They expect significant time savings and improved responsiveness thanks to seamless Voyager integration.<\/p>\n<p>Melo commented, \u201cWe were manually receiving emails from our website for maintenance requests, which required someone attending to the email inbox and forwarding the messages to the right people. Now residents can simply log in to the resident portal, enter their service request and start the workflow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Consolidating operations portfolio-wide on the Voyager platform has also improved communication within the company. As part of its inherently collaborative culture, Timbercreek has found great success with appointing \u201cYardi Champions\u201d across its business.<\/p>\n<p>Melo commented, \u201cWe\u2019ve empowered a small group of Timbercreek employees to be Yardi Champions. These individuals lead the charge and take ownership of each solution piece of our Voyager platform. This is an exciting new approach, and we\u2019re already seeing great results from our 400 onsite employees. Yardi has absolutely helped empower our success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When David Melo, president of Timbercreek Communities, joined the company, his first call was to Yardi.
