Smart technology is changing every aspect of how property managers conduct business, making operations more efficient and enhancing guest and resident experiences. From automating daily tasks to improving security and energy management, smart devices save time and reduce costs in ways never imagined. But how do you begin building a tech stack that truly supports your business, especially when all technology is not created equal? And what happens when your business grows—will your smart management ecosystem keep up?
You’ll be happy to know the answer is yes! As your rental portfolio evolves, so too can your tech stack— seamlessly and without limitations. It’s all about choosing scalable solutions that readily adapt to your changing needs. With BeHome247’s unified operations platform, portfolios of all sizes benefit from seamless connectivity. Whether overseeing a handful of rentals or an extensive network of properties, here’s what you need to know to make the transition.
Smart Solutions for Every Portfolio
Start by assessing your current operations and determine where you could most benefit from automation and smart connectivity. If you manage a more compact portfolio, foundational tools that streamline tasks may be the best starting point. Those overseeing extensive portfolios might be more interested in integrating smart devices across multiple properties, reducing operational strain, and providing real-time insights at scale.
Here’s a look at some must-have smart devices to consider no matter where you are on the spectrum:
- Locks provide secure remote control over property access with unique codes for each guest or service provider. (Great for streamlining check-ins and simplifying self-guided tours!)
- Thermostats offer complete control over temperature settings, resulting in energy savings, reduced costs, and improved guest and resident experiences.
- Lights create a welcoming atmosphere with schedules and motion detection, enhancing security and safety.
- Alarms monitor specific areas or entire properties, adding another layer of protection and eliminating the need for on-site personnel.
- Sensors track environmental changes and detect risks like water leaks and smoke with real-time alerts to minimize damage.
- EV Charging Stations attract guests and residents with a valuable, sustainable amenity that provides effortless convenience.
Whether launching your first rental, growing quickly, scaling up, or managing a large-scale operation, the right smart technology makes all the difference. Here’s how to choose the best solutions for every stage of growth.
Smart Devices for Emerging Property Managers
Focus on the essentials if you’re just starting or managing a limited number of properties. Smart locks for secure and seamless access, thermostats for energy efficiency, and sensors to prevent costly maintenance issues are all small investments that can make a big difference and save you money in the long run.
Optimizing Growth for Expanding Portfolios
Automation becomes essential as your portfolio grows, helping maintain consistency across your expanding network of properties, without the added complexity. Integrating smart devices that conserve energy and offer real-time security monitoring minimizes the risk of human error, ensuring accuracy and smoother operations across the board.
Enterprise-Level Solutions for Large Portfolios
Managing larger and more complex portfolios requires both essential and advanced technology for maximum efficiency and visibility. Seamless integrations and real-time insights are critical for scaling confidently—through acquisitions, market expansions, and more—without negatively impacting the bottom line.
