history. This real-time information allows the team to respond to opportunities faster, accelerating overall deal transaction speeds. After just six months on VTS, the team has already reduced the time to convert a lead to an executed lease by 14% and they’re just getting started.

Real-time portfolio visibility

VTS ensures that the Granite team is always working from up-to-date, accurate information. Granite’s Executive team also has real-time visibility into portfolio-wide activity at their fingertips.
