1. Build vs Buy Real Estate CRM

   November 21, 2023 8:34 am Comments Off on Build vs Buy Real Estate CRM

   The advancement of technology in real estate has transformed the industry and significantly boosted transactional values. What was considered to be a ‘brick and mortar’ business setup has taken giant strides over the last decade with software for literally every real estate function. Be it investments, acquisitions, sales, leasing, property management, facilities management, finance, or operations – there’s software for everything. As companies embrace technology, a common dilemma is – Build vs Buy Real Estate CRM Software.

   In this blog, we will talk specifically about CRM and Property Management Software.

   • The Pros and Cons of Deploying a Ready Solution vs Building one from scratch.
   • Leveraging Universal Technology Platforms vs using Proprietary Solutions.
   • Technical vs Business Benefits and Challenges of either Scenario.
   • How a combination of Build and Buy empowers organizations.

   

   Build vs Buy Real Estate CRM

   Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software has become an indispensable tool for managing leads, streamlining operations, and maximizing profits. The very definition of CRM has evolved from merely ‘managing customers’ to creating a ‘customer experience’ – all while making life easier for the users of the software. When it comes to implementing solutions, real estate professionals face a crucial decision: should they build a custom CRM system or buy an off-the-shelf solution?

   This decision depends on multiple factors like the budget, the size of the company, the complexity of the processes, the requirements, etc. The larger the organization, the more the complexities in the processes. Naturally, the higher the budget, the more the affordability for tier 1 global solutions. Similarly, if the requirement is short-term, it is preferable to buy, whereas if it’s a long-term project, investments may be made to build a solution over a period of time.

   A. Building a Custom Software

   Apart from a sense of control, custom-built real estate CRM software lends personal comfort to the IT team managing the solution. However, having the entire responsibility of handling each aspect across support, upgrades, enhancement, customization, integration, etc. poses a stiff challenge. Let’s discuss some of those points in detail:

   A1. Steps in Building a Custom CRM:

   • Define Objectives: Clearly outline the goals to be achieved and determine the key features needed.
   • Research and Requirement Gathering: Analyse the challenges and pain points of the potential users of the software to offer the right solution. From there, identify the functionalities to be included across property marketing to lead management.
   • Selecting Technology: Choose the programming language and frameworks for the development of the solution.
   • Development Phase: Create sample UIs and wireframes to visualize the solution before building and designing features involving coding, database development, and testing.
   • Integrations: Managing third-party integrations with apps and platforms like property listing services, marketing solutions, ERP systems, etc.
   • Customization: Depending on requirements – features and workflows may need to be added.
   • User Training: Training the team members to effectively input and retrieve data in the CRM.
   • Supporting Functions: Security, testing, back-ups, maintenance, data migration, compliance, etc. for the smooth functioning of a CRM also need to be addressed.

   

   A2. Pros of Custom-Built Software:

   Tailorable: A custom solution accommodates the specific business requirements of the team with the flexibility to include essential features. Moreover, any additional changes can be configured and applied to the CRM.

   Lack of Dependency: A home-grown system is manageable internally without the need to consult vendors or third-party consultants. This allows more control over the development and customization of the solution.

   Data Ownership: There is more ownership and control over data. This becomes particularly important for managing sensitive client information.

   User Adoption: Building a custom CRM allows for targeted training programs that specifically align with the system’s functionalities. This can result in quicker adoption and proficiency among users. Building CRM also allows easier addition/removal of features as needed to accommodate the changing requirements of the business.

   A3. Cons of a Custom-Built Real Estate CRM Software:

   Time-Consuming: Building a CRM from scratch takes months and even years right from ideation to development to launch. The collective efforts cumulate to a significant investment, both in terms of time and money.

   Expensive: Apart from the initial investment and cost to develop the solution, the opportunity cost of building a CRM is quite substantial. Hiring developers, designers, and technical experts to maintain the systems are all costs to account for.

   Over-Burdened IT Team: For an organization that manages multiple applications, the entire responsibility of CRM is overwhelming for the internal team. Managing processes across development, customization, testing, and maintenance is a challenge.

