Hartz Mountain Industries, Inc., is a large regional real estate enterprise in the New York/New Jersey area. Its portfolio encompasses retail, office, industrial, and hotel properties. In 1998, Hartz implemented Yardi Enterprise to help control costs and track its projects from construction to property management. In 2009, seeking new, browser-based capabilities, Hartz upgraded to Yardi Voyager Commercial. "We selected Voyager because it was specifically designed for the commercial real estate industry, rather than a software program adapted for commercial real estate," said Lawrence Garb, Hartz's executive vice president of Administration. "As we grew and our portfolio expanded, we needed browser-based technology capable of tracking tenant options and tenant sales information and providing enhanced commercial rent roll analytics. Voyager fit the bill." Voyager is also invaluable in helping Hartz complete its real estate tax and common area maintenance expense recovery calculations.
