Property management — Automation for property management companies
Tenants and homeowners call at all hours, maintenance requests arrive by every channel, and vendor bills and owner reports pile up at month-end. These are the parts software can take over, with managers, owners and boards still deciding repairs, approvals and anything about a lease. 44 automations fit, each with an example and workflow written for property management.