   Disparate Applications Ecosystem: Custom applications often are harder to integrate with third-party applications in an organization. In the absence of an integrated solution landscape, siloed data and information lead to data duplication and inaccurate reporting.

   

   B. Buying a Real Estate CRM Software

   When purchased from a trusted vendor, the software eases a lot of the responsibilities of the internal team. Not only would it offer an industry-standard solution, but also a narrower implementation time frame. While buying a solution, a company can choose proprietary software or a powerful technology platform like Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, etc. with a vertical real estate solution.

   The very idea of an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) like Property-xRM is that it provides industry-specific functionalities that are custom-built and ready to deploy for real estate organizations.

   Let’s dive deep into some of the key points in detail:

   B1. Pros of Buying Real Estate CRM:

   Rapid Deployment: An off-the-shelf Real Estate CRM can be implemented in double quick time, allowing users to start benefitting from the features and functionalities almost immediately. Experienced real estate CRM implementors like Metadata Technologies can also partner in your projects with industry best practice suggestions.

   Support and Updates: Buying a Real Estate CRM will also offer support plans from the implementing partner to resolve any issues in the system. Platform-related updates and enhancements will become part of the CRM on a periodic basis. This, in turn, ensures improved security and scalability.

   Credible Solutions: Commercially used Real Estate CRMs bring in a sense of reliability being adopted previously in the market. A proven track record in the industry and referenceable clients for a product are confidence boosters for an organization.

   Industry-Standard Features: Ready-to-use solutions come with a set of out-of-the-box functionalities for the industry. For instance, inventory management in real estate is unique and a highly important component that could be readily utilized by companies.

   Scalability: Purchasing enterprise-level CRM software allows easier scalability as organizations can quickly onboard a large number of users with little effort.

   B2. Cons of Buying Real Estate CRM

   Learning and Knowledge Transfer: Making a transition to a new software can be challenging if the system in question is complex. The system interface and usability are key factors to consider. However, world-class solutions like Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 are considered fairly easy to work with.

   Abundance of Features: Who would have thought, right? Too many out-of-the-box features and functionalities do more harm than good. The ability and provision to pick and choose preferred modular functions is a value-add in software solutions.

   Data and Security Concerns: Organizations may be unwilling to store sensitive client data or transactions in third-party CRM or cloud servers. However, in today’s ‘cloud-first’ approach, ensuring vendor compliance with data protection regulations covers a majority of concerns. Microsoft’s cloud, for example, is a recognized industry leader with end-to-end cloud protection.

   Annual Costs: Ongoing costs for license subscription, maintenance, and an added price for additional customizations tag along with a software purchase. This is a worldwide practice commonly observed in the software industry. In comparison to building software, this approach allows companies to allocate budgets more accurately with distributed development costs.

   Vendor Reliability: This is possibly one of the most crucial points. A vendor not specialized in real estate will fail to understand the industry standard processes and struggle during customization and workflow management. Global CRM solutions like Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft, and SAP have also failed in real estate companies. Not because the software wasn’t good, but because the implementing partner didn’t understand the industry. Metadata Technologies and Property-xRM bring over 2 decades of real estate software implementation expertise, massively reducing the chances of failure.

   

   C. Combination of Buying and Building Software

   Now that we have looked at the pros and cons of building vs buying software, let’s look at the option of how the two approaches, combined, offer great benefits for organizations. This is the biggest benefit of choosing a universal technology platform against a proprietary solution.

   The challenges with proprietary solutions are vendor lock-in, limited integrations, and restrictions in customization. Combining this with the limited availability of resources – support and custom development becomes a struggle.

   ‘Buying‘ real estate vertical solutions on global technology like Microsoft gives organizations an option to ‘Build‘ on the platform by hiring certified consultants. Not only does this boost scalability, but also provides immense cost benefits over a period of time. By reducing the dependency on the vendor for minor changes or requests, real estate companies leverage the best of both the ‘buying and building’ worlds.

