PropTech advisory
We build the tools, not just advise on buying them
Network planning and site selection models, scoring tools, workflow automation and portfolio dashboards — built to answer the decision in front of you. And where an off-the-shelf product is the better answer, we will tell you that instead. For lessors and lessees, owners, occupiers, developers and joint-venture partners across Auckland and New Zealand.
What we do
PropTech we build, and PropTech we help you buy
Two different jobs, and they are scoped and priced differently.
Network planning & site selection
Catchment modelling and site scoring resolved into a board-ready shortlist. Built in-house out of New Zealand grocery and large-format retail network planning.
Catchment & demand modelling
Census, traffic and demographic layers built in, so a catchment is measured rather than assumed.
Competitor mapping & white space
Where the competition sits, where it does not, and which gaps are worth a site.
Scoring & assessment tools
Repeatable scoring on site amenity, asset condition and lease quality, so a portfolio is compared on one basis.
Portfolio dashboards & automation
Lease events, WALE, occupancy cost and capex in one view. Review cycles, critical dates and reporting scheduled and prompted, not chased.
Platform selection, where buying beats building
Sometimes the product already exists. Shortlist, fit assessment, total cost of ownership, contract review, then implementation support.
Outcomes
What the tooling is for
Lease events and critical dates in one place, so nothing is found late.
Portfolio visibility
Standardised reporting across assets, leases and capex, so leadership sees what matters.
Better leasing decisions
Incentives, market evidence and deal terms tracked, improving net effective outcomes.
Operational efficiency
Recurring tasks and approvals automated, cutting manual work and improving auditability.
Risk & compliance support
Lease documents and approvals in one place, so a lender or investor request is answered the same day.
One example
Applied technology, not a technology pitch
Most of our PropTech work is platform-agnostic.
Where a specialist tool genuinely earns its place, we bring it in. PRiMAX is one example, not the whole of the work.
PRiMAX reads buyer behaviour across a project’s listings — return visits, time on floorplans, price points checked — scores each buyer by intent, and pushes that into the CRM the sales team already uses.
Our role is the commercial judgement around it: whether the data supports the price, and what to do when it does not.
Questions
PropTech FAQs
What clients ask before committing to a platform or a build.
What types of PropTech do you advise on?
Leasing, asset management, portfolio reporting, document control and performance dashboards. Selected to match your operating model.
Do you sell software or take commissions?
No. Klug takes no vendor commission, and has no vested interest in a deal going ahead, so the recommendation is not paid for by the vendor.
How do you approach vendor selection?
We define requirements and score options against your use cases. We then validate total cost of ownership and review the contracts.
Can you help with data migration and reporting?
Yes. We structure the data, define governance and design the reporting outputs you will actually decide on.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Half a day on what you actually need, then a shortlist with costs. Build or buy is decided at that point.
Is PropTech only for large portfolios?
No. We scope to the portfolio and tackle the workflows that matter most first, so effort stays proportionate.
