CREtelligent, a leading provider of innovative due diligence solutions and analytics for the commercial real estate (CRE) ecosystem, sought to revolutionize its data processes and deliver insights with unprecedented speed and efficiency. By leveraging App Orchid's advanced semantic layer and insights engine, powered by the Easy Answers product, CREtelligent has transformed its operations, delivering expedited reporting, reduced costs, and new data offerings to its customers.

The Challenge: Manual Processes and Data Silos Slow Down Critical Insights

CREtelligent's core business involves combining commercial documents with property data reports and environmental data to provide comprehensive solutions such as End-to-End Environmental Risk Assessment, Condition/Resilience Reports, Land Services, Valuation, and Packaged Services. However, their existing processes were largely manual and lacked a centralized data lake. This resulted in significant delays in automating unstructured data extraction, processing risk assessments, and presenting reports to clients. The need for faster, more automated solutions was critical to meet the demands of a dynamic CRE market.

The Solution: A Semantic Layer and AI-Powered Insights Engine with App Orchid

To overcome these challenges, CREtelligent partnered with App Orchid, implementing a robust solution that automates data extraction, structuring, and aggregation. Utilizing App Orchid technology, data from diverse sources was seamlessly extracted, structured, and integrated into a data lake connected to the App Orchid platform.

Key Data Sources Integrated:

●      Environmental Property data from ERIS (Environmental Research Institute of the States)

●      Black Knight Reports

●      Commercial property documents

At the heart of this transformation was App Orchid's semantic layer, which provides a unified view of complex commercial real estate data, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all analyses. Building on this semantic foundation, App Orchid's insights engine, featuring the intuitive Easy Answers product, empowered CREtelligent to explore data, generate rich dashboards, and create comprehensive reports. Easy Answers enables users to ask natural language questions and receive instant insights, facilitating real-time analysis and comparison of various metrics, such as "Show all environmental listings."

The App Orchid platform, combined with its aggregated data, has also enabled CREtelligent to introduce new data and business offerings, further solidifying its position as an innovator in the commercial real estate due diligence sector.