   Quick Implementation | Customization Capabilities | Lower Cost of Ownership

   In addition, the amazing capabilities of the Microsoft Power Platform promote low-code custom development empowering companies to further enhance their ‘purchased’ solution. The entire Microsoft ecosystem of Office 365 applications (Excel, Outlook, Word, Teams), LinkedIn connectivity, Dynamics 365, and Microsoft Cloud offer companies an option to consolidate their real estate operations.

   Buy + Build Real Estate CRM

   

   In conclusion, when it comes to choosing between building and buying real estate CRM software, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It ultimately depends on your business’s unique needs, budget, and timeline. However, considering the challenges associated with custom development, a platform like Microsoft Dynamics 365 with Property-xRM as a vertical solution presents a compelling option.

   It combines the benefits of customization, scalability, and integration with a world-class platform known for its reliability and security, giving real estate professionals a competitive advantage in a dynamic market.

2. Real Estate Software Integration

   September 15, 2023 12:28 pm Comments Off on Real Estate Software Integration

   In the dynamic landscape of real estate management, staying ahead requires efficient tools that not only streamline operations but also foster seamless connectivity. In the quest for the right tools, businesses often tend to invest in multiple applications for various functions. This includes CRM, ERP, Marketing, Property Management, Facilities Management, and more. With multiple applications comes the dreaded challenge of integration. Ask your IT personnel and they will tell you what a pain real estate software integration can be!

   But, it doesn’t have to be very complicated.

   Microsoft is modernizing business processes for enhanced productivity in daily-use business applications. It’s easier for every business and business function to transform how people work. The open API architecture facilitates relatively easier integration with a diverse range of software solutions across the world. Leveraging the power of the platform, real estate software integration is less of a challenge with Property-xRM.

   If you need a specific app to organize your data, you can add it to the power of your business applications. Real Estate businesses can then increase efficiency, enhance data accuracy, improve customer experiences, and unlock new dimensions of efficiency and functionality. Sounds amazing, right?

   Proprietary Technology in the Real Estate Business

   Every real estate business relies on two main aspects:

   • New Business – New tenants, homeowners, or investors via leasing, selling, buying, or acquiring
   • Management – Financial and Property Management for day-to-day maintenance and operations

   

   Successful real estate businesses often excel in both aspects to create a well-rounded and profitable operation. To help do that, companies invest in proprietary solutions like CRM, ERP, or Property Management Software. While these are individual applications that cater to functional requirements, it becomes very important to look at the overall technology architecture and see if it all works together as a whole.

   Proprietary real estate solutions tend to have its share of challenges:

   1. Limited Compatibility: This means they may not be compatible with other non-proprietary systems or technologies. Integration with open-source or third-party solutions can be challenging due to differences in protocols, data formats, and APIs.
   2. Vendor Lock-in: One may become dependent on a single vendor for ongoing support, updates, and maintenance. This can limit your flexibility to switch to alternative solutions or adapt to changing business needs.
   3. Costly Customization: There may be a need to invest in custom development work, which can be expensive and time-consuming. The vendor may also charge additional fees for customizations.
   4. Data Portability Issues: It may become difficult to migrate your data to other platforms or solutions in the future. This can be a concern if you ever decide to switch to a different system.
   5. Resource Unavailability: With proprietary solutions, clients rely solely on the vendor for support and updates, which can be a disadvantage if they have limited resources or expertise.

   How Property-xRM Handles Real Estate Software Integration

   Property-xRM embraces the power of Microsoft’s open API architecture, allowing it to connect with various systems, applications, and data sources. Its integration capabilities empower real estate professionals to create a harmonious ecosystem that fosters collaboration and data-driven decision-making.

   For Example, Microsoft Flow, a component of the Microsoft Power Platform, empowers businesses to create automated workflows that seamlessly connect various apps and services. When integrated into Property-xRM, this synergy extends efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. Let’s explore the integration capabilities of Property-xRM in Real Estate:

   The Microsoft Ecosystem

   While investing in Property-xRM, companies automatically invest in the Microsoft Ecosystem. Property-xRM and Dynamics 365 readily leverage the power of the platform without needing any integrations at all. This includes daily-use applications like Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, as well as SharePoint. Built-in native connectivity with collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Outlook ensures all communications, meetings, and keynotes get synced into the cloud CRM database.

