Built for property management

Accounts payable that understands property, fund and heading.

01

Coding to property, fund and heading

Every supplier invoice is matched to the right property and service charge fund and coded to the correct heading, using your portfolio and supplier data. You can see why each invoice landed where it did.

02

Utility bills

Electricity, gas and water bills are handled as utility bills. The supply, billing period and amount are checked before each bill is allocated to the right building and schedule.

03

Duplicates and supplier details

Potential duplicates are flagged, and bank and VAT details that don't match your supplier records are held for review before anything reaches an approver.

04

Approvals across many clients

Invoices go to the right property manager under each client's approval rules, with a full audit trail for service charge accounts and year end.

Built by Stratas

Dataforge Invoices, for block and estate managing agents.

We built Dataforge Invoices for managing agents' invoices and utility bills. AI reads each invoice, predicts the property, fund and heading from your coding history, and posts to MRI Qube or exports for Blocks Online, so your property system stays your system of record.
