Updater is an awesome service that helps property managers be more efficient

What was your company’s primary use case for Updater?

My company implemented Updater a few months back and it’s made creating applicant’s files so much easier!

What do you like most about Updater?

I love how Updater gives future residents reminders of what documents are still pending. It makes it so much easier to complete other tasks rather than chasing down pending documents. Carlie hosted our kick off call and did such an awesome job on explaining the service and how easy it is to use. Any time I have had a question or issue the team responds in a timely manner.

Updater

What was your company’s primary use case for Updater?

We did a pilot for Updater at our property before the company launched it-site wide. We used to it to simplify move-ins for new residents.

What do you like most about Updater?

Updater helps save time. It streamlined our move in process. We were able to get rid of welcome letters & create a one-stop shop for move-ins to get their information and prepare the documents necessary to pick up keys. It also helped save time by linking to Yardi - when a resident uploaded renter's insurance it automatically synced to their Yardi profile.

What could Updater do better?

Updater can be tricky with a super quick move-in. We did talk about this during the pilot and they helped address it but it still works best for a move-in with more time in between application and lease start date.

Who would you recommend Updater to?

I would recommend Updater to any on-site management time that does things in-house. The team is super helpful and the software is easy to learn.

Customer support and service

Everyone was extremely helpful in accepting feedback and assisting us in navigating a new way of doing things.

Fast and cool!

What was your company’s primary use case for Updater?

We use The Updater as a move-in tool for all our new move-ins. It helps to remove stress from already stressful situations. My favorite tool is that once the prospect uploads the required documents, we can approve or deny them and state why. I also love that once it's approved, it goes straight to Yardi. It truly saves so much time.

What do you like most about Updater?

I love that the system is easy to use. The customer service is awesome; they respond to e-mails usually within an hour.

What could Updater do better?

I would love for them to add a feature where the prospect can upload their proof of income and government missed IDs. Here at our community, part of the move-in process is collecting proof of income, having a copy of an ID, and attaching it to their files.

Who would you recommend Updater to?

Anyone who wants to improve their move-in system.

Amazing System!

What was your company’s primary use case for Updater?

Updater has taken over our Welcome Letter and streamlined the move in process for us and our future residents.

What do you like most about Updater?

We absolutely love that it is an easy-to-use system, cuts our time in half and is easy for our future residents to use and operate. All documents once approved are automatically uploaded to Yardi.

What could Updater do better?

Any feedback I have provided Updater with, if able they integrate it into their system. Or before I have a chance to give feedback, my suggestion has already been added to the system. SO easy to work with.

Who would you recommend Updater to?

I would recommend Updater to any Property Management company or multi-family to streamline their move-in process.

Streamlined our processes!

What was your company’s primary use case for Updater?

Updater is utilized as our Welcome Letter and check in points with our future residents. It is an easy way for the future resident to view what tasks need to be completed prior to move in.

What do you like most about Updater?

Our teams love Updater because the processes are in one location for the future residents. It is a way to collect data and see what is outstanding, making for a much smoother move in. In addition - no matter who we have talked to or had assigned as a representative, we have had great and prompt customer service. They open themselves up as available to our on-site teams which makes it very beneficial.

What could Updater do better?

Any feedback we have provided Updater to better their system for our use, they have either come back and showed us how to use it or put it in with their team as feedback to improve at a later time. They are incredibly supportive of their management companies.

The most thing I like how updater is how user friendly it is and how it's helped out with time management.

Updater Kept Us Afloat

What was your company’s primary use case for Updater?

Updater allowed us to streamline the move in process for incoming residents to submit documents, account information, and other required move in items.

What do you like most about Updater?

I like that Updater keeps everything in one place, but also syncs with our management system (Yardi) to transfer documents into individual resident files. It made keeping track of 40+ move ins much easier. It also enabled us to be more efficient with our time in sending out approval letters to new residents, and then created an easy task list for them to follow to prepare for move in.

What could Updater do better?

Faster syncing with Yardi

Who would you recommend Updater to?

Any multi-family team that is managing move ins
