Case Study: Hartz Mountain Industries achieves real-time portfolio visibility and data-driven decision-making with VTS

Hartz Mountain Industries Leverages Real-Time Data During Portfolio Expansion

Hartz Mountain Industries, one of the largest privately held real estate owners with a 23M RSF portfolio across industrial, office, and retail in the NY/NJ metro, Charlotte and Atlanta, faced eroding visibility as it expanded beyond its home market. Longstanding manual workflows — stenographer notes and Excel reports — broke down with third‑party managers and remote markets, leaving the team without timely, reliable data to support leasing and portfolio decisions.

Hartz implemented VTS across leasing and property management to provide an easy‑to‑use, mobile and desktop platform for real‑time data access. The change eliminated manual reporting, improved efficiency and data integrity (reducing billing and lease-risk), sped decision‑making, and enabled actionable portfolio strategies such as market‑rent benchmarking and unit reconfiguration to capture higher rents.
