Credence: breaking the mold

Credence was built in a fundamentally different age than legacy CRE ERP systems. When our founding team gazed to the future of commercial asset management, we saw that a modern solution aligned with the rapid advancements in the AI industry was needed.

We've stripped away the noise to leave a clean, structured data model that speaks the language of today's technological landscape. Matching state-of-the-art UI expectations was easy (and much needed), but we also see so much value derived outside of the platform itself. Here is what we find possible when working from a well-structured, automated data layer:

  • Effectively leverage your AI tool of choice
  • Real-time visibility into your assets' status and performance
  • Making immediate, well-informed decisions from anywhere

Leveraging AI

The most durable software will amplify the impact of your AI investments, allowing you to extract actionable insights from diverse data sets. Credence integrates seamlessly with your AI tools of choice. When your data is in one place with properly defined and documented structure, you harness AI's full potential and unlock new levels of productivity and efficiency.

Real-time visibility

The pace of operational decisions continues to quicken; and as markets tighten, small margins can make a big difference. It used to be that retrieving an answer through a chain of emails one week later was good enough. Now, visibility into your assets in real-time can be a difference maker. In our own enterprises, we had all suffered from this frustration. We wanted a tool that allowed prompt response to changes or issues in day-to-day operations. Bringing your operations into a single system with automated workflows keeps your portfolio reporting up-to-date as soon as the next invoice is approved.

Informed insights from anywhere

Whether you're reviewing data on your phone, tablet, or computer, Credence puts the tools and information you need right at your fingertips. We recognize that some tools have earned their ingrained status in the modern workforce. Like them or hate them, email and Excel are not going away any time soon. A third player is rapidly approaching the same level of ubiquity: AI chats. Credence integrates with all of these omnipresent tools. It surfaces your data through functional layers so you can use what you're used to to get the job done.

Why others will lag behind

The biggest solutions in the market today were built on outdated technology or rigid architectures that fail to adapt to the rapidly evolving world of data insights and AI. We see a lot of promised quick fixes and patchwork solutions, but ultimately, customers will be left struggling with compatibility issues, opaque decision provenance, and suboptimal performance. We believe there are a ton of great products in the market, many of which we look forward to growing alongside. But we feel the biggest players will have trouble keeping pace over the next few years as decisions made 40 years ago hamstring their involvement in the current landscape of opportunity.
