Customer profile

Who this is for.

Property management companies managing 100+ rental units with tenant email, rent ledgers, maintenance requests, vendor scheduling, lease notices, and owner reporting.

The operating problem

Rent status, tenant emails, repair messages, vendor coordination, and lease notice windows create daily repetitive work.

The OpenTeam outcome

OpenTeam prepares the rent, repair, reminder, and notice queue so one person can review 100+ units in about 30 minutes a day instead of manually checking every mailbox and system.
