Solon, Ohio – September 27, 2022MRI Software, a global leader in real estate technology, announced that it has appointed Marina Avisar as General Manager, Facilities Management for North America and Managing Director of Canada. The new leadership role is key to MRI’s strategic expansion in the Canadian market.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Marina to the MRI leadership team,” said John Ensign, President and Executive Managing Director of North America for MRI Software. “This is an exciting time for our company, particularly in Canada, as we’ve continued to grow our footprint, product portfolio and employee base to enable our clients to thrive in a competitive market. Marina’s extensive leadership background and track record of delivering tangible results will be instrumental to ensuring a future of sustainable growth and client success in the region.”

Avisar, who is based in Toronto, brings over 20 years of successful leadership experience in technology companies, with progressive roles across multiple disciplines, including engineering, sales, operations and product management.

MRI Software Completes Acquisition of PropertySuite

NZ real estate pioneers endorse PropertySuite innovation and business value

Auckland, NEW ZEALAND – 19 July 2022MRI Software is pleased to announce the acquisition of New Zealand-based PropertySuite is now complete. As an MRI Software company, PropertySuite continues operations in New Zealand and Australia where its easily integrated real estate management platform is expected to be of strong interest to existing MRI residential, commercial, rural and project marketing customers.

Michael Graves, co-founder of Auckland-based PropertySuite, says, “Along with our customers we could not be more excited about this next step in our journey. Every client relationship we have nurtured over the last twenty years continues to be important to us. Existing customers of both MRI and PropertySuite will benefit from enhanced product development and innovation, augmented client training and support, and easy access to an expanded integration ecosystem as part of the MRI Software suite of solutions.”

PropertySuite is well-known and respected as an innovative, cloud-based PropTech solution that integrates relationship management, print and digital media and marketing management, and transaction and financial management into one cloud-based platform for real estate agencies. It solves many challenges common among modern real estate agencies in New Zealand and Australia such as consolidating disparate systems, reducing duplicative efforts, and automating manual processes.

NZ agency leaders respond to acquisition news

The New Zealand real estate industry responded positively to news of MRI’s intent to acquire the PropTech innovator after it was first announced last month, as the following comments from across residential, commercial, and agri-business leaders attest:

The Professionals in Palmerston North’s Principal and Director Steve Williams says, “There is no other system like PropertySuite in the New Zealand market. Its huge strength is how flexible and adaptable it is. For a business like ours, PropertySuite provides operational and cost efficiencies together with an in-depth understanding and control of our business in real time. We enjoy our partnership-like relationship with PropertySuite as they listen to our suggestions and deliver accordingly, and we are very supportive of this move to join forces with a company as impressive as MRI Software. We look forward to a great future of enhanced innovation and success because of MRI’s involvement and a further strengthening of our partnership.”

McDonald Real Estate Managing Director Daniel McDonald says, “I am the fourth generation of my family to work with McDonald Real Estate who have been serving the Taranaki community for more than 100 years. Nine years ago, we realised we needed to take our business to the next level. We chose the PropertySuite solution and team as the primary enabler of that transformation, and we are extremely satisfied with the achievements of our partnership to date. MRI Software has spotted great technology and talent in acquiring PropertySuite. It is more than just a CRM (Customer Relationship Management), PropertySuite is a company-wide system that means we have reached efficiencies and effectiveness beyond our dreams, and we look forward to working with them well into the future.”

Property Brokers’ Managing Director Guy Mordaunt says, “Property Brokers has been a partner of PropertySuite for the last ten years and are excited to see the company grow through the acquisition by MRI Software. Mike and the PropertySuite team have been a big part of our growth over the last decade and have facilitated a lot of our strategy. They understand our business and have worked hard to meet the specific needs and challenges facing our market and business. We are excited to see how MRI can add even more value to this special relationship.”

Rural specialist PGG Wrightson Real Estate’s Operations Manager Raewyn Miller says, “It is critical to PGG Wrightson Real Estate that any technology partner truly understands the specific needs of an agri-business. PropertySuite meets that requirement and so much more having rural, lifestyle and residential real estate peculiarities of provincial New Zealand baked into its software with the bonus of being able to further tailor the application to meet our specific business needs. I have every confidence in recommending PropertySuite from MRI Software to any rural lifestyle specialist if it is not in our communities because it gives us such a competitive edge.”

