Smart Communities and Smart Operations Deliver Smart Living for All

by Lucas Haldeman

Convenience and efficiency are top priorities for both renters and property managers, which places a premium on technologies that simplify everyday living, reduce energy spending and enhance the productivity of management teams. SmartRent takes the resident experience to the next level via a comprehensive lineup of property technologies and smart home solutions — putting residents in full control of their living spaces while streamlining operations in the process.

Renters have come to expect a level of sophistication and command over their homes, and rental housing operators benefit by catering to these preferences. The ability to control smart-home hardware and access community management platforms through an app has the same advantages for individual apartments as it does in shared amenity spaces. The appeal and the impact are universal.

Each SmartRent smart-home solution — from access controls to thermostats, outlets, lighting, leak and humidity sensors and hubs — delivers its own direct, intrinsic benefit to positively impact resident life. Every proptech platform — whether it’s self-guided touring, maintenance workflow management, audit and inspection management, parking management, package management, or automated call answering — addresses a specific pain point for property teams.

The true tipping point in terms of operational efficiency comes when those smart devices and platforms are synced to work together in a complementary capacity, integrated seamlessly to form a community-specific Internet of Things and supported by SmartRent’s propertywide Community Wi-Fi.

Self-guided touring platforms engage access controls and climate settings to establish an ideal and autonomous prospect experience. In-home sensors automatically generate service requests in mobile workflow systems to ensure prompt response and repairs. Monitored and controlled through a single dashboard, smart devices and proptech platforms drive energy efficiency, mitigate risk and create convenience for residents and property teams alike.