   Learn more about how Property-xRM combines the best of both worlds – Microsoft Technology and Real Estate best practices here. Some of the key Microsoft ‘extensions’ that come in handy for companies are:

   Native Microsoft Outlook Integration for Emails and Appointments: Property-xRM syncs with Outlook, automating information capture and saving critical data directly into the CRM system. Users can schedule emails and site visits right from within the system without manually having to log in to the application.

   Native Microsoft Teams Integration for Calls and Meetings: Interactions with residents or prospective tenants can be automatically stored, transcribed, analyzed, and recorded in the system. The Microsoft collaboration capability also allows users to join Teams meetings and calls right from Property-xRM. The latest in AI has also transformed the way users collaborate and boost efficiency.

   

   Native LinkedIn Sales Navigator Integration for Prospecting: Agents involved in commercial and retail leasing can leverage the world’s largest professional network within Property-xRM to find and reach out to the right contacts of a brand or a company.

   Integration with Third Party Applications

   The importance of having to integrate with third-party applications goes without saying. From our experience working with real estate developers and property management companies across the world, some of the common integration scenarios we have come across are:

   1. Integration with ERP (Finance Applications)

   Companies looking at a complete digital transformation with Microsoft have opted for a combination of Property-xRM and ERP software like Dynamics 365 (D365) Finance and Operations, D365 Business Central, or D365 AX. In such cases, integrations are less of a challenge because both applications come under the same Microsoft ecosystem.

   At the same time, there are companies already invested in third-party finance applications like Oracle (E-Business Suite or Fusion), SAP, JD Edwards, etc. In such cases, there are a number of ways in which integrations can be done with Property-xRM.

   Some of them are:

   APIs:

   In simple terms, an Application Programming Interface (API) is a type of code that allows software to communicate with each other. Real Estate Software Integration with D365 (Property-xRM) is not difficult since Microsoft provides open APIs making posting and updating content easier. Types of integrations included in Dynamics 365 APIs are:

   • REST-based
   • SOAP-based
   • Web-based APIs

   If the ERP in question also has open APIs, this type of integration is faster, less expensive, and requires lower development efforts. The web APIs can be used to request necessary data/information from the third-party application and pulled into D365 (Property-xRM).

   Other aspects of an ERP include procurement, HR, and supply chain which would particularly be relevant in the case of Facilities Management. This is because resources need to be allocated, tracked, and budgeted for tasks. In such cases again, integrations are possible.

   Middleware Approach:

   Companies can utilize custom tools and applications as well for integration. For example, companies can opt for middleware integration platforms like TIBCO or KingswaySoft. These applications enable connections with systems without actually using process codes. In the case of Microsoft, a Dynamics CRM adapter reduces the efforts and time taken to connect with applications as it minimizes the difficulty in identifying entities and their properties.

   

   Key touch points for ERP integration are often:

   • Invoices and Receipts
   • Bookings and Payments (Receivables/Payables)
   • Contracts and Agreements

   Some key benefits of a Middleware approach in real estate software integration are:

   1. Compatibility: Middleware translates data from various formats between the CRM system and the third-party applications. Data mapping functionalities help correspond fields in one platform to the other system.
   2. Queuing and Routing: Messages are routed between applications ensuring data is sent to the right destination based on defined rules and criteria. Queuing messages makes sure that no data is lost during integration as they get stored even when the destination system is not accepting data.
   3. Error Handling and Logging: Middleware solutions often include robust error-handling mechanisms. When integration issues occur, errors are logged, and administrators are notified. This proactive approach allows for quick troubleshooting and issue resolution.

   2. Integration with Websites

   Property companies often rely on websites and online inquiries for their leads. Be it their own property website or third-party websites like Internet listing services (ILS), it is critical to be able to pull lead data into CRM.

