Making life easier for residents and staff lies at the heart of Applied Property Management\u2019s mission.\u00a0 \u201cOur company practices a paperless approach, starting at the very beginning\u2014applying to live here,\u201d says Raymond Lucena, a Yardi\u00ae<\/sup> specialist with Applied Property Management, the property management arm of Hoboken, N.J. developer Ironstate.\u00a0 The company\u2019s residential leasing process is 100% online, from marketing, applying and screening through lease signing and payments.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a user-friendly experience, which is a lot different than relying on paper as we did previously.\u00a0 If you search our properties through Google, for example, you\u2019ll go directly to our property websites via RentCafe\u00ae<\/sup>.\u00a0 Our lead conversion rate is higher in the four years we\u2019ve been using RentCafe because applications can be completed almost instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n Applied Property Management\u2019s philosophy of paperless convenience extends to residential service.\u00a0 \u201cAbout 92% of our market-rate residents pay rent online; we expect that to reach 99%,\u201d Lucena says.\u00a0 \u201cEventually we want to duplicate this degree of participation in our commercial space.\u00a0 We want all residents, vendors, and retail managers to manage work orders, ledgers, payments and everything else electronically.\u201d<\/p>\n Applied Property Management went mobile as well as paperless in the search for greater efficiency.\u00a0 \u201cWe equipped our leasing agents with tablets and mobile devices.\u00a0 When they\u2019re showing a unit, they can launch the application, screen the prospect through Yardi Resident Screening\u2122, and sign the lease on the spot, without waiting for paper documents to come through,\u201d Lucena says.<\/p>\n Staff technicians can receive, prioritize and document maintenance and inspections in the field with the mobile-enabled Yardi Maintenance\u2122 and Yardi Inspection\u2122 solutions.\u00a0 \u201cNot having to pick up paper work orders saves them a huge amount of time, and they can stay where they\u2019re needed, not in the office,\u201d Lucena says.<\/p>\n New applications for end-to-end procurement and mobile deal pipeline management, along with online payment and service options for its commercial tenants, are under consideration.\u00a0 Applied Property Management has already automated billing and collections for residential water usage with Yardi Energy Solutions\u2122.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Applied Property Management Co. takes pride in spreading fast, convenient service across a portfolio that consists of thousands of apartment units which include market rate, subsidized housing and commercial spaces in New Jersey.
