Your rent roll in, your records out

The biggest hurdle in switching is not the software, it is the retyping. That is why Doory starts with the file you already have. You upload your rent roll or occupancy spreadsheet and Doory reads the column layout itself. From that comes a proposal for offices, companies, contracts and invoice lines, which you review before it becomes final.

Why column mapping so often gets stuck

Every occupancy list has grown differently. One has "Unit" and "Tenant", another "Room no." and "Company name", with merged cells, a header on row seven and three tabs nobody uses any more. The classic approach is an import template that you have to fit your own file into. That takes days, and the mistakes made along the way turn up months later on an invoice.

How it works in Doory

You upload the file as it is. For each column, Doory recognises what it is probably about: unit number, tenant name, floor area, price, start date, end date, notice period. Based on that, Doory makes a proposal: these will be your offices, these will be your companies, these will be the contracts with their allocations, and these are the invoice lines that follow from them.

That proposal is not yet your records. You go through it in the import workspace, see for each line what Doory understood, adjust what is wrong and approve. Only then are the records created. If Doory cannot find something, for example a notice period that appears nowhere in the file, that field stays empty and visibly empty. Doory does not make up contract terms.

What that means for your switch

You do not have to fill in a template or drag columns around. You start with the list you were already using on Monday, and you spend your time checking instead of typing. That is why a building can be live within two weeks.

If something in your source file turns out to be wrong along the way, that is not a disaster. Your raw upload is kept, so you can roll back an import and run it again with an improved file.

What you need to look at yourself

Prices and end dates. Those are the two fields where a wrong interpretation costs the most, and so the two fields the review step is really meant for. Set aside an hour for it with the list beside you.
