挑战
AvalonBay assesses investment opportunities in the field but lacked a central tool to capture the high level of detail involved in each assessment. Development decisions were based on memory, incomplete information, and gut-feel, leading to lost opportunities and risky investments. Risky decisions could put the company’s share price at risk, along with affordable housing plans for those in need.

解决方案
A centralized database was created to serve as a single source of up-to-date information, accessible from both headquarters and the field. An Excel user interface was implemented to make it easy to enter over 500 line item details, covering everything from land leases to appliance costs. Vena’s scalability and ease-of-use allowed 650 employees to start using the software immediately. This solution provided AvalonBay with total visibility into their investments, significantly reducing risks in each development decision. Financials are always up to date, enabling ongoing pro forma analysis. Investment decisions are now based on timely, accurate data, allowing AvalonBay to focus on its mission to create a better way to live.
