What CAM Reconciliation Software Saves You

CAM billing errors average 1-6% of charges. On a typical building, that is $5,900-$35,300 per year. Manual spreadsheets often miss it. CapVeri checks it in minutes.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Manual reconciliation leaves billing errors in place. They compound year over year and are hard to find without a systematic check.

Undetected Billing Errors

1-6%

Industry benchmarks show CAM charges contain 1-6% in errors on average. For a building with $590K in operating expenses, that is $5,900-$35,300 in annual overcharges going undetected.

Tenant Audit Exposure

30%+

Over 30% of commercial tenants exercise their audit rights. When your reconciliation has inconsistencies, tenant auditors find them and you pay for their audit costs plus the refund.

Late Reconciliation Penalties

90-180 days

Most leases require reconciliation within 90-180 days of year-end. Miss the deadline and you may lose the right to collect true-ups for the whole year.

Staff Time and Key-Person Risk

40-80 hrs

Manual reconciliation takes 40-80 hours per building per year. When the one analyst who built the spreadsheet leaves, the process knowledge goes with them.
