Coyote Software (Coyote Group Ltd)
Coyote Software is a UK-based commercial real estate (CRE) technology company that provides a cloud-based property asset management and deal tracking platform. Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Coyote was officially launched as an independent entity in 2017, having evolved from a proprietary system developed over several years within M7 Real Estate.
The company was co-founded by Oli Farago (CEO) and Andy Jenkins to address a systemic issue in the commercial property sector: the fragmentation and siloing of critical property data across multiple legacy systems, spreadsheets, and emails. Coyote serves as a centralized hub that aggregates, visualizes, and helps execute real estate transactions and asset management strategies.

Core Business and Philosophy
Commercial real estate investment and asset management historically rely on disconnected systems. Property management databases (such as Yardi, MRI, or Tramps) hold financial and tenancy data, while acquisitions teams track potential purchases in spreadsheets, and market data is scattered across regional teams.
Coyote operates as an overlay system. It integrates with existing property management databases and market data sources via APIs, bringing all relevant property, tenancy, financial, and pipeline data into a single, intuitive interface. This enables real estate professionals to make faster, data-driven decisions throughout the entire lifecycle of an asset—from initial sourcing and underwriting to ongoing management and eventual disposal.
Products and Services
Coyote offers a modular software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform tailored to different stages of the real estate investment lifecycle. The platform is divided into core functional areas:
1. Coyote Pipeline (Acquisitions)
Coyote Pipeline is designed for acquisitions and investment teams to manage their deal flow. It replaces manual spreadsheets with a digital pipeline tracking tool.
* Deal Log & Tracking: Users can log and track new investment opportunities from introduction through to completion or rejection.
* Digital Deal Sheets: Centralizes key metrics of a potential acquisition, such as purchase price, yield, cap rate, and initial underwriting assumptions.
* Collaboration Tools: Allows teams to assign tasks, share notes, upload site plans, and collaborate on underwriting files within the specific deal profile.
* Analytics and Reporting: Generates pipeline reports showing deal sources, geographic distribution, asset classes, and conversion rates, helping funds analyze their origination channels.
2. Coyote Asset
Coyote Asset is designed for asset managers and fund managers to monitor and optimize the performance of their active portfolios.
* Live Integration with Property Management Systems: Coyote syncs directly with industry-standard property management systems (PMS) like Yardi, Qube, MRI, and Re-Leased. This ensures that tenancy data, rent rolls, and financial metrics are updated automatically without manual data entry.
* Performance Dashboards: Provides visual summaries of key portfolio metrics, including vacancy rates, weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT), rent collection status, and covenant strengths.
* Lease Event Tracking: Alerts asset managers to upcoming lease expiries, rent reviews, and break options, allowing them to proactively manage tenant relationships and mitigate vacancy risk.
* Capex Monitoring: Tracks capital expenditure projects against budgets at both the individual asset level and across the broader portfolio.
3. Coyote Market
Coyote Market acts as a repository for market intelligence and comparable data (comps).
* Comparable Evidence Database: Enables users to record and search lease and sale comparables. This data can be tagged by location, asset class, size, and price, providing immediate context when evaluating new deals or negotiating rent reviews.
* Geographical Mapping: Integrates mapping tools to visualize where existing assets, pipeline deals, and market comparables sit geographically, helping teams spot regional trends and clusters.
Technical Integration and Ecosystem
A defining feature of Coyote is its open integration policy. Rather than attempting to replace established accounting and property management software, Coyote acts as a collaborative layer. The platform relies heavily on its integration ecosystem:
- Property Management Systems (PMS): Continuous data synchronization with systems like MRI Software, Yardi Systems, Tramps, and Re-Leased.
- Valuation and Underwriting Software: Integrations with underwriting tools (such as Argus Enterprise) allow users to push and pull cash flow models directly into Coyote.
- Third-Party Data Providers: Integrations with regional data providers allow users to enrich their internal property data with external demographic, environmental, and market data.
Target Audience
Coyote’s platform is built for mid-to-large-scale commercial real estate organizations, including:
* Institutional Real Estate Investors: Managing large, multi-sector portfolios requiring consolidated reporting.
* Private Equity Real Estate Firms: Needing rapid analysis of acquisition pipelines and swift execution of business plans.
* Asset Management Firms: Requiring granular visibility into tenant activities, lease structures, and physical asset performance.
* Managing Agents & Property Managers: Looking to streamline the flow of operational data to their clients and investors.
