How InDevCo achieved ROI in under 3 months with multi-entity accounting

The challenge: QuickBooks couldn't keep up with growth

Logging in and out of dozens of entities was wasting time

InDevCo began searching for a new accounting solution as the number of real estate properties in their portfolio grew exponentially. With each new development, three additional entities were created—quickly adding up to dozens of companies. QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) couldn’t scale with this growth. Users were forced to log in and out of separate databases just to update financial information, leading to inefficiencies and wasted time reconciling numbers across systems.

InDevCo needed a more scalable solution to manage their expanding portfolio. “I first came across Gravity when our company only had about 20 entities,” says Rette Rankin, Controller at InDevCo. “As our business continued to grow, I was working inefficiently to keep up with each entity in QuickBooks. I was logging in and out of programs, wasting valuable time. It got to the point where I nearly hired another accountant just to keep up with the workload. We needed a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), web-based system that could handle our growing portfolio—and selecting Gravity Software saved the day.”

The solution: Cloud-based multi-entity accounting

One login, real-time data, and seamless consolidation

Gravity Software proposed a cloud-based, multi-entity accounting solution that streamlined InDevCo’s operations immediately. Instead of logging into separate company files, users could now access all entities with a single login—dramatically improving efficiency and accuracy.

With Gravity, InDevCo could:

These features gave InDevCo’s team instant visibility across their portfolio. Reports that once required hours of manual work were now available on demand—consolidated, accurate, and ready for review. The time and effort saved equated to the workload of an additional staff member—without having to hire one.

The result: ROI in 3 months, no additional staff needed

Real-time insights, automated intercompany transactions

After implementing Gravity Software, InDevCo quickly saw measurable results. They now manage over 75 entities in a single database with just one login. The software’s powerful reporting and automation capabilities meant that no additional staff were needed—even as the company continued to scale.

“The implementation was fantastic,” says Rankin. “I was initially apprehensive about managing so many companies and being the sole person on our team responsible for implementation. But John Silvani [Gravity’s founder] was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. We had the entire system up and running in under two months.”

With Gravity’s custom dashboards and advanced report writer, InDevCo gained deeper visibility into their operations. Reports that used to take hours to compile were now available in seconds—helping leadership make faster, more informed decisions. Compared to hiring another full-time accountant, Gravity delivered a return on investment in less than three months.