   With Property-xRM, companies can undertake push-and-pull marketing strategies. Be it pushing units or properties to other websites, or capturing leads from third-party websites, integration is less of a challenge since most services offer open API keys. Some of the common names are:

   • Zillow
   • Redfin
   • Realtor
   • Bayut
   • PropertyFinder
   • Dubizzle

   3. Integration with Call Centers

   Real Estate companies in the residential sales business usually have aggressive targets for both field sales and call center teams. In such cases, equipping the call center teams with real-time information about the incoming caller becomes critical.

   Property-xRM integrates with an organization’s existing call center applications preparing teams with the necessary information. CISCO-based call centers or software solutions like Zendesk, Genesys, etc. can also be integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 to automate routine tasks and boost the efficiency of the agents.

   4. Integration with Social Media

   Native Marketing automation solutions on Dynamics 365 like ClickDimensions or Microsoft’s own Dynamics 365 for Marketing offer complete social media automation. Manage all social channels and track results through one single platform.

   • Post in real-time or schedule content in advance at strategic timings for best results.
   • Leverage social templates and content creation capabilities to utilize your marketing calendar.
   • Capture leads and inquiries from social platforms and directly register them as leads with source and channel tracking.
   • Measure performance via metrics like clicks, impressions, and reach to gauge campaign effectiveness.

   E. Integration with Messaging Applications

   While Property-xRM users can natively leverage Microsoft Teams for communications and messaging, there’s been an increasing demand to integrate with daily applications like WhatsApp or Telegram. Successful integration recently completed with WhatsApp using APIs indicates positive possible connections with similar applications.

   F. Integration with Facilities Management Software and Ticketing Systems

   Real estate companies that manage their properties, either in-house or through contractors, require facilities management solutions. While companies have the option to opt for native Facilities Management Software, they also can integrate existing systems with Property-xRM. A robust case management module in Microsoft Dynamics 365 seamlessly allows for managing and resolving client requests and issues within the CRM.

   Popular solutions like IBM Maximo have successfully been integrated in the past while UpKeep and similar open API solutions have been identified as ‘possible to integrate’ as well.

   Property-xRM – Streamlining Real Estate Software Integration

   Gone are the days when integration was considered a nightmare. Sure, it’s a challenging aspect in any digital transformation initiative, but Microsoft’s platform capabilities ease them to an extent. Leveraging native connections with the vast Microsoft ecosystem, Property-xRM offers a scalable solution for real estate developers, home builders, and property management companies.

   An all-in-one real estate software for residential sales, residential leasing, retail leasing, owner association, and community service management offers an integrated solution for the industry.

   Embracing these integration capabilities opens doors to a future where real estate professionals can focus on what they do best – building relationships, closing deals, and helping clients achieve their real estate dreams. It’s time to unlock the full potential of your real estate business with the power of collaboration with Microsoft and Property-xRM.

Unlike traditional property management systems that focus heavily on accounting and financial aspects, Property-xRM adopts a customer-first approach. Its operational CRM engine helps in building and maintaining strong tenant relationships while optimizing overall operational efficiency.

   

   This residential lease management software leverages the Microsoft Dynamics 365 technology platform to centralize operations from lead to deal and beyond.

   • Lead Generation: A powerful marketing automation tool helps generate leads, while CRM simplifies pipeline management.
   • Opportunity Management: Once a lead is generated, it can be assigned to leasing agents who reach out to potential tenants. Based on their engagements, a lead can be converted into an opportunity.
   • Inventory Management: Property-xRM’s inventory management module provides visibility into vacant units which empowers leasing representatives to match the preferences of potential tenants. These could be a specific floor, a specific apartment type, a floor, associated views, etc.
   • Offer Management: Agents can create offers through the system and share them directly via email. Moreover, relevant documents and identity-related proofs can also be captured and stored on the cloud.

