Case Study: Yes! Communities achieves a 50% reduction in budgeting time with Vena Solutions

YES Communities Reduces Budgeting Time by 50% With Vena

YES Communities is a rapidly growing manufactured-housing firm managing 250+ communities across 21 states that relied on hundreds of disconnected Excel spreadsheets and multiple source systems (MRI, ADP, ManageAmerica). That fragmented approach made budgeting and reporting slow and error-prone—budget cycles took three months, reports were inconsistent across regions, and managers had little time for analysis or trusted, timely data.

By implementing Vena—integrated with existing systems and delivered via familiar Excel templates—YES created a single source of truth with automated data flows and standardized workflows. The result: budgeting time fell by 50% (from three months to six weeks), reporting templates dropped from 33 to 6 (an 82% reduction), teams gained on-demand, reliable reports and historical analysis, and community managers now spend more time on analytics and decision-making.
