Kimco Realty Corp. joins up with REquest.

Kimco Realty Corporation, a publicly-traded real estate investment trust (REIT), went live June 1 with REquest, REsolve Technology's flagship solution.

REquest, a web-based asset and portfolio management software solution, enables Kimco Realty and other REITs to eliminate the layers of paperwork, financial data, and software needed in their day-to-day financial operations. Kimco Realty has 150 users currently on the REquest system.

"Since implementing REquest we have been able to easily access and use volumes of information that have been compiled in our operating system," said Mitch Margolis, CIO at Kimco Realty. "In less than a week, all of our users were trained and did not have to learn about different software or codes. We have been able to drastically reduce the amount of time Kimco associates spend gathering, inputting, and reformatting property information from our various locations."

Kimco Realty has 503 properties totaling 67 million SF of leasable space in 41 states. Formed in 1966, Kimco Realty is one of the nation's largest REIT's specializing in the acquisition, development and management of neighborhood shopping centers.

REsolve Technology has been working in the real estate financial sector for more than 10 years and perceived a need for an application such as REquest.
