In 2023, a real estate investment trust asked whether it would be possible to pull data from the backend of MRI Property Central and automate parts of its asset management reporting.

Behind the system sat hundreds of tables and thousands of fields.
What started as an exploration of the database evolved into a fully validated reporting layer — replicating income statements directly from source data and eliminating the manual Excel reshaping that typically sits between system outputs and board packs.

The result was not just automation, but structural clarity:
reports that refresh instantly, remain stable as complexity grows, and are designed around how management and boards actually make decisions.
