AUSTIN, Texas – April 14, 2020 – Swivel, Inc., a digital leasing platform for office space, today announced it will unbundle its SaaS leasing application, AgileView, from its proprietary flexible workspace network to support both agile and traditional leasing approaches.

How We Can All Do Our Part to Help in a Crisis   As we've monitored and responded to COVID-19 developments, one thing has become clear from the beginning: We are all in this together. 3.21.20 As a company that partners hand-in-hand with local entrepreneurs and employs hundreds of hourly workers, we are acutely aware of the existential risks that small businesses face in times of crisis. And yet, as a company with a national presence, experiencing an event powerful and widespread enough to simultaneously impact every one of our 20 cities is indeed rare. In our country, the sad truth is that many members of our workforce are more frightened of losing their jobs than they are of contracting this virus. If Wall Street itself is faltering, imagine what the millions of people who count on each and every paycheck must feel. Weeks ago, as news of the coronavirus picked up, we made two key decisions: First, in a time when many companies are laying people off, we would take a different approach and do our utmost to keep our staff employed for the duration of the outbreak. And second, we would commit to supporting our community and providing the…

Let's be honest: project management is rarely fun. Guiding a property management project from early planning to the final touches can be stressful and time-consuming. You're risking more than a headache, however; project management is often the main reason that multifamily properties lose money. Without an effective approach, projects are prone to costly delays, miscommunications, and incorrect resource allocations. It's enough to make any multifamily housing (MFH) team hesitant to pull the trigger, but the upside is that there are methods and tools that can ease the burden. Project Management 101 Project management (PM) describes how teams design, conduct, monitor, and assess an initiative within an organization. In property management, these initiatives can range from small-scale renos and restorations to unit-turnovers and property-wide upgrades.  The PM process can assume many forms. The traditional "waterfall" approach, for example, follows a step-by-step methodology in which teams plot out every phase of their journey and tackle them in sequential order. "Agile" methodology, on the other hand, involves breaking a project down into time-sensitive phases (aka "sprints") and assigning them to different teams who tackle them in unison. In so doing, teams can adapt and pivot in response to changes in real-time. Find out…

It's safe to say that COVID-19 has changed the property management game. And in response to growing health and safety challenges, property operations teams of every stripe are exploring new digital tools, systems, and procedures to protect residents and bolster operations both now and in a post-pandemic world. Surely, if digital transformation was on the agenda before the pandemic, now it is a necessity. With that in mind, here are some ways property teams are using technologies to ensure resident safety and give staff an edge in the age of COVID-19. A touchless experience: While "touchless technology" isn't necessarily new, the pandemic has accelerated adoption.  From automated doors to keyless entries (aka "fobs") and cashless payments to virtual communications, many property teams are racing to minimize fears by creating a truly touchless resident experience. On the staff side, there's an increasing demand for automated systems, mobile technologies, and connected back-office systems. The challenge in all of this?  Balancing "smart technology" interactions with human-centered service. Additional communication-via phone, text, or email-can help residents feel more connected to staff, even if in-person interactions are fewer. Remote working: The work-from-home (WFH) revolution has accelerated and likely not going away any time soon. For property management teams, this enables…

Project management is daunting during the best of times. Add a game-changing pandemic to the mix, and it's easy to understand why stress levels among property management teams are running high. Adapting to the "new normal" is key, but where does one begin? Surely, the days of "business as usual" are on indefinite hold. Project teams face a host of new challenges stemming from heightened health risks, displaced workforces, and industry disruption. Keeping projects on track takes fresh outlooks and new strategies for both today and the post-pandemic world.  Here are 5 things to keep in mind as you navigate this new and changing landscape. Stay nimble: Changing times call for adaptable mindsets. And as COVID-19 continues to rewrite the rules and spark industry changes, project managers must be ready to adapt their plans accordingly. This can be difficult for leaders who prefer "sticking to the plan," but failing to adapt to new rules, health risks, or resident trends can mean veering off track completely. Avoid key issues that cause time-delays and increased costs in the make-ready process.  Accommodate hybrid teams: The pandemic has made working from home the rule rather than the exception. This can make it difficult for property management teams…

Microsoft programs have been essential instruments for business visionaries since the start of Microsoft Works in 1986. Microsoft Office was conveyed in 1989, quickly astounding WordPerfect and Lotus. That productivity suite, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, is right now ubiquitous. Additionally, Microsoft keeps improving and stretching out its business abilities to add security features, PDA the board, contacts the heads and significantly more strong ascribes. The amount of options for associations can be without a doubt frustrating. Today, Microsoft makes it fairly difficult to understand the particular difference between the groups it offers. There are two or three comparative charts on its site, anyway isolating between the tremendous number of organizations in different groups – all with obviously a comparative name – can be a significant task without help from anyone else.

