Sigma Computing Consulting for Real Estate Firms
Stop rebuilding the rent roll and NOI report from property management exports every month. We build Sigma workbooks on Snowflake that give asset managers and investors the same numbers.
The short answer
Where the Hours Go Today
- The rent roll and occupancy report is rebuilt from property management exports each month.
- NOI against budget lives in a separate workbook for each property.
- Investor and lender reports take days of copying numbers between files.
- Budgets and reforecasts are emailed around as spreadsheets.
Sigma Workbooks We Build
- Occupancy and Rent Roll
- Units, occupancy, in-place rent and lease expirations by property and portfolio, read from dated tables so any past month can be reopened.
- Leasing Activity
- Leads, tours, applications, new leases and renewals by property and week, with drill paths to each lease.
- NOI and Budget Variance
- Income and expenses by property and month against budget, with the variance broken out by line item.
- Investor and Lender Reporting
- Quarterly investor and lender packs built from the same tables, with budgets and notes entered by asset managers in input tables.
Why Sigma Fits
- Asset managers already work in Excel
- Sigma is a spreadsheet grid with over 200 functions on live warehouse data, so asset managers can keep their models without copying exports.
- Budgets stored next to actuals
- Input tables let teams enter budgets, reforecasts and notes in Sigma, stored in Snowflake and compared against actuals right away.
- Investors see only their funds
- Row-level security and secure embeds can show each investor or partner only the properties and funds they hold.
Data We Connect
- Property management system
- Accounting system
- Leasing and CRM tools
- Budget and reforecast spreadsheets
- Debt and loan schedules
- Snowflake
Common questions
Is Sigma good for real estate reporting?
Sigma fits real estate firms whose asset managers and accountants work in spreadsheets and whose property data is in, or moving to, a cloud warehouse such as Snowflake.
Can Sigma build a rent roll report?
Yes, once lease and unit data from the property management system are loaded into Snowflake. We store each month so any past rent roll can be reopened.
Can we enter budgets in Sigma?
Yes. Input tables let asset managers type budgets and reforecasts into a Sigma workbook, and the values are stored in the warehouse next to actuals.
Can Sigma replace our Excel investor reports?
For recurring investor and lender packs, yes. We move the logic into Snowflake and Sigma and check the new pack against the last one built in Excel before switching.
How long does a Sigma build take?
It depends on how many property management and accounting systems you use and how much history you need. We scope it on a short call, starting with one report.
