Transition

Achieving Your Business Goals

"We guide clients through making real changes – from choosing service providers to implementing new systems and processes.”

Managing change & implementation

Do you want to become more profitable? We have been advising and supporting property teams since 2003 and our wealth of experience will guide you through change efficiently – delivering competitive advantage.

• help you procure the best suppliers for property services and technology

  • Have you considered whether the work or systems could be in-house or outsourced? We can help you identify the considerable savings to be had in selecting the right approach for your team.

  • We help to shorten the time taken to select the right suppliers and minimise the risks of large projects by helping you to test the suppliers in detail.

  • Our methodologies are recognised by the real estate industry, which again reduces the time taken on the project and reduces the risks of misunderstandings and errors.

  • How long will this take? We can give you realistic estimates based on our experience and help you manage the budgets and timescales to avoid “surprises”.

  • Case studies include:

    - Crown Estate Scotland

• Oversee the launch of new service contracts to ensure a smooth transition

  • Once you have gone through the process of selecting a new business structure, a new service provider or redefined the services you need, the crucial stage has yet to follow, the rollout.

  • Mobilising and transitioning are key to setting the new structure, supplier or service up for success, and errors or omissions at this stage will compound over time, only causing problems and failures later.

  • A comprehensive plan, management of risks and issues, and staying on top of people, actions and timeline are key to success. We can provide experienced project managers and subject matter experts who have seen it all before, know what to look out for and how to manage the process, making sure that you can roll out the changes you want and benefit as soon as possible.

  • Case Studies include:
    - Argent

• Lead change management initiatives to ensure staff and systems adapt effectively

  • Our renowned workshops are designed to be inclusive and all-encompassing. We believe that change cannot be effected without buy-in, and buy-in cannot be achieved without communication and involvement of all who will be impacted.

  • Remit works with your teams to define the scope of change proposed and to connect with those most affected by it. Working together with your people, we strive to achieve consensus on the way forward and to bring them to the realisation that change is being brought about by them and not being done to them.

  • Case studies include:

    - Aspers

Technology & system implementation

• Support with setting up and integrating systems like Yardi, MRI, Horizon, and Argus

  • Do you know whether there are more problems setting up systems due to people or with the technology? We can help you address both aspects in a joined-up way and whilst we cannot promise to take the whole project off your hands, we can help your staff work on priorities and minimise the disruption.

  • Whether your focus is commercial, residential or both, we can help you choose the systems and technology that are best designed to support your business. We will help you define your requirements based on leading practice property business processes.

  • We will manage the project and make sure your people are involved so they accept and understand the new technology and quickly get on board with the changes, so you get long-lasting benefits from your investment. 

  • We can also help you see the bigger picture for the future of your business, with our strategy and management services and technology benchmarking reports.

• Implementing system Improvements to make operations more efficient

  • The first question we will ask you in a systems project is “How good is your current data?” Without addressing poor data, your investment in technology will fail. We have the experience of managing real estate data from audit all the way through to data cleansing.

  • We can help you review, streamline and structure your data so the new system works as it should, from day one.

  • We also support clients in making sense of their data once the system is live. Whether you need standard reports or bespoke dashboards, we will work with you to create tools that provide clear, practical insight and support decision-making.

• Project management

  • Implementing new IT systems involves significant change for an organisation. This change needs managing, not as an afterthought, but as a formal project, coordinated by you to ensure that all internal and external resources and stakeholders are focused and deliver to plan. If you don’t have the capacity, our implementation project managers can help.

  • Our project managers and system experts understand the common pitfalls and how to avoid them, keeping your implementation on track and ensuring the system delivers the benefits you expect.