   The Rental Income Challenge

   For property owners and landlords, maximizing rental income is a top priority. However, achieving this objective isn’t always straightforward. Several challenges come into play, such as:

   • Vacancy Periods: Every day that a property remains vacant results in lost income. Reducing vacancy periods is essential to boost overall rental income.
   • Rent Collection Delays: Late or missed rent payments can disrupt cash flow and impact the property owner’s financial stability.
   • Maintenance Management: Handling maintenance and repair requests in a timely and efficient manner is crucial to keep tenants satisfied and retain them for longer durations.
   • Compliance and Legal Matters: Staying compliant with local laws and regulations is vital to avoid legal issues that could lead to financial losses.

   Residential Lease Management Software

   The key to any rental business is ensuring all stakeholders involved are empowered to contribute to each other’s success.

Leasing reps can create custom dashboards to monitor rent dues on a user or property level. Moreover, there are also provisions to send legal notices and options to blacklist a tenant upon multiple defaults.

   3. Maintenance Ticketing System:

   Property-xRM offers a centralized system to manage maintenance requests efficiently. Tenants can raise requests either online through a tenant portal, a direct phone call, or via email.

   5. Data Analytics and Insights:

   With robust reporting and analytics features, Property-xRM provides valuable insights into property performance, rental trends, and maintenance costs, helping landlords make informed decisions for now and the future. Rent rolls, contract expiration, final settlement, and vacancy reports are some of the key insights that are particularly relevant for leasing personnel.

   

   6. Tenant Communication and Engagement:

   Strong tenant relationships lead to better tenant retention. Property-xRM’s Tenant Portal facilitates regular communication with tenants, keeping them engaged and connected to the community, thereby leading to happier tenants and longer lease durations.

   Property-xRM: A Complete Residential Lease Management Software

   Managing residential properties can be a complex task, but with the right technology, property owners and landlords can streamline their operations and maximize rental income. Property-xRM offers a comprehensive solution that simplifies the entire lease management process, from lead management and rent collection to maintenance management and data analysis. By leveraging this innovative software, property owners can focus on growing their rental income while providing their tenants with an exceptional living experience.

5. Property-xRM – Facility Management Software in UAE

   August 15, 2023 12:38 pm Comments Off on Property-xRM – Facility Management Software in UAE

   In the fast-paced landscape of facility management, staying ahead of the curve is essential for success. Facility Management Software in UAE is revolutionizing the industry, offering a comprehensive solution to optimize operations, enhance efficiency, and ensure seamless facility maintenance.

   With real estate becoming one of the predominant contributors to the UAE Economy, the need for FM solutions has never been higher. In this blog, we explore how Property-xRM Facility Management Software is transforming the way businesses in the UAE manage their facilities, making them smarter, more efficient, and future-ready.

   Why Facility Management Software in UAE Matters

   Facility Management Companies in the UAE face unique challenges in maintaining and optimizing diverse facilities, from commercial buildings to residential complexes and industrial sites. This ranges from soft services like cleaning and security to hard services like HVAC or fire systems.

   Traditional methods of manual record-keeping and coordination are not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. And when the scale of operations and the size of FM teams grow, there is no room for such errors. This is where Property-xRM’s CAFM (Facility Management) Software steps in, offering a tailored solution designed to address the specific needs of the UAE market. Again, you might think why choose CAFM software? Read more to find out.

   Property-xRM Facility Management Software:

   Property-xRM is a powerful CAFM software powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service. The solution combines the best of both worlds – the latest Microsoft Technology and expertise in the facilities management domain. With over 20 years of best practice in Real Estate and FM Operations, Property-xRM puts together key functionalities for UAE Operations.

   Within Facilities Management, Property-xRM covers 2 main maintenance processes:

   1. Reactive Maintenance
   2. Planned Preventive Maintenance

   Reactive Maintenance

   Reactive maintenance involves addressing sudden issues and breakdowns as they occur. It is to ensure that the facilities are running smoothly. Often referred to as ‘breakdown maintenance’ or ‘run-to-failure’, such maintenance involves addressing unexpected equipment failures, malfunctions, or damages.

   

   Since reactive maintenance is all about resolving the issue or requests at hand, Property-xRM ensures end-to-end work order management.

