If you deal in property management, whether it is an apartment building, a hotel, a venue or real estate property, you know how much paperwork there is to do, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Who is allowed where on the property, tracking keys to specific suites, tracking documents and tracking when things need maintenance or when certain parties are finished with a lease are all thing that need to be taken care of on a daily basis. This is time consuming for all, but with the addition of RFID technology, all of this and much more can be handled in real time, in a fast manner and you will have all your needed information at your fingertips. Isn’t that better than sifting through piles of papers or hoping your memory holds out?
RFID is a simple premise. Things are tagged, the tags are then read and the information relayed to a computer using easy to use software. In the field of property management, the items tagged can be anything from lease agreements, keys to units, appliances, and tenants, plus many more.
In the case of lease agreements, once tagged you will easily be able to look up who is due to move on, who’s agreement is getting near the end and who is up for renewal. Likewise, keys to units can be tagged so they are trackable if lost.
If you work in property management, you are on the hook for anything going wrong in any unit. Leaky toilet, running fixture, hole in the ceiling, on the fritz appliance, all of these headaches land at your feet. With RFID the repairs can be easily tracked, and appliances can be put on a maintenance schedule and a schedule that shows when it’s time to replace altogether. Keeping track of these things as they arise or even before a problem arises makes property management run that much more smoothly.
As far as tenants go, no, you don’t actually tag them, but you do give them special wristbands, key fobs or cards that allow them access to places like the laundry room or the pool. Whenever they want to access any of the areas they do so with their ‘tag’, once the door closes behind them only another person with a similar tag can gain access. This keeps those who have no business being there out and allows for tenants to feel safe in their homes. Likewise, the main entrance to the building can also be key coded or have a keypad for access only by those renters and authorized personnel, again keeping your tenants happy and safe.
