In our current environment, multifamily owners and operators are focused on promoting communication, health, and safety. The adoption of self-guided tours, chatbots, AI-powered leasing agents, air purification and ventilation systems, remote payment systems, and more, are all in demand to support these efforts. You may be finding yourself in a similar position and relying on multifamily technology providers for these solutions.
Before your next vendor hire, be sure to do your research! Follow these tried-and-true tips for finding a supplier that will be more than just another vendor, but an actual partner for your multifamily business.
There are so many technology vendors in the multifamily industry. It can be hard to cut through the noise to the find the best solution for your business. In a recent article published by the National Apartment Association, Sean Miller, President of PointCentral, says, “There a lot of names that come in and out from different sides of technology – it's very sexy at times with VC money and headlines. Most operators want to make sure the technological champions in their organization do a good job of stepping back and choosing a partner and not a vendor. A vendor wants to sell you something, but a partner is going to make sure you get the ROI out of it.”
You should feel confident that your vendor will provide ample support and training during the implementation phase and after. There’s nothing worse than onboarding a new technology and then feeling unsupported later.
Here are a few examples of questions to always ask:
Your technology provider should not be just another vendor—they should be a true partner. They should be aligned with your goals and offer a customer-centric culture that is committed to your success. Always work with a supplier that provides excellence in their support and services.
