Hullmark Stories
Centralized portfolio financials and hardened IT security protect investor capital while accelerating decision-making.
At Hullmark, technology is a core piece of the puzzle. Behind every development and stabilized asset is a digital framework designed to safeguard capital, maintain data accuracy, and give investment partners immediate clarity on performance.
Hullmark manages its development, asset management, operations, and financial reporting all on Yardi Voyager. We place significant importance on maintaining all information within a single, centralized environment as opposed to disparate, disconnected spreadsheets. We're continuously deploying and investing in targeted Yardi modules to unify operations across every property in the portfolio.
"By standardizing on one Yardi platform, everything connects - turning fragmented work into one efficient system."
- Robert Gatchell, Director of Finance, Operations, Hullmark
Precision in reporting requires strict data integrity at every step. Every metric, from property-level net operating income to portfolio-wide variance tracking, is continuously logged with a complete audit trail. This level of discipline provides institutional partners with immediate clarity, total transparency, and reliable data for strategic decision-making.
Financial precision relies on secure infrastructure. Hullmark retained PBNJ Consulting, a Toronto-based managed IT services provider, to secure and maintain the networks housing its financial data, tenant records, and corporate operations.
PBNJ implements multi-layered security protocols designed to meet institutional standards. This infrastructure keeps core accounting servers and cloud environments operational and protected against modern cybersecurity threats.
"Our job is to give Hullmark enterprise-grade network security, automated monitoring, and zero-trust access controls."
- Andy Krsic, PBNJ Consulting
PBNJ manages several critical layers for Hullmark:
Managed Detection & Response (MDR): Endpoint monitoring and automated threat isolation operate around the clock to stop unauthorized access attempts.
Identity & Access Control: Role-based access and enforced multi-factor authentication protect investor registers and wire instruction processes.
Data Redundancy & Recovery: Immutable cloud backups and redundant failovers prevent data loss from system outages or local hardware failures.
This framework prevents any technical downtime, protects client data from evolving threats, and maintains system uptime across every phase of the investment lifecycle. By treating IT infrastructure as an established pillar of risk management rather than an administrative task, internal teams stay focused on active asset management, project execution, and delivering long-term value to investors.
