Property Management 2.0: Unleashing AI’s True Capabilities

Technology and more specifically AI have been making waves in the property management industry. As multi-faceted as the property management industry is, digitalizing it has unlocked insurmountable value for property management businesses. According to a survey conducted, implementation of the right technology can yield 800% ROI in digital property management.

Digital Property Management System (PMS) builds a cohesive network of the right technologies and the property management toolkit which allows managers a unified view of their properties. It also enables tenants to have streamlined lease or rent experiences. Do you know one of the top reason why tenants avoid renewing a rental contract is inefficient management. However, AI-enabled property management is a popular choice among business owners and property managers, due to its value-driven and amplified results.

This blog explores how Artificial Intelligence has been revolutionizing property management systems but first let’s delve into the capabilities of Property Management Systems.

What are Property Management Systems?

Property management systems are holistic business management solutions which allow users to seamlessly manage their properties in the real estate industry. A PMS effectively digitizes viewing, leases, taxes, and other aspects that come with managing properties. Used extensively in the real estate industry, a PMS is usually customized according to user requirements and employs latest technologies like data analytics, AI, and cloud computing. Listed below are some key attributes which enable PMS to intelligently provide property management capabilities.

• Cloud-based PMS allow users to manage geographically disparate properties from a single place in a flexible, secure, and agile manner.
• A PMS comes with integrated channel management which expertly automates distributing properties to third-party real-estate channels.
• A PMS with multi-language setup empowers managers to localize their properties and deal with clients without a language barrier.

How is AI Revolutionizing Property Management?

AI is at the heart of an overdue yet rapid digital transformation of property management in the real estate industry. The pandemic highlighted process disparities that caused property businesses to face huge losses which fueled the need for AI-powered digital transformation. In property management, AI has exhibited endless potential to carry out processes and provide cost and time efficient property management experience. Here are some facets of property management which have been reshaped by AI integration:

Automated Tenant Screening: AI can be used to carry out an essential facet of property management, i.e., screening tenants by analyzing their credit scores and histories to gauge if they meet the eligibility criteria. This automation can massively aid property managers to take quick decisions.

Predictive Maintenance: With the concept of smart buildings on the rise, IoT and ML-led predictive maintenance is being employed by PMS to allow property owners to remotely monitor and maintain buildings. Buildings, equipped with sensors, send their data to predictive models, which analyze it to predict maintenance needs. This predictive maintenance also aids in tenant safety.

Automated Rent Collection: Rent collection is a major headache for most property owners but automating it can make the entire process stress free. It enables them to collect rent through electronic means such as online portals, direct debits, bank transfers etc.

Personalized Tenant Experiences: With rising competition, it has become imperative to retain tenants through customized tenant experiences. AI is being used to extract customer preferences and curate personalized experiences for each tenant, based on their interests. Customized notifications and personalized amenities are some ways to provide personalized experiences to both long and short-term tenants.

Automated Documentation: AI can efficiently automate the process of documentation and data entry, which if done manually are tedious tasks. Users can create, store, and retrieve documents with just a few. Generative AI and other ML models like topic modelling and semantic analysis can be used to extract relevant information from documents like contracts and rental agreements and can be stored efficiently. Moreover, users can also fetch relevant data from a plethora of documents using AI too.

Benefits of AI-Powering Your Property Management System

Getting your implementation partner to customize your PMS with AI innovations brings about value-driven benefits like:

1. Cost Efficiency: AI enables users to do more in limited resources which can positively impact costs. AI also enhances cost efficiency by automating repetitive tasks and minimizing the need for human intervention.
2. Actionable Insights: By employing data analysis and prediction models, AI can empower business strategies with the help of intelligent data analytics on historical and customer/tenant data. Property businesses can identify tenant pain points and work to mitigate them for an unparalleled customer experience.
3. Intelligent Data Security: Businesses and property owners can protect tenant data using machine learning algorithms’ foolproof incident detection capabilities for protection against ransomware and phishing attacks.
4. Heightened Tenant Retention: AI’s use in customer support provision can induce customer loyalty and enable businesses to provide automated customer support with no wait-times.
