Looking Back on Innovations and New Releases in 2023
Newly Enhanced Comps Database
Referencing sales comps is an essential part of your deal evaluation process, so it shouldn’t be difficult or time-consuming. The more streamlined your comps sourcing process is, the faster you can underwrite and prioritize the best deals.
We enhanced Comps in Dealpath in 2023, enabling users to leverage existing properties and historical deals to create comps for more informed decisions. Every Comp you create becomes part of a proprietary database aggregating your team’s unique market intelligence for an unrivaled competitive edge.

Streamlined Model Comparison
Even if your team has financial modeling down to a science, it’s hard to make informed decisions without visibility into how return profiles change with market conditions.
Dealpath’s easy-to-use model comparison tool helps teams quickly identify which deals pencil out, even if the most challenging scenario comes to fruition.
Every model version can be viewed, filtered and sorted by milestone, creator, date and more, making it clear which scenarios are being compared and which information is most up-to-date. Hand-pick the comparison metrics, dashboards and mappings for each property type for a focused and curated underwriting process.
Automated Data Ingestion
Dealpath Data Ingestion (DDI) gives teams a streamlined and effortless way to capture new deals in Dealpath, taking the strain of cumbersome manual data entry off of your already limited resources.
As you receive new listings, DDI eliminates manual, time-consuming work and seamlessly creates new pipeline opportunities. This means you can prioritize deal analysis while building a proprietary deal database to help inform the most important investment decisions.
In 2023, we introduced a DDI dashboard, giving teams an easy jumping-off point to track and kickstart analysis on all the deals that come across their desk–whether they become viable opportunities or simply market intelligence. A new version of DDI, supercharged by AI, is currently in beta testing with plans for general release to existing customers early next year.

Integrated Document Creation
Document creation is an essential part of the day-to-day work of commercial real estate teams. Documents must be professional, include company colors and logos and, most importantly, be accurate when presented to internal and external stakeholders. But creating them is time-consuming–especially when you have to enter data points one-by-one.
Dealpath’s add-in for Microsoft Word enables teams to instantly pull Dealpath data like asking price, IRR and more into documents like LOIs, IC memos and PSAs without spending time on manual entry or double-checking accuracy.

Tools for Debt and Asset Teams
We expanded Dealpath’s capabilities for debt investment teams, allowing for further customization, tracking and reporting of various loan types. This provides even deeper insight into your debt pipeline, particularly when various debt instruments are part of the same transaction.
We also introduced more tools to support the transfer of knowledge from deal teams to asset management teams, further breaking down data silos and preserving accurate historical reporting for all transactions.

Dealpath Mobile
At the beginning of the year, the newest version of the Dealpath mobile app was released, enabling on-the-go decision making with data at your fingertips. That means no more waiting to get to a computer to enter new deals, make key updates to in-flight projects or pull up valuable market data.

Approval Tracking
A streamlined approval process is essential for moving quickly on the right deals and managing risk at scale, so we introduced enhancements that give approvers more contextual data at their fingertips for mission-critical decisions. This includes deal summaries and approval comments that become part of an automated record the moment the approval process is complete, creating a zero-effort audit trail.

AI-Powered Search
First launched in 2022, Power Search in Dealpath leverages machine learning technology to put everything that was once frustratingly unsearchable or difficult to find at your fingertips, with recent AI-powered enhancements. Instantly surface the most accurate results within your deal database, including text within images and PDF documents, to maximize time savings with a smart search interface.

Conversations & Reporting Dashboards (Coming Soon)
Arriving early in 2024, conversations will help teams have a focused dialogue about a particular data point or aspect of a given deal, while reporting dashboards will provide even more sophisticated visualizations of pipeline and investment performance.
AI-Powered Investment Summary & Memo Generation (In Development)
Fueled by the contents of an OM or flyer, users will soon be able to generate a clear, concise deal summary highlighting the merits and risks of a deal to rapidly identify if the deal is aligned to the investment strategy.
