Advantages
Fast, Easy and Accurate - Land's speed and inherent ease of use means that the land buyer can try many alternative scenarios and assumptions rapidly to determine the best and most profitable land bid.
Better Decision Support - Consistent data and methods reduce the likelihood of errors and omissions in the land study while 'what if' questions can be answered quickly and confidently at any stage of the development process. Consistent determination of financial targets, such as ROCE, IRR and NPV allow better decisions on, and between, competing projects or project options.
Security and Authorisation - Commercially sensitive data can be given authorised entry controls. Methods and assumptions can be agreed and protected from ad-hoc changes. Sign off procedures can be introduced, monitored and enforced by the system.
High Quality In-depth Reporting - Presentation of the land appraisal is of the highest quality and dependability while reporting is in-depth to the level of analysis required for study, board authorisation or financial sanction.

Automated Forecasts - The forecasting functionality allows Land Viability cash flows to be
updated with actual costs, revenues and progress from other SiteStream modules in near real-time.
Future cash flows can be re-forecast based on current progress and any changes to the development
plan. Using the same basic format as the Land component, a direct comparison is possible between
the original investment appraisal, operating budgets and actual up-to-date Forecasts. The forecast
part of the cash flow can be subjected to ‘what if’ scenario assumptions as options for the balance
of the site are considered. Changes in cash flow and profit are tracked over the life of a project
giving invaluable feedback on the operating performance of against targets and a true picture of the
cost to complete for each site.
