A Guided Onboarding Experience That Gets Your Team Live in 4 Weeks

Software implementations in real estate have a reputation: months of setup, unclear timelines, and teams that quietly revert to Excel. Alasco's onboarding is built to avoid every one of those failure modes—with a structured, four-week process that gets your team confident and productive from day one.

Onboarding That Feels Effortless From Start to Finish

The biggest implementation risk isn't technical—it's adoption. Teams resist change when software feels complicated, unfamiliar, or disconnected from how they actually work. Alasco eliminates these barriers with guided setup, role-specific training, and early wins that prove value before scepticism sets in.

Simple guidance at every step

No guessing what comes next. Your Customer Enablement Manager provides clear milestones and check-ins throughout the process, so your team always knows exactly where they are and what's required.

Set up support that removes manual work

Alasco configures your budget structure, workflows, permissions, and approval chains. We import your data using standardised templates. Your team reviews and refines—never built from scratch.

A fully prepared workspace from day one

Cost structures, budget templates, and project data are ready before training begins. Your team logs into a working environment, not an empty platform they need to figure out.

Training designed specifically for each role

Generic software training wastes time and loses attention. Alasco delivers focused, role-specific sessions: project controllers learn cost controlling, finance teams learn invoice workflows, and asset managers learn portfolio dashboards. Each user learns only what they need.

Early wins that build confidence

The fastest way to overcome adoption resistance is to prove value quickly. Within weeks, teams see faster approvals, clearer reporting, and fewer manual workarounds. Early wins create momentum that carries through rollout.

Your Four-Week Path to Go Live

Long implementations fail because they try to solve everything at once. Alasco's four-week process focuses on what matters: getting your team live with the workflows they need, then expanding from there.

WEEK 1

Accounts, projects, and workflows set up for you

Provide your project structure, team roles, and approval requirements. Alasco configures your workspace, imports existing data, and prepares your environment—so you're not starting from zero.

WEEK 2

Review and adjust project structures together

Take CapEx planning as an example - property managers, ESG managers, and facilities managers all make suggestions. Asset managers have to collate and bundle them, then run them up the chain to the investment managers, then secure the funds, allocate the funds, track execution, and report. All this is manual, all this is via Excel and email. Cost controlling is also manual.

WEEK 3

Focused training and preparation for go-live

Role-specific training sessions prepare each team member for their workflows. Controllers learn budget tracking. Project managers learn invoice routing. Finance learns the cash outflow planning. Everyone practices in your actual workspace with your real data.

WEEK 4

Go live with support available whenever you need it

Launch with the Alasco team ready to respond. Questions answered quickly. Issues resolved same-day. The support continues as long as you need it—you're never abandoned after go-live.

What Life Looks Like Once You Are Fully Live

The manual work disappears. Invoice approvals route automatically. Budget variances surface in real time—not weeks after the damage is done. Finance teams stop chasing PDFs through email. Project controllers stop rebuilding Excel reports every month.

When a UK investment manager digitised their invoice and budget tracking with Alasco, they cut manual reporting time by 50%. Their CFO now walks into bank meetings and pulls up budget versus actuals, cash flow trends, and cost forecasts at a click—instead of spending hours consolidating spreadsheets beforehand.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Started

These questions cover the most common considerations teams have before beginning onboarding.

Who from our team needs to be involved in onboarding?

We advise that these roles are present for the onboarding:

  • Project managers/controllers who will use the system daily

  • Finance/accounting team members

  • A designated Alasco administrator who will manage user permissions, workflows, and master data

  • A few members from other impacted teams, such as investment managers, portfolio managers, or external project managers

What information or documents do we need to provide before onboarding begins?

We'll need your project structure, budget templates, contractor lists, and any existing data you want imported (invoices, contracts, cost breakdowns). Alasco provides standardised import templates to simplify data collection.

How much time will onboarding require from us each week?

Most teams spend 2-4 hours per week during the four-week process. The heaviest lift is gathering initial project data; after that, sessions are focused and efficient.

What does Alasco handle for us during setup?

We configure your workspace, set up approval workflows, import your data, create project templates, and establish role-based permissions. Your team reviews and adjusts—we handle the configuration work.

Can we start using Alasco with a small group first, then expand?

Yes. Many teams begin with a pilot project or single team before rolling out across the portfolio. Alasco's unlimited user pricing means you can expand without per-seat cost surprises.

What support will we receive once we go live?

You'll have a dedicated Account Manager for commercial questions and a Customer Enablement Manager for day-to-day technical support. The Alasco Help Center, webinars, and in-app guidance provide self-service resources. Additionally, our support team responds quickly when you need direct help.

“Our onboarding was super organised and structured according to a clear roadmap. The data import also worked very well from a technical point of view. We particularly appreciate the ongoing support, as we have dedicated contact persons even after the onboarding and project set-up.”
