Modern Commercial Lease Management with Matt Giffune, CEO of Occupier
When commercial real estate owners and operators have multiple properties and locations to manage, problems can multiple. In today's interview, however, we're not talking about maintenance, physical improvements, or logistics per se. We're discussing lease management.
Matt Giffune, CEO and co-founder of the company Occupier, breaks down the archaic mess that is the status quo for lease management within many companies today. Think about any restaurant, retail store, specialty shop, or auto service station change that has a few locations across town. OK, now expand that to a few locations across the county, state, or nation. The potential for loosing track of lease options, rules, and requirements now becomes a significant concern.
Occupier is more than just lease management. Matt breaks down the additional features and capabilities of the platform including transaction management, lease accounting, and even how Occupier works as a CRM for brokers.