   • As soon as a service request gets raised from any source, be it a phone call, email, or portal submission, a work order gets created automatically.
   • This is followed by assigning the most equipped technician for the task based on the skill set and availability. Using a resource schedule board, maintenance supervisors also have the option to manually select technicians based on their availability.
   • Once a technician is assigned, all parties receive notifications about the work order and the status.
   • After a work order is issued, SLA (Service Level Agreements) get triggered based on the priority of the job, and necessary provisions are made available to the technician.
   • Finally, once the job is completed, technicians can capture post-resolution pictures on their app before getting customer confirmation and closing the case.

   Planned Preventive Maintenance

   Preventive Maintenance takes a strategic approach that goes beyond fixing what’s broken and instead focuses on keeping things running smoothly in the first place. By identifying and addressing issues periodically, preventive maintenance helps maintain optimal facility performance.

   

   Planned Preventive Maintenances usually involve third-party contractors who undertake periodic inspections and resolutions. Property-xRM covers all processes right from creating a PPM Agreement until resolution.

   • Based on the agreed scope of work, agreements are created with the contractors outlining the necessary details like the value, the frequency, the technician details, etc. The agreements can also be printed from within the system, if need be.
   • Once a booking recurrence is set, work orders get generated automatically on the due dates, thereby triggering the SLA. Resource details, estimated duration of the work, and other clauses are captured in the system.
   • Invoices against the work orders also get automatically created and integrated with the financial application (ERP). Email and/or in-app push notifications are sent to respective stakeholders.

   Maintenance Management plays a critical role in FM operations, and Property-xRM offers a powerful solution to streamline daily operations.

   Key Benefits of Property-xRM Facilities Management Software:

   1. Seamless Work Order Management:

   Facility Management Software streamlines work order creation, assignment, and tracking. Technicians receive real-time updates, ensuring swift response to maintenance requests and minimizing downtime.

   2. Online Portals for Tenants, Clients, and Contractors

   Property-xRM provides online portals that consolidate all facility-related information, enabling FM Companies to access critical data with ease. The portal serves as a one-stop solution, eliminating the need for cumbersome paperwork and manual record-keeping. This centralized approach streamlines operations, enhances communication, and empowers better decision-making.

   

   Facility Management software like Property-xRM offers portals for clients, tenants, as well as third-party service providers. Some of the main capabilities include:

   Client Portal:

   • Onboarding clients and providing them access to the online portal
   • Payment options through online medium
   • Communication options through third-party integrations

   Tenant Portal:

   • Allowing tenants to raise requests and complaints
   • Viewing and downloading quotations right from the software
   • Visibility into work order status and ability to make payments

   Service Provider Portal:

   • Registration of the Third-Party Sub Contractors
   • Document Management
   • Visibility into maintenance schedules

   3. Efficient Asset Tracking:

   With the diverse range of assets in UAE facilities, tracking and managing them can be a challenge. Property-xRM Facility Management Software provides a centralized database for assets, including maintenance history and warranty information, ensuring optimal performance and reducing costs.

   4. Resource Allocation and Management:

   Facility Management Software helps in allocating resources effectively, assigning tasks to the right technicians based on skills and proximity. This maximizes workforce productivity and ensures timely service delivery.

   

   5. Enhanced Customer Experience:

   Happy occupants and tenants are essential for facility success. The online portals help manage tenant requests, track service delivery and improve overall customer satisfaction. They can raise their requests, view associated invoices, chat with representatives, and much more using the portal.

   6. Real-time Analytics:

   Property-xRM leverages Dynamics 365 reporting engine as well as native Power BI capabilities to provide actionable insights through real-time analytics. Data-driven decision-making enables continuous improvement and strategic planning for facility managers.

   

   Choosing the Right Facility Management Software:

   Selecting the ideal Facility Management Software is a critical decision. Look for a solution that offers a user-friendly interface, customizable features, robust support, and scalability to accommodate your facility’s growth.

   Property-xRM: Facility Management Software in UAE
