If you’re in property management or real estate operations, you know that Net Operating Income (NOI) isn’t just a line item—it’s the ultimate performance scorecard. From asset managers and CFOs to property operators and owners, NOI drives decisions, reveals risks, and reflects the health of every asset under management.
And if you use Yardi, you’re already working with one of the most powerful property management platforms in the business. It’s robust, flexible, and loaded with features. But like any great system, the real magic happens when it’s tailored to your workflow.
That’s where custom Yardi reports come in. They take a solid foundation and turn it into a precision tool—one that surfaces exactly what your team needs to act fast, reduce waste, and drive NOI higher.
Out of the box, Yardi delivers an extensive suite of reports designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of property types and organizations. For many teams, these standard reports get the job done. But when your business starts asking more complex questions—or your portfolio grows more nuanced—you may find yourself stitching together multiple reports, exporting data to Excel, or wishing a key metric was just a little more front-and-center.
That’s not a shortcoming of Yardi—it’s a sign you’re ready to level up. Custom reports don’t replace what Yardi provides. They enhance it by giving your team tailored views of the metrics that matter most to your specific goals.
Here’s how that custom layer can transform your approach to NOI.
Custom reporting lets you track the nuances that directly affect profitability—like unit turn times, average days to complete maintenance tickets, or recurring vendor expenses. These operational metrics may exist in Yardi’s data structure, but custom reports bring them to the surface in a way that fits your internal process.
With these insights readily available, your team can:
The faster you catch inefficiencies, the faster you can fix them—and protect your margins.
NOI isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s also about understanding revenue on a granular level. Custom reports can segment income streams by floor plan, lease term, or even marketing channel, giving leasing and revenue teams better tools to refine strategy.
Want to know if shorter-term leases generate more turnover cost than value? Or whether a specific floor plan consistently outperforms others? These are the kinds of questions custom Yardi reports can answer with precision.
With this clarity, you can:
One of Yardi’s strengths is its ability to support multiple stakeholders across the organization. But different teams often want different views of the same data.
A controller might want a roll-up report aligned to fiscal periods. A regional manager may want live snapshots of occupancy and expenses. A COO might need executive-level summaries across the portfolio. Custom reports let you deliver the right slice of the data to the right person—automatically.
This alignment reduces:
In short, it creates a shared source of truth—built on Yardi, customized to your workflow.
Month-end can be a race against the clock. Even with a strong accounting platform like Yardi, many teams still find themselves doing manual cleanup, combining multiple reports, or revalidating formulas.
With custom reports:
The outcome? A faster, smoother close process that frees up time and reduces stress—without sacrificing accuracy.
Looking ahead is just as important as looking back. With the right custom reports, you can track historical trends, spot anomalies, and even incorporate assumptions that support budgeting and forecasting.
From capital planning to scenario analysis, custom reporting allows you to:
You don’t have to overhaul your systems—you just need a better lens on the data you already have.
As margins tighten and competition intensifies, real estate teams can’t afford to let valuable data sit underused. Yardi holds a wealth of insight. The challenge is surfacing it in the format that fuels action, not just information.
Custom reporting is one of the most powerful ways to do that. And the good news? It doesn’t require a system overhaul—just a sharper strategy for how you use what’s already there.
Yardi is built to support sophisticated real estate operations—and custom reporting is how you fully unlock that power.
