Property Management Is a CRM Problem
Managing properties means managing tenant relationships, maintenance requests, lease expirations, and financials — classic CRM + ERP territory.
Key Requirements
- Tenant management — profiles, communication history, lease details
- Lease tracking — expiration alerts, renewal workflows
- Maintenance — request portal, work order management, vendor tracking
- Accounting — rent collection, expense tracking, owner reports
- Marketing — vacancy listings, applicant tracking
