Real Estate & Development

Developers face challenges, from selecting a suitable site, through complex permitting procedures and management of the construction itself, to securing customers, property management, and appropriate investment appreciation.

A successful real estate developer needs to coordinate several activities from the concept phase, through land development, financing, and construction to the sale or lease and property management. Our modular suite of applications for developers  SQUARE4 will help you get rid of cluttered Excel spreadsheets, eliminate human errors, and make your operations seamless.

Do you carry out complex projects, including construction, in multiple countries? Do you need integration into other systems, supplier relationship management, finance, or development projects? We will design a tailored solution using Microsoft 365 Finance and Operations, Business Central or Power Platform technologies. 

Do you specialize in selected parts of the process such as land development or asset management? Do you tend to handle construction with a general (external) contractor? Choose stand-alone modules from our real estate suite to cover the processes that occupy you the most. The modules can be freely combined.

For the functional areas of our solution see below.
