Planimetron creates visual decision support solutions for commercial and corporate real estate professionals. Since 1983, Planimetron solutions have generated a rich graphical user experience by integrating real estate and spatial data.

Planimetron's flagship products, Propidex (for commercial real estate) and Corpidex (for corporate real estate), create time-sensitive, interactive graphical presentations of data to support a wide range of real estate business processes, including area measurement calculations and opportunity and exposure analysis. Planimetron tools are multi-national, supporting multiple languages and measurement standards.

Our Design Philosophy

1. Decision-Maker Oriented

Planimetron’s product focus on the needs of the decision maker through cross-portfolio analysis including vacancy, expiration, rent, lease terminations, encumbrances and renewal rights, BOMA area calculations and financial consolidation from the landlord or the occupant perspective. For the leasing person we have factsheets, date-sensitive stacks and re-demiseable floorplans, photos, leasing oriented rent-roll reports, lease plans, space plans, prospect and availability tracking, NER and more. For the property manager there is financial budgets and results, tenant listings, subtenant support and space management, move management and much more.

2. Built to be Database Independent

3. For those who don't want to be a CAD Technician

Planimetron’s products don’t require that you maintain a separate CAD program such as AutoCAD or Microstation to do your space planning and floorplan changes. You can maintain your Architects' drawings in their native format without having to require that be converted to one standard CAD program. No additional CAD user licenses or viewers required to let everyone view, re-demise, calculate rentable area and save floorplan scenarios. Best of all, the applications are intuitive and easy to use – so you don’t need to be a CAD operator to do floorplan scenarios, and you only need a couple of hours orientation training to know how to find, consolidate, analyze and query your information.

4. Easy Customer Specific Configuration

Each client uses different terminology (lease vs. agreement, gross rent vs. escalated rent, etc), and has different views of their information depending on the data available and the kind of properties they have. Configuration changes can be property specific, are easily made in-house and require no programming changes. Data is still exchangeable, and multi-language support is available.

5. Minimal Support Costs

6. Planimetron Eliminates Duplication

Most CAFM systems require that all the information to support their application be created in their own database. Not so with Planimetron. We rely on Property Management source systems for this information and results in no possibility of reconciliation issues. Clients require that their PM systems to be integrated with their financial systems. Planimetron allows you to continue to use the accountants backend system while fulfilling your property management, space management, leasing management and portfolio analysis requirements. No worries about reconciliation issues.

7. We are the BOMA Standard

Incorporated in each of our products is the area calculation tool built by Planimetron for and sold by BOMA (Standardware). Of course, we support other standards as well and you can be confident in our Rentable Area Calculations. Landlords and Occupants today are very focused in reflecting accurate areas in their lease contracts. Identify opportunities to recover area, or revisit proposed areas.

8. Planimetron works with Multiple Systems

9. Client-Driven Development

Planimetron’s policy to maintain one application with high-level client configuration. Enhancements made for a client are re-distributed to all clients in the form of application releases, which is covered in your maintenance fees. As a result, our applications contain significant functionality designed by real estate professionals and which incorporate a broad set of customer requirements.

10. Web-based solutions; not just "web-enabled"
