How Uniting Property Management Systems Works for You

One of the most important things you can do for your property management business is to incorporate the infrastructure that supports it. This means building the right kind of property management system to be the foundation of your specific services. Knowing exactly how to go about doing this could be the difference between profit and failure.

While many Geekly Media clients manage single-family residential properties, that doesn't mean other industries can't offer key insights on how to operate. Take franchises, for example: did you know that franchises are a billion-dollar business? Their chances of not only surviving—but of thriving—are exponentially better than the majority of companies that launch from scratch. This is not happenstance!

Imagine taking the essential elements of the winning "franchise" formula and putting them to work for your property management system. At Geekly Media, that is precisely what we have done! We're not turning your business into a franchise—but we are putting the robust structure of a franchise to work for you.

Exporting Franchise Longevity

Yes, franchises have an immediate advantage when it comes to their name recognition and already established inbound marketing plan. There is also nearly effortless financing (at least compared to other start-up businesses) and a well-established, successful plan.

They have an even more significant advantage, though—the existence of an already proven business system. Such structures behave as the operating system for the entire business. You might even be surprised to learn that some of the most profitable franchise businesses in existence are not the usual players you might think. You don't have to be McDonald's to be successful—you merely need to take advantage of the right property management tools.

An Operating System for Property Management

An operating system for a computer allows you to communicate with and manage that computer. An operating system designed for property management does something similar by allowing you to communicate with the "hardware" of your company.

A computer without an operating system quickly becomes dead weight (even with perfectly functioning hardware). A property management company with perfectly functioning pieces but an inability to unite those pieces through property management software can suffer a similar fate.

A great property management website just isn't enough to cut it anymore; this is when property management automation for your and operational workflows really come into play. Successfully building a business operating system consists of some of the following key components:

• Setting company goals
• Putting workflow automation processes into place
• Developing the right ticketing system
• Executing a well-researched marketing plan.

Rather than building your property management systems from scratch, partnering with a vendor that can demonstrate an already proven formula is solid logic. Such partnerships eliminate the costliness of expending more time on trial and error as you try to fit your unique business into a sea of available software.
