Blue Tea’s custom software solutions play a crucial role in bolstering the value propositions of a Real Assets Investment Management company by enabling a set of core functions:
- Handling Larger and More Complex Projects: Through the deployment of collaborative tools and centralised systems, Blue Tea’s technology will allow you to scale up operations. It makes it possible to bring various stakeholders together on a unified platform, facilitating coordination and enhancing efficiency, which is critical for managing larger and complex projects.
- Keeping Development on Target: Real-time monitoring tools and advanced analytics can signal early warnings for projects deviating from their targets in terms of time and budget. Interactive Gantt charts and dashboard updates provide continuous oversight, helping to keep the development process on schedule and within financial constraints.
- Risk Reduction: By implementing systems that closely track project variables and risks, Blue Tea will help you to minimise the likelihood of development failures. This proactive risk management is further supported by adherence to quality and information security standards such as ISO9001 and ISO27001.
- Enhanced Visibility and Communication: Investors and lenders benefit from a transparent view of project progress and risks, improving communication channels. This transparency, facilitated by our custom software, enables a better ROI by providing stakeholders with the information they need to make informed decisions.
- Environmental Responsibility: Custom software applications will make the incorporation of eco-friendly development and construction practices easier.
Featured Client
Blue Tea’s custom software solutions can support the customer relationships and channels of a Real Assets Investment Management company in several ways:
- For Investors and Estate Agents a custom platform can provide comprehensive updates, manage risks, streamline processes and automate the creation of marketing materials like brochures with images, specs and footage. It can also track sales performances such as asking prices achieved and reflect these in other areas to foster loyalty and trust.
- For Landowners and End Buyers Blue Tea can create systems for direct marketing to end buyers, increasing their confidence in the real assets investment firm and potentially providing personal assistance to foster relationships with significant landowners.
- Enabling Communication Channels: A well-built custom platform can enable updates for investors, showing progress through Gantt charts and regular updates. This digital approach encourages repeat business by ensuring investors are well-informed and trust you. Online platforms can facilitate the exchange of funds and provide marketing outreach to potential new investors, offering a modern and efficient way to raise capital.
- Optimising Distribution and Sales Channels: We can integrate or develop a sales platform to list and sell units, facilitating transactions in an online environment. For significant transactions like land acquisition, personalised in-person sales approaches can also be supported by custom software.
- Enabling Service Channels with Digital and In-Person Support: A combination of digital (help desk, FAQs, online forms) and in-person channels (site visits, meetings) can be set up to support stakeholders like investors, landowners and estate agents. A custom software application can manage these service channels efficiently, ensuring that all support resources are accessible and effective.

Blue Tea’s custom software solutions can significantly optimise the cost structure of your Real Assets Investment Management company by targeting both fixed and variable costs:
Optimising Fixed Costs:
- Streamlining Internal Processes: Blue Tea can develop tools that make internal teams such as analysts, data scientists and IT support work more efficiently, potentially reducing the headcount or the hours needed to complete tasks. This includes automation of repetitive tasks and the creation of bespoke tools that align exactly with the company’s processes.
- Remote and On-Site Working Solutions: By enabling effective remote working through collaborative platforms, the need for physical office space and associated utilities can be reduced. Additionally, these solutions can facilitate on-site reporting, directly linking field data to central offices for immediate action and decision-making.
- Decision Support Systems: The creation of decision-aiding tools can help streamline the decision-making process, reducing the time and potential cost associated with indecision or delayed responses.
Reducing Variable Costs:
- Outsourced Entity Management: By standardising reporting from outsourced parties such as property developers and quantity surveyors through a centralised platform, you can reduce the time and effort spent on reviewing disparate reports, thereby cutting back on the costs associated with managing these external relationships.
- Automated Reporting: Automated reporting and RAG (Red, Amber, Green) status updates from a bespoke platform can improve oversight on projects and reduce the manual effort required in generating and analysing reports.
- Integrated Marketing and Distribution: Automating and integrating marketing activities, as well as streamlining distribution channels through connections with property portals, can reduce the costs associated with these functions.
Here are a few examples of how custom software can enhance your revenue streams:
1. Custom Visibility Tools allow precise monitoring of project costs and timelines, giving you the ability to closely track and control developer expenses, ensuring these remain within the projected budget.
2. Tailored Process Streamlining: We will design and build a system that reflects your specific operational workflows of the client, ensuring that the management of property developers and quantity surveyors is tightly integrated and monitored, reducing operational overheads while safeguarding project quality.
3. Enhanced Cost Control: By creating bespoke tracking features within the software, Blue Tea equips you with the capacity to oversee all cost-related aspects of development, eliminating any unnecessary financial additions and ensuring that costs are fully transparent and justifiable.
4. Support for Dynamic Pricing: While not the main focus, a custom software application can include dynamic pricing modules, helping you to align list prices with real-time market data and your own cost metrics.
5. Tailoring to Revenue Streams: Whether it’s providing tools for investors to track returns, enabling end-buyers to find value in the properties or facilitating asset sales, our custom solution will align with your financial strategies.

- Investors (retail, banks/lenders) willing to pay for higher returns and value generated
- End-buyers willing to pay for either value add (i.e. well-priced properties) or premium offering (high-end properties), or ideally both
