Business Case for Analytics

Find out if you have the problems that RentViewer solves

This page is designed to help you decide if there is a business case for analytics for your property management company.

Before you spend too much time and money researching data analytics, find out if you have any of the problems that a tool like RentViewer solves.

Business Case for Analytics for a Property Management Company

A business case has two sides: the benefits and the costs.

For the benefits side of the business case, look below at the list of common problems some property management executives deal with. If you aren’t dealing with such issues, then the benefits from RentViewer are going to be low.

Although not too significant, the cost side of the business case also includes labor savings. If you are manually exporting data to Excel and creating your scorecards and reports, that cost can also be factored into the business case.

 

Each Day of Operation is Costing You

RentViewer is designed to help property management executives with three things:

  • Stay on Plan
  • Stop the Leaks
  • Protect the Blindspots

The biggest part of the cost-benefit equation for the business case for analytics is the peace of mind you get by having good information and good metrics to make decisions about important areas such as lead generation, leasing, unit turnover, collections and more.

RentViewer is like an X-Ray Machine

People don’t get X-Rayed unless they have symptoms that need to be examined. In some cases, people who don’t have symptoms can be asked to get a regular X-Ray as a preventive measure.

The same goes for RentViewer. By pulling data out of your property management system and calculating important ratios, analyzing trends, and looking for patterns, RentViewer provides you a report on the health of your business.
