Content/Information Service partners offer business-related content syndication or services that complement Accruent enterprise location management solutions. Seamlessly integrating partner content or services with Accruent software increases the scope and value of an Accruent solution.

CoStar Group and Accruent have formed a technology and marketing partnership to develop and market an integrated solution that will provide on-demand access to CoStar's commercial real estate data from within Accruent's software.

This solution will provide retailers with an enormous opportunity to increase their revenues, reduce site selection and lease management costs, and have greater predictability of their business performance, by providing on-demand property intelligence for key real estate decisions. When retailers enter markets and make site selection decisions, using the latest property information is critical. The solution will automate data entry and site selection processes. For example, searching for sites with specific space availabilities, demographics and leasing or co-tenancy requirements would produce results in a matter of minutes and virtually eliminate the need to manually enter details for numerous locations. The two companies are working to develop additional capabilities in the future, such as automatic alerts that, for example, would allow a retailer in a shopping center know when an anchor tenant leaves or if that center's vacancy rate falls beyond a certain occupancy threshold, which could violate lease co-tenancy provisions.
