"BFT. Property" (the previous name is SAUMI-WEB, Saumi Software Complex (PC)) is an automated system for managing state and municipal property with the ability to adapt to the requirements of regional and local legislation, ensuring increased efficiency and quality of managing the land and property complex.
2022: Module "Integration with State Post"
On November 28, 2022, BFT-Holding announced the modernization of the BFT Property software complex. The system implements the Integration with State Post module, which allows you to send correspondence to tenants in electronic form, as well as the subsystem for identifying copyright holders of previously registered objects. The functionality allows customers to simplify interaction with tenants and property owners, as well as automate a number of time-consuming business processes.
The BFT Property software package (formerly SAUMI-WEB) is an automated system that provides accounting and management of state and municipal property with the ability to adapt to the requirements of regional and local legislation. The main users of the solution are regional and municipal authorities for property management, balance holders and accountable organizations. The system allows you to organize a single information space for all participants in the property management process. Its application helps to organize centralized management of the land and property complex throughout the region.
As part of the project to modernize the solution, updated software services were implemented - exchange data with, Russian Post as well as a subsystem for identifying the copyright holder of previously registered objects. The first part of the project to modernize the system was the ability to exchange data with the Post. Russia So, in the system "BFT. Property" the module "Integration with State Post" was implemented, which works in conjunction with the service "Russian E-mail Post. Thanks to the module, users of the solution can now perform mass preparation and sending of letters in electronic form, as well as implement automatic tracking of delivery and delivery of sent letters to the addressee.
The prerequisite for the development of the module was the practice of document management that has developed in this area. Thus, the total volume of registered correspondence related to property management in all municipalities is hundreds of thousands of letters per year in only one subject of the Russian Federation. The main categories of letters that require mass mailing are annual rent indexation notices, claims letters with the need to pay off debt, as well as receipts for payment. All this flow of documentation is often prepared on paper, which entails significant costs for consumables. During the current business process, employees of departments manually prepare letters and transmit them to the Russian Post, which requires additional time to prepare and execute all correspondence.
This opportunity in the BFT. Property system will help employees of regional and municipal authorities prepare and transmit letters to Russian Post JSC immediately in electronic format. The system implements batch processing of letters, with the help of which the user can select a list of necessary contracts and launch a mass operation on them. For example, for a business scenario such as indexing calculation, the system will form a printed form and create a notification for the lessor in PDF format. Based on this data, thousands of emails will automatically be generated in several clicks, which, after signing, can be transferred to the Russian Post. Further, those tenants who use the delivery services of Gospocht emails on the Public services portal will automatically receive electronic notifications from the lessor in their personal account at the EPGU. Those counterparties who do not use State Post will receive letters in the standard way - in paper form.
Another update in the BFT Property system is the implementation of the subsystem for identifying copyright holders of previously registered objects. The prerequisite for the development of the subsystem was FZ No. 518, which obliges local authorities of the regions to carry out work to identify the owners of real estate objects and send relevant information to the property rights registration body. It is impossible to purchase real estate without registering changes in ownership in Rosreestr, but this rule of the law entered into force only on January 1, 1998. According to experts (Data for November 2022), there are millions of objects in Russia, the ownership of which arose before this period, but the owners did not register their ownership.
This subsystem helps to maintain a register of previously registered real estate objects, import data received from FTS both Rosreestr and prepare a pool of objects for which it is necessary to take measures to identify copyright holders. The system will allow sending requests for such information also to the MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS registry office, the Federal Tax RPF Service and notaries. All this will help the authorities state authorities collect the necessary information about where the land plots and other real estate objects are located and to whom they belong, as well as send the necessary set of documents to Rosreestr for inclusion in. FSIS USRN
Centralizing the processes of state and municipal property management is an important task that the region sets itself on the path of digital transformation. The development of specialized information systems can help solve this problem. The BFT Property software package harmoniously fits into the IT infrastructure of the state authority and helps to conduct full-fledged accounting of property and all operations related to it. The solution helps to optimize the use of resources used in the processes of state property management, and provides specialists with reliable tools for collecting and analyzing information, commented Grigory Vaysman, Director of the Asset Management Directorate of BFT-Holding.

Important changes were also made to the functionality for accounting for the participation of municipalities in the authorized (folding) capital of business companies or partnerships: an additional typification of share issue operations was introduced, as well as operations to increase the authorized (folding) capital of companies with equity participation. The changes made make it possible to significantly expand the opportunities for accounting for participation in the authorized (share) capital and bring it in line with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation.
SAUMI 4.9i has updated a number of operating characteristics to improve system comfort and efficiency. These changes allow users to: change the structure of the building by simply "dragging" the objects included in it with the mouse; see in the properties window of the base objects of legal relations drawn up on them and see the protocol of all detected violations; change the lifetime of non-BTI objects selected in the building structure; Sort the data in the Calculation Factor Manager tables by any columns.
Simultaneously with the SAUMI PC update, a new software module "Electronic Reporting 2.0 (Web version)" was released, designed to collect reports from reporting organizations in electronic form. This module will be available to SAUMI 4.9i and higher users if they wish to extend the functionality of the updated solution.
A distinctive feature of the module "Electronic reporting 2.0 (Web version)" is the ability of accountable organizations to use a modern and convenient Web interface for entering data, which eliminates the need to install additional programs - a regular Web browser is sufficient for operation. The module allows accountable organizations not only to see the property recorded for them on the right of operational management and economic management, but also to make changes in the characteristics of objects as of a certain date, as well as to indicate information on the balance sheet and decommissioned property for the reporting period. At the same time, employees of the Committee for State (Municipal) Property Management - users of the SAUM PC - have the right to exercise control in terms of checking the correctness and reliability of the information entered: they can accept and save the changes made by the reporting organization to the SAUMI database or reject it, sending it for revision.
"The new SAUMI version 4.9i meets not only the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, but also takes into account the wishes of our Customers. Constant contact with specialists in the field of accounting and management of municipal and state property throughout the Russian Federation allows BFT to develop the system in accordance with the requirements and needs of its real users. It was at the request of our Clients that the new version of SAUMI implemented the ability to audit user actions, "said Pavel Burykin, head of the SAUMI PC production center.
