Arriving at the Rittenhouse Claridge<\/a> in Center City Philadelphia on a cold winter\u2019s night in January, the first thing you might notice is a charming string of white holiday lights over the lobby door. Stepping out of the cab into sub-freezing temperatures with wind chill, ducking inside the warm and welcoming lobby felt like stepping into the apartment of a dear friend.\"IMG_2712\"<\/p>\n

We were visiting Philadelphia to see first-hand how Yardi<\/a> client the Kaiserman Company<\/a> uses Yardi\u2019s Procure to Pay platform to optimize its procurement process, streamlining ordering and delivery and making invoice approvals easier than ever before.<\/p>\n

Procure to Pay has helped Kaiserman save $60,000 annually, reduce paper use by 50 percent, and redirect staff time to other important tasks. The company uses the Yardi Voyager platform for its multifamily and commercial portfolios, and after implementing two years ago, has found the cloud-hosted solution to be invaluable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love it. I have been in the industry for awhile, used many different platforms, and Yardi is by far my favorite. Our leasing teams, our management teams and even our corporate office have access to Yardi. It just makes doing everyday tasks simpler,\u201d said property manager Eric Schulz.<\/p>\n

The Rittenhouse Claridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of just two apartment buildings located right on Philadelphia\u2019s iconic Rittenhouse Square, the Rittenhouse Claridge was built in the 1950s by its current owner\/operators, the Kaiserman Company. Over the last several years, an effort to restore the property to its midcentury roots has been underway, with charming results.<\/p>\n

On the building\u2019s second floor, a sprawling common area with comfortable seating, fireplaces, reading nooks, game tables, a kitchen and private meeting spaces overlooks the Square. In one corner is the spacious gym, where a line of treadmills looks directly over the park.<\/p>\n

The vibe of the Claridge is charming but hip. A pet friendly property, residents pass constantly through the lobby with their dogs all day long, headed out for a jaunt around the square. In muddy and rainy weather, they can stop at the dog spa on the second floor for a quick bath on their way in.<\/p>\n

Remodeled apartment units feature similar design touches to those found in the second floor living space. And the views of Philadelphia, whether from the rooftop sundeck (open seasonally) or the windows of any apartment unit, can\u2019t be beat.<\/p>\n