Such a range of positive responses from a diverse customer group shows how highly regarded and adaptable PropertySuite is across residential, rural, commercial and project marketing environments, says David Bowie, Managing Director and Senior Vice President (Asia Pacific) for MRI Software.

“MRI has been a pioneer in real estate software for over 50 years, laser-focused on innovation and enabling transformation of the real estate industry with great technology, like PropertySuite. As of today, we officially welcome their 4,000 customers into the MRI ecosystem, and we look forward to sharing the easily integrated innovation of PropertySuite with our existing MRI customers too,” says Bowie.

MRI has acquired two other New Zealand-based PropTech innovators since March 2021: Palace and WhosOnLocation (now called MRI OnLocation), leading providers of New Zealand property management and global workplace management solutions, respectively. PropertySuite already integrates with Palace so existing clients of both will immediately benefit.

MRI Software to acquire New Zealand-based PropertySuite

Adding feature-rich sales CRM to its suite of PropTech solutions

Auckland, NEW ZEALAND – 16 June 2022 – Global PropTech leader, MRI Software, has entered into an agreement to acquire New Zealand-based PropertySuite, an innovative, cloud-based PropTech solution that integrates relationship management, print and digital media and marketing management, and transaction and financial management into one platform for real estate agencies.

Nearly two decades since its founding, PropertySuite’s single, comprehensive platform is now used by more than 4,000 residential, commercial, rural and project marketing real estate professionals across Australasia to consolidate disparate systems, reduce duplicative efforts, and automate manual processes. The company’s long cultivated client base includes some of New Zealand’s largest and most well-established agencies.

David Bowie, Managing Director and Senior Vice President (Asia Pacific) for MRI Software says the intent to acquire PropertySuite highlights MRI’s driving dedication to making life easier for modern real estate agencies grappling with extraordinary change.

“There’s definite demand from real estate agencies in this region to digitise and take advantage of the promises of web-enabled automation. The beauty of PropertySuite is it was designed and built specifically for the New Zealand market, so it has a long legacy of delivering the value clients in this market expect.

“Our goal is to offer powerful, easy-to-use tools that agencies of any size, sector, or location – be it city or rural – can access to unlock growth. The innovation embedded within PropertySuite is world-class, particularly its media publishing, marketing tools, and full website design solutions. It’s remarkably easy to use, mobile friendly, and intuitive, which our clients will love,” Bowie said.

Michael Graves, Managing Director for PropertySuite says, “MRI’s open and connected ecosystem resonates deeply with our own philosophy. In fact, PropertySuite already integrates with more than 250 third-party solutions, helping deliver increased scalability, operational simplicity and ease-of-use for agencies. Our industry-specific solutions and market strength will only be enhanced with MRI’s 50 years’ experience in real estate software and innovation. It’s an absolute coup for our clients and team to have this opportunity to join our best-in-class solutions with MRI’s global development, customer service and support resources to accelerate our product innovation throughout the region.”

MRI also acquired Palace and WhosOnLocation, leading providers of New Zealand property management and workplace management solutions respectively, in March of last year. Today’s announcement further demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering tailored solutions and increasing value for clients of all sizes in the growing market.

Palace and PropertySuite clients will immediately benefit from the existing integration. The acquisition is expected to be finalised later this month.

FSI Becomes MRI Software to Bring Together the Best of Facilities Management and Workplace Solutions

Concept Evolution, FSI’s premier cloud-based FM software, continues to serve the market as MRI Evolution

London – June 15, 2022FSI, a UK-based provider of enterprise-class facilities management (FM) software, is now officially operating under the MRI Software brand to reflect the enhanced and extended solution set of the merged companies. MRI Software, a global leader in real estate solutions, acquired FSI in August 2021, and FSI’s widely used Concept Evolution software will be known as MRI Evolution moving forward. The combined team now provides an expanded FM offering, enabling real estate owners, operators and occupiers to improve building sustainability, data visibility, mobile connectivity, and tenant satisfaction as part of a comprehensive building and workplace management strategy.

“Integrating FSI with MRI Software strengthens both organisations’ ability to support FM teams across a range of industry sectors by delivering an enhanced, scalable technology platform to manage and maintain facilities effectively,” says James Massey, Managing Director of Facilities Management for MRI Software. “The addition of FSI’s cloud-based FM software has augmented MRI’s overall solution portfolio – particularly our extensible Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS). Together, the combined offerings further improve the company’s ability to better serve landlords, contractors and tenants, creating a single experience and better usability across all applications.”

