A Look Back on 2016

2016 came and now it is almost gone. Last year we were able to meet several of our goals and this year we were able to meet even more.

 

Here’s a summary of our highlights here at Smart Housing

 

  • Updated Resident Portal - all features were made to be easily accessible from the main page. Residents can also see their transaction history and have more control over the autopay settings.

  • New Check Scanning Product - before, our users were able to accept payments online and swipe credit cards in the office using our software. Now they can also scan checks. It’s just one more way we’re making rent collection and accounting easier.

  • More available integrations - for example, we now offer integration with AMSI if that is the accounting software of your preference.

  • Updates to Enterprise Applications - our online rental application product uses a standard application that all landlords use, but now enterprise users have the ability to upload their own application. It’s on the docket for landlord users to have the same ability added to their accounts in the upcoming year.

  • Additional training tutorials - more blogs have been written and more tutorial videos have been made to help aid our users as they figure out how to use our property management software.

  • Moved to a new office - Smart Housing is growing and this required us to change locations. Our new office is located in South Salt Lake.

  • New Lease Product - okay, so this isn’t for 2016 since it’s not available yet, but we’re so close! A lot of work has been put into the residential lease product this year and it is expected to go live at the beginning of 2017.


Happy Holidays from all of us here at Smart Housing!