This November, I had the opportunity to attend the National Apartment Association's (NAA) 2020 Apartmentalize virtual convention. Much like its previous years, this online event offered valuable insights into the obstacles and opportunities facing apartment building owners/managers at this unique (and challenging) moment in time. There was a lot to soak in over the week-long conference. I've spent a lot of time since the show brainstorming how SuiteSpot's turnovers and facilities management platform can tackle the many issues that came to light. Here are my top Apartmentalize sessions and key takeaways from each one: 1. Work Orders in a Remote World: Real-time Project Management Day-to-day property management operations have been far from "normal" since March. If one thing rang clear in this online roundtable, it's that property stakeholders have been turning to technology for relief. "We're really relying on our maintenance software platforms now more than ever," offered Nick Hecox, Director of Maintenance with AI Angelo Company, noting that in addition to boosting team collaboration and efficiency, "the real value with going digital is the ability to see the data in ways we couldn't before. It's reduced our time spent auditing, and the metrics are amazing." Hecox was joined by…

Female football is no less exciting event than the classic. And to be convinced of this, it is enough to see 1xBet - online betting, where more than 1000 sporting events are presented. Famous clubs acquire female teams and participate in serious tournaments, which can be traced to. What is happening today in football, where forwards and defenders are women? Just a month ago, the Vice President of Barcelona, Jordi Mestre, expressed regret because of the absence of a women's team in the structure of Real, that is available for online betting. Today we are seeing changes in the situation.   Female Real and other events on score stream live According to the score stream live: https://1xbet.com, the US team became the world champions for the second time in a row and the fourth time in history.

It's been a difficult year for the multifamily sector. According to the latest stats, December alone saw a decrease in rent collections by 24% compared with March of this year. This puts even more pressure on property management teams to reduce operating costs and boost efficiencies so they can begin 2021 with a healthier financial outlook. Saving money and bolstering operations have been common themes in our 2020 blogs. Now, as a new (and hopefully brighter) year takes shape, we've collected five New Year's wishes that will help your TRIMM (AKA: Turnovers, Renovations, Inspections and Maintenance Management) processes. 1. Task automation and tracking: The costs of delays, miscommunications, and human errors can add up fast in multifamily management. Using automated programs to set up, monitor, and evaluate tasks in real-time can help overcome these speedbumps while establishing workflows that can be tracked and adapted on the fly. Moreover, automation helps team leaders set up exception reporting, in which project alerts and escalations are sent to the appropriate field staff's mobile device via email or push notification when their intervention is required. This helps teams prioritize the most important tasks each day and resolve potential issues faster. 2. Real-time insights: The best time to…

Empty units mean they're generating zero income, and while multifamily housing (MFH) turnovers dipped to historic lows during the pandemic, the industry cannot bank on this trend lasting. It's likely that residents are just postponing due to the pandemic. The more property teams do now to facilitate efficient turnovers, the better prepared they'll be to manage this costly and time-consuming process once the flood of activity gets underway. Turnovers are often the most expensive part of any multifamily operations. Between repairs, restorations, vendor delays, and team miscommunications, the costs of readying a unit for the market can quickly overshoot your budgeted amount and time to market. The good news is there are many opportunities to enhance the unit turnover process and keep money-making assets from sitting empty. Uncover hidden costs and discover potential savings! Don't miss these 7 Unit Turnover Mistakes that Waste Time and Money As we all know, efficient turnovers hinge on standardized processes, flawless communication, and accurate inspections. Paper-based processes worked in the past, but the complexity and volume of modern turnovers require more advanced tools. For example, inspections used to be conducted with papers, pens, and a camera, but mobile unit inspection apps can provide standardized checklists, collect…

Project managers thrive on their ability to know what's happening, why it's happening, and who's accountable for getting the job done. This is especially true in property management where the success of any activity relies on clear directions and a real-time view into a team's projects and activities. Enter: workflows, data-driven game plans that define the steps and results required to achieve a business outcome. Beyond mapping out the "flow" of activities within a project, workflows illustrate how those tasks intermingle, the information that passes between them, and the timelines each team must follow to ensure everyone reaches the finish line together. Find out if you're truly optimizing your make-readies, inspections, and maintenance tasks in 5 minutes or less! In short, workflows help property management teams continuously improve their activities, both for the benefit of their residents and asset stakeholders. There are several advantages to using a workflow created and managed via property management platforms, including: 1. Automated processes: Plans are smoother when everyone is on the same page. Property management software allows users to embed "smart templates" within their workflows that outline the required steps, notifies teams when it's their "turn" to act, and keeps everyone working from the same playbook.  By…
