The Challenge

What They Were Facing

Meridian's 120 brokers managed a $4.2B deal pipeline across office, industrial, and retail asset classes using a combination of personal spreadsheets, a legacy CRM, and email threads. There was no shared view of deal pipeline, brokers hoarded client relationships, and leadership had no visibility into forecasted commissions. Property listings were managed in a separate system with no CRM integration, and market comps were compiled manually for each pitch. The firm was losing competitive deals because brokers lacked timely market intelligence and could not produce professional pitch materials quickly.

The Solution

How We Solved It

AQBEE implemented Salesforce Sales Cloud with a custom commercial real estate data model covering properties, listings, leases, transactions, and contacts with full relationship mapping. A custom deal pipeline tracked every transaction from prospecting through closing with stage-gated milestones, commission calculations, and probability-weighted forecasting. MuleSoft integrated CoStar market data for real-time property analytics and comparable transactions. Document generation via Conga produced branded pitch books, market surveys, and offering memorandums in minutes. An Experience Cloud client portal gave investors and tenants access to property listings, deal documents, and market reports. Tableau dashboards provided leadership with pipeline visibility, broker performance metrics, and commission forecasts.

+22%
Revenue Growth

Better market intelligence, faster deal execution, and reduced administrative burden drove 22% year-over-year revenue growth.

Our brokers were sitting on billions in deal flow that nobody else could see. AQBEE gave us a CRM that speaks commercial real estate — properties, leases, comps, and commissions are all native. Our pitch books now take 20 minutes instead of a full day, and for the first time, I can see our entire pipeline in real time. Revenue is up 22%, and our brokers actually like using the system.
