Property management representatives in a variety of industries, such as real estate, facility management, storage management, commercial property management, have traditionally used paper forms to record their field activities, e.g. property evaluation forms, rental applications, contract agreements, and more.
These methods have been prone to errors that only multiply as the use case becomes larger. Errors range from data entry mistakes to plain old “dog ate my forms.” Transcribing hand-scribbled notes while on the road is also challenging. Old-school digital technologies (pdfs, excels) have gone a long way in mitigating some of these issues.
These order entry methods cost an enormous amount of time and money. For property management representatives in the field, handwriting orders on a form can be a tedious and time-consuming task; paper printouts of relevant forms is also very expensive and wasteful. All these limitations reduce the productivity of the sales reps while also impacting customer satisfaction.
To truly capitalize on modern-day tools these sales and customer service reps will need to transition to the mobile phones and apps, with always-on connectivity and access to up-to-date customer information at their fingertips.
Property management companies, big and small, are turning to mobile apps to utilize advanced form capabilities that have previously been unavailable. Apps can store forms and other related data in the secure, reliable cloud system. Form data can be available on multiple systems for multiple users and can easily share evolving information in real time. Additionally, automation allows the configuration of alerts based on data inputted in real time, notifying management when further actions are needed.
Never encounter another case of the human error that can take place when using paper forms.
Mobile forms eradicate the hassle and cost of paper forms. The flexibility offered by creating, editing, and sharing forms in real-time establishes mobile forms as an advantageous supplement in any industry with field employees, notably the property management industry.
