AI suggestions for tenants
When representing a tenant, it would be useful if Kato could use AI to suggest locations, building types, spec, size etc. based on that tenant’s characteristics - then auto create a requirement based on that and suggest matching spaces.
Fee Split - Internal
It would be great if this could pick up multiple agents rather than multiple teams. In reality, fees are split by agent not generally teams. This would greatly help with a project we are trying to get up and running. If it isn’t in place we will have to use another system and I’d prefer to keep this all in one place and not create duplication. I’d appreciate it if your project team could make this a priority. Thanks Aoife
Property & Contact Types
Hi, please consider adding an offers and bidding schedule. Add contact types as accountant, tax advisor and building surveyor. Please add property type as EV Sites
Match requests
Please can you bring back the feature where you can comment on sent match requests? For internal record keeping
Automatically create comps from a disposal or property
I can create a comp schedule from a disposal showing similar properties which are available. It would be useful to have similar functionality where the system generates lease or sale comps based on the disposal data. E.g. if the building is in Bank and has 2,000 sq ft fitted office floors, there is an option to view all leases (internal & Atlas) within a 3 mile radius which also have similar characteristics.
Share enquires with Agent
I was wondering if it could be created a way to share new enquiries directly with the agent responsible for the property. At the moment, every time I add a new enquiry in Kato, I need to send a separate email to the agent. I can see there is a “Share with Landlord” button—would it be possible to have a similar option that sends the enquiry directly to the agent?
Schedule Send
Could you add a schedule send option for enquiries? At times I would prefer requirements emails to be sent in the morning rather than the evening, as this tends to generate a better response and engagement from purchasers.
Improve the App
It would be really valuable to improve the speed and usability of the Kato mobile app. A lot of agents rely on Kato while they’re out of the office, particularly when managing Interest Schedules during viewings or when on site. At the moment, the app is slow and clunky to navigate, which makes these workflows harder to manage on the go. Improving the app’s performance and making key workflows, especially Interest Schedules, quicker and easier to use would make a big difference to agents using Kato day to day.
Ability to export a tenancy schedule in Property view
Often I need to export a tenancy schedule to Excel to run further analysis. Currently the stacking plan can only be viewed in the UI and there is no export option. Ideally it would export to PDF and Excel
Filter by tenant in 'Leases' and 'Property' View
When negotiating Leases, it is critical to be able to see all current leases for that particular tenant in other buildings and the terms they are paying. E.g. if we are negotiating a rent review with ‘Apple’, I need to be able to quickly see all properties we have in Kato where ‘Apple’ are a tenant, so I can review the terms.
Clearer visibility on subleases in Property view
There is no way of detecting whether a lease is a sublease in properties view. A space can be let to a tenant, who then sublets it to another tenant. Currently, the property does not highlight which is the head lease and which is the sublease. If it is a sublease, the text should read ‘sub-let to X’ to make it clear.
Filter by lease expiry on properties page
On the properties page, it would be useful to be able to filter for all properties which have a lease expiry in a certain year. When filtering to find relevant properties, this a key data point so it should be searchable. Ideally the filters on the ‘leases’ index page should be replicated in ‘Properties’.
Add a new field in Leases and Sales called 'Transaction Source'
Currently, the transaction source option within ‘Management’ section shows the same options as ‘Source of Requirement’. However, the source of a transaction (e.g. when adding market intel) differs from the source of a requirement. Therefore the transaction should have two options: ‘source of requirement’ which is pre-populated with the source of the initial enquiry. Source of Transaction details. The options should be as follows: Heads of Terms Atlas People Soft First-Hand Competitor Society Forum Media Publishing Tenancy schedule Other
Show Min and Max rent in Client Login
When creating a client login, only the maximum rent is displayed. We need to show the full rent range, including the minimum rent, to provide tenants with accurate information.
Show the Correct Agent Details on Client Logins
When a secondary agent creates a client login through an availability schedule, the login only displays the lead agent’s contact details. This can result in occupiers contacting the wrong person. It would be helpful for the login to display the details of the agent who created it or show both the lead and secondary agent’s contact details.
Enable Viewings for Society Requirements
It would be really valuable to have the ability to create and manage Viewings against Society Requirements, in the same way that users can for in-house Requirements.
Allow Sub-Categories Within Accommodation Tables
Clients would like greater flexibility when creating accommodation tables by being able to break down a single unit into multiple space types, rather than only displaying a single total area. For example: Unit Industrial Storage Office Total Unit 1 3,733 sq ft 436 sq ft 842 sq ft 5,011 sq ft This would allow agents to accurately represent mixed-use units where the total floor area is made up of different space types (e.g. Industrial, Warehouse, Storage, Office, Mezzanine, Ancillary, Showroom, etc.)
