Property owners have a lot on their plates. From hiring the right managers to vacancies to compliance with local, state, and federal laws, it seems that the merry-go-round of multifamily property ownership never stops. The good news is that property operations software can help.
More than just for property managers, property operations software is designed to make your life easier. It’s designed to help with routine tasks like collecting rent payments and handling maintenance requests. It also lets you maintain resident records and run reports, which are always helpful at month-end and during budget season. Let’s take a look at some reasons an owner like you would want to consider HappyCo as your data-driven property operations software.
1. It turns daily property operations activities into actionable data.
A good property operations system can help you automate, capture, and track everything happening in your building. It will churn out this data as immediate alerts and trend reports, and help you make smarter, quicker decisions. HappyCo takes that data and converts it into actionable, structured information that ownership groups can use to support business decisions, benchmark performance and effectuate improvements across their entire portfolio. Whether it’s Make Ready or Preventative Maintenance, Call Management, or Curb Appeal, the right software can ensure that as your team is working, they’re also gathering robust, detailed data about property and unit conditions.
2. It plays well with your existing tech stack.
Most all-in-one solutions are somewhat limited when it comes to essential property operations like inspections, work order management, and call management. There are things to consider when more customization, capability, or configuration is needed.
Does the toolset you’re evaluating offer advanced features like:
- A multifamily template library with best-in-class inspection forms that ensure consistency across your entire portfolio?
- A simple, engaging interface with an intuitive design that makes it easy for your team to get the job done faster?
- Seamless work orders that can be automatically created from inspection results or missed emergency maintenance calls?
- Smarter schedules and assignments that can be created for cadenced inspections and easily assigned to staff?
- Easy and fast data exploration that instantly understands property costs, item conditions, staff performance, and more?
HappyCo offers all these features in its toolset and more.
