Accruent, a leading real estate management solution provider, announced last month that it had acquired FAMIS Software, Inc., a pioneer of facilities management solutions, in an all-cash transaction. Terms of the deal were not announced. The acquisition enables Accruent to expand its solution footprint and provide a complete Real Estate and Facilities Lifecycle Management (REFLM) solution to its retail-heavy client roster while gaining a foothold in several new verticals – including higher education and the public sector. The deal highlights two major trends in the marketplace: the rising demand for holistic REFLM solutions and consolidation of a highly fragmented solution provider landscape.

Retail Real Estate is often considered a “fixed expense,” and although management of this critical asset has received C-level attention in the enterprise, it still has not been viewed as an opportunity for revenue and profit improvement. In fact, improved management of real estate, from market analysis through lease administration can yield dramatic results - freeing up working capital for other customer– facing initiatives, speeding up the store opening process, and dramatically altering retailer chain economics. RSAG (Retail Systems Alert Group) conducted this report to highlight the challenges of real estate performance management, and illustrate how retail winners overcome these challenges to achieve value.

Real estate management often lags well behind the rest of the enterprise when it comes to using automation and technology in order to achieve cost-controls, optimize the management of the real estate portfolio, and maximize revenue opportunities. Yet real estate can represent one of the single largest assets and/or liabilities in a company’s capital portfolio, and the annual spending on real estate and related services can account for anywhere from two to more than ten percent of total revenues.

Accumulating enterprise mass by growing the number of stores is a key imperative for retailers. Whether this growth comes organically through new store openings, inorganically through mergers and acquisitions, or a combination of the two, retailers look to growth to improve their performance. Retailers have turned to technology to help manage the costs and activities associated with store openings, closings, remodels, and overall facilities management, but their single biggest challenge is the need for communication between the various groups involved in a new store set-up. A holistic view of the entire process is the best response to this challenge and is necessary to achieve best results from technology investments.
