Every year it’s an inevitability- budget season, when property owners and managers nationwide begin the planning process. We’ve previously discussed how, as the property management industry becomes increasingly data-driven, owners and asset managers are placing more emphasis on allocating larger portions of their budgets towards tech that leverages the latest innovations to produce results. These manifest in the bottom line, as well as intangible, but equally important metrics, such as tenant engagement and satisfaction.
Every year it’s an inevitability- budget season, when property owners and managers nationwide begin the planning process. We’ve previously discussed how, as the property management industry becomes increasingly data-driven, owners and asset managers are placing more emphasis on allocating larger portions of their budgets towards tech that leverages the latest innovations to produce results. These manifest in the bottom line, as well as intangible, but equally important metrics, such as tenant engagement and satisfaction.
Tech also has the capacity to facilitate and provide
insights during the budgeting process. Using technologically sophisticated budgeting
tools helps owners and managers stay organized, streamline operations and
ultimately generate the kind of data that strengthens decision-making. Taking
innovations from the past decades to new levels, technology continues to enable
more comprehensive analysis, generate accurate long-term forecasting and help
commercial property entities work more efficiently, with the benefits of
reduced risk, portfolio growth and profitability.
“Tech is great, but it has to be east to implement,
ready on day one, and must have a compelling value proposition,” says
TIAA-College Retirement Equities Fund senior director of asset management Brad
Simpkins. Some research suggests property owners often fail to properly or
sufficiently introduce new technology to their staff. Whether adding new
software or new systems, upgrading current technologies or switching vendors,
developing a training program that reduces disruptions is critical to
successfully integrating new technology at a property. Building teams able to
quickly acquire and exploit new technology will help companies gain a
competitive advantage in the market and become better equipped to handle shifts
in tenant demands.
