How a National Multifamily Operator Unified 4 Systems into One View
From disconnected rent rolls to portfolio-wide decision intelligence
Portfolio analytics required pulling from 4 disconnected systems — every time.
The Asset Management team managed 28,000+ units across 14 markets. Rent rolls lived in Yardi, market comps in RealPage, capex tracking in Excel, and tenant communications in an internal CRM. Every portfolio review required 3 days of manual data assembly. The SVP of Asset Management couldn't get a same-day answer to basic questions like "which properties are underperforming vs. market?"
From data chaos to instant answers
Signal Studio connected to Yardi, RealPage, the internal CRM, and Excel capex trackers through pre-built connectors. The semantic layer mapped property-level data into a unified model — enabling cross-system queries that previously required days of manual assembly.