Adding the FSI team’s expertise and solutions in computer aided facilities management (CAFM), mobile workforce enablement and smart building support to MRI’s globally recognised, scalable IWMS platform provides the industry with tools that power the entire workplace, enabling a connected, digital-first experience. In addition, FSI FM tools that support sustainability goals complement MRI’s eSight Energy reporting and analytics solutions.

FSI brings to MRI’s already comprehensive FM offering:

  • End-to-end data visibility and IoT connectivity that links systems from every part of a building, enabling facilities managers to centralise operational control and gain actionable insights that improve performance, proactively pre-empt costly failures and power smarter buildings;
  • A suite of mobile applications that allows providers to easily manage an on-the-go workforce from anywhere in the world, while also enabling occupiers to input and track service requests;
  • Improved sustainability and energy efficiency, empowering FM teams with the tools to accurately monitor energy consumption across properties and make data-driven adjustments that cut carbon emissions, improve equipment life expectancy and reduce costs.

“Facilities management teams are now playing a critical role in helping companies revolutionise the workplace for a fundamentally reshaped post-pandemic working world,” Massey adds. “Moving forward, we see real estate owners, occupiers and operators adopting strategic FM technologies to support smart buildings and the mobile capabilities needed for both FM providers and departments.”

FSI brings into the MRI fold more than 300 clients from around the world, including Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Their combined client base spans a broad array of asset classes and industries, including retail, financial services, healthcare, education, office, government, logistics and manufacturing.

In her new role, Lautenbach oversees the North American sales team and the global partner team, applying her strategic expertise to give clients more opportunity to create the software ecosystem that works best for their business. Before joining MRI, she was SVP of Global B2B Sales at PROS, which provides artificial intelligence-based ecommerce solutions.

Investment Firm a.s.r. real estate Selects MRI Software to Boost Fund Visibility and Decision-Making

Netherlands-based company deploys MRI Strategic Planning and Analytix to manage fund and asset modelling within one solution to create value for investors

 London – 27 April 2022 – MRI Software, a global leader in real estate solutions, , announces a.s.r. real estate, a Dutch real estate investment management firm part of a.s.r., one of the largest listed and sustainable insurance companies in the Netherlands, has selected MRI Strategic Planning and Analytix to manage its asset and fund modelling processes.

a.s.r. real estate, which has more than 125 years’ experience, manages portfolios in different sectors such as retail, residential, offices, science parks, agricultural land, renewables in the Netherlands and listed and non-listed real estate internationally. The firm is deploying MRI Strategic Planning, a real estate investment software solution, and Analytix Portal, a centralised and flexible business intelligence platform. The technology will drive scalable growth and maximise investment portfolio value by improving data visibility and analysis as well as supporting decision-making and long-term planning.

“Implementing MRI Strategic Planning and Analytix empowers us to focus on making buying and selling decisions at the fund level,” said Jerry Smith, Fund Controller at a.s.r. real estate. “The deployment enables our company to mitigate risk and increase value for investors by seeing multiple tiers within a fund and modelling different areas of a fund within one solution, so we can make faster, informed decisions. In addition, using MRI’s toolkit capability gives the company more control over the system, enabling us to configure reporting as our needs change – thus future-proofing the business.”

a.s.r. real estate required a flexible, all-in-one solution that could handle complex investment structures and drill down to critical fund, asset, and unit-level information. The MRI deployment provides a.s.r. real estate with one central source of data, so it no longer needs to pull information from various sources, allowing everyone at the firm to collaborate more effectively.

“Putting information at people’s fingertips is critical for companies like a.s.r. real estate, helping them manage the asset and fund modelling processes more effectively,” said Dermot Briody, Senior Vice President and Executive Managing Director EMEA at MRI. “MRI Strategic Planning allows a.s.r. real estate to manage both within one solution, significantly improving efficiency, data accuracy and strategic decision making. Relying on spreadsheets for investment modelling and portfolio management can lead to mistakes in reporting, version control issues, and inconsistent data.”

MRI Strategic Planning is a global solution that allows firms to strategically model their assets, funds, and debt in multiple currencies to make investment portfolio decisions that diminish risk and drive performance. It offers a flexible system that can be adapted and customised based on each client’s unique needs.
