Building success by connecting the four key pillars of commercial property

The Momentum Group delivers high quality advisory, construction, property management, and maintenance solutions to clients across the private and public sector.

Co-founder and director, Chris Bliss, has worked across the retail and leisure sectors for the last 25 years, honing his skills in property management and development. Chris believes the commercial property industry needs to work in a more synergistic manner and established The Momentum Group to do just this:

“We work as four trading businesses; we advise, we build, we manage, and we maintain and we mainly do this directly in-house. I want to see a shift towards more of a cross-fertilisation approach in the industry and for these facets to work more holistically. Embracing technology is very much a part of this. Technology is the key to progressing the commercial property industry to propel growth with agility and simplicity.”

From spreadsheets to simplified cloud-based software 

Chris and The Momentum Group had been getting by using spreadsheets to manage their operations, but the ongoing time and energy required to work in this way was holding back their aspirations for growth.  

“We had coped with using spreadsheets but once we began to grow it became clear that spreadsheets weren’t going to cut it! Especially if we were to continue to grow and innovate and not just stagnate.”

“We had coped with using spreadsheets but once we began to grow it became clear that spreadsheets weren’t going to cut it! Especially if we were to continue to grow and innovate and not just stagnate. Now, these previously repetitive and tedious processes of checking renewal dates and organising follow-ups are handled by intelligent automation in Re-Leased. Automation allows us to focus on the things that do matter with the time we have saved; providing excellent service and growth.”

Bringing accounting and property information into one system

It’s not just property managers using Re-Leased at The Momentum Group, with the Xero integration making life easier on the accounts side of the business as well.

"Our accountant probably ends up using it the most! He uses Xero a lot so the integration of Xero into Re-Leased is a huge boon for him. For everyone else, it’s great to see one dashboard to check in and know tasks are under control and we can keep up with our data.’’

Embracing technology, diversity and data; the key to commercial property growth

For many, the pandemic has been a wholly unprecedented challenge. However, while the COVID-19 crisis has undoubtedly tested The Momentum Group, it has also proven their resilience.

“We are focused on consistently doubling our growth each year. But never to the detriment of providing a high quality service. Resilience for us comes from the diversity we have with our 4 businesses and ensuring our client portfolios are varied. When retail locked down, we made sure to ramp into damage limitation so we were ready once it opened up. Forward thinking is key in this industry and technology and tools like Re-Leased enable us to plan for the future. COVID-19 highlighted, at breakneck speed, the need to work efficiently and embrace technology.”
