The Pargesoft Difference

Why Property Operators Outgrow Generic ERP

We consolidate complex real estate and leasing operations beyond the limitations of standard ERPs, keeping everything directly inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Zero Disconnection and End to End Audit Trail

Index linked escalation (CPI/PPI), turnover tiers, caps, reverse caps, and advance settlement calculations are moved out of spreadsheets and manual tables. By eliminating manual data entry risks, month end financial closing and reconciliations are streamlined into an automated routine, providing management with real time, transparent, and auditable P&L and cash flow views.

Native In Ledger Architecture and Single Version of Truth

Unlike specialist property niche software that remains strong on leasing but weak on the ledger, which requires dual closes, complex interfaces, and messy reconciliations, Mall & Property Management operates natively inside Business Central. Tenants, leases, units, and charges share the exact same ledger as the general accounts, ensuring one posting model, one audit trail, and one close.

Integrated Master Data Architecture

Four Master Records, One Billing Engine

Configure and govern your entire property portfolio and financial workflows within a unified ERP backbone.

Property Master Data and Portfolio Management

Manage shopping centres, residences, housing estates, or commercial offices under agency, principal, or hybrid management models. Maintain gross land, covered, and lettable areas in square metres as well as total store counts, which serve as the foundational denominators behind every common area charge allocation. Establish currency policies, rate date methods, foreign exchange difference logic, and loss suppression rules.

Investor Master Data and Revenue Sharing

Opened as a customer record flagged as an investor. For consortium properties or joint ownerships, revenue split percentages automate the allocation of fixed rent, turnover rent, common area charges (CAM), and utility collections across multiple landlords or investors without manual spreadsheets.

Lettable Units (Lots) and Commercial Space Optimization

Classifies the smallest lettable units such as stores, kiosks, storage, and pop up stands by commercial location types to drive commission and common expense inclusions. Supports space merges and splits while preserving full historical contract versions, turnover performances, and meter records. Each unit tracks dedicated meters for electricity, water, and gas consumptions.

Lease Contracts and Lifecycle Governance

From quotation and negotiation to execution, amendment, and termination. Manages diverse leasing methods including fixed rent, minimum base rent plus turnover rent, or turnover only rent. Handles bank guarantees, cash deposits, and assignments to banks. Any mid term rent discounts, area expansions, or temporary condition adjustments are recorded using the Protocol Wizard, creating dated protocols instead of overwriting contract histories.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mall & Property Management a separate third party software from Business Central?

No. It is a 100% native Business Central extension, available for Cloud SaaS and On Premises deployments. It requires no middleware, external database, or third party synchronization because leases, billing lines, and sub meters post directly to your general ledger.

Does the solution support complex turnover models, tiers, and caps?

Yes. Over 60 rental variations are supported out of the box, including fixed rent, minimum base rent plus turnover rent, turnover only rent, tiered turnover by sales bands or lines, product range turnover rates, and turnover CAP or reverse CAP thresholds.

How are common area maintenance (CAM) charges and advance settlements handled?

Units define lettable square metres, location types, and multipliers. The engine issues monthly advance charges and automatically runs period end actual expense settlement reports, calculating the variance and producing balancing debit or credit invoices directly.

How do tenants report monthly sales and turnover figures?

Tenants can submit sales figures or Z reports via the Power Pages Tenant Portal, through direct web service integrations, or financial teams can import them in bulk via Excel spreadsheets or automated document processing.
