ResMan Expands Marketing Capabilities with New CRM, Chatbot, and Contact Center Solutions  

Plano, TX, October 31, 2022 – ResMan®, a leading property management SaaS platform provider, today announced the extension of the ResMan platform to include CRM, Chatbot, and Contact Center. These new capabilities complement the platform’s modern, high conversion website solution, allowing property management companies that use the ResMan platform to increase lead-to-lease conversion and reduce marketing spend while offering renters the most seamless and engaging rental experience. 

“Our focus continues to be on enabling our customers to succeed. With our new CRM, Chatbot, and Contact Center capabilities, we are making it easier for customers to fill vacant units and maximize effective rent while reducing marketing spend, so they not only run better, but also operate more profitably,” said Michael Dunn, CEO, ResMan. 

Beyond these new Marketing capabilities, ResMan has also recently introduced ResMan Utilities, which includes utility billing, invoice processing and vacant unit cost recovery (VRCU) capabilities, as well as advanced budgeting and reporting modules and a new applicant screening solution. The expansion of the platform, as well as enhancements that the team continues to make to the platform’s core accounting and operations capabilities, are allowing more and more mid-sized property management companies that have been trapped using dated, piecemeal technology solutions from providers that focus their attention on serving the top end of the market to make the switch to ResMan’s modern, easier to use and more fully integrated platform.  

“2022 has been an incredible year of growth for the ResMan platform,” Dunn continued, “both in terms of the breadth of capabilities that we now offer and also the number of new customers that have made the switch to ResMan. We’re hearing over and over again from organizations that last saw ResMan in 2019 how amazed they are at the breadth and depth of the solution, as well as the passion with which our customers talk about ResMan and the impact our technology and customer support have for their business.”    

The full ResMan platform, including the new CRM, Chatbot, and Contact Center capabilities, will be featured in ResMan’s booth #429 at NMHC’s OPTECH 2022 Conference & Exhibition which takes place November 1-3 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas.  

For those that are unable to make it to Vegas, ResMan will also be featuring CRM, Chatbot and Contact Center, along with our websites solution in a webinar on December 8^th at 1pm CT.

4 Ways Nexus AP Automation Software and ResMan Can Help Mitigate Inflation 

You may have heard that adding Nexus AP automation and payments software to your ResMan property management system can save AP teams lots of time capturing, coding, approving, and paying invoices. 

But eliminating manual workload isn’t the only benefit of integrating these two software platforms. 

Here are four ways Nexus AP automation software and ResMan can help multifamily companies mitigate inflation – which has hit 40-year highs and shows no signs of going away soon. 

1. Shrink overbudget spend – often by 15% 

By integrating Nexus and ResMan, AP teams can easily identify where properties are tracking compared to their forecasted spend – without ever opening Excel or bouncing back and forth between the two platforms. 

Budgets – and actuals – are synced from ResMan every night into the NexusPayables software. So, when an invoice arrives in NexusPayables (often fully coded and through electronic means), an AP manager can compare the invoice to budget and actuals for the line item, property, category, and GL code before they approve it for payment. Approved invoices (and their associated image) are synced to ResMan. 

Some companies even set up approval workflows to automatically route over-budget invoices to different approvers within NexusPayables. 

All this gives the AP team a near real-time view of the expenses incurred to date. From there, they can choose to: 

• Hold back on spending to offset higher invoices 
• Encourage property managers to adjust their spending 
• Renegotiate their rates with suppliers and secure better pricing 
• Change suppliers 

Some Nexus customers say that by having that data easily at their fingertips, they can reduce over-budget spend by 15% or more. 

2. Lessen Duplicate Purchasing  

With the Nexus/ResMan integration, property managers, maintenance teams, and others can generate an electronic purchase order – within NexusPayables – before they purchase goods and services. 

With a few clicks in NexusPayables, users can create an electronic PO and have it routed automatically to the appropriate approver(s) for their review. 

By requiring an electronic PO for purchases before the purchase, rather than after, AP teams can often reduce duplicate purchasing because they can: 

• See spend from previous years  
• Track what they’re ordering and compare it to what has been ordered already 

This is particularly true for office supplies, which can get out of hand easily. In fact, some Nexus customers report the online electronic PO system allows them to save 30% on office supplies alone. 

3. Lower procurement costs by centralizing procurement – often saving as much as 15% 

ResMan clients can incorporate all their national and specialized supply catalogs directly into their NexusPayables platform for trackable and centralized ordering (often requiring an e-PO).  

They can require maintenance, property managers, and other users to order from these catalogs – which often reflect specialized pricing that’s been previously negotiated. In fact, some Nexus customers say they’ve reduced prices 10-15% off retail, using their embedded online catalogs. 

They also gain more control by restricting purchasing to approved brands and SKUs.  

4. Bring down costs associated with issuing supplier payments by 40% 

By adding on NexusPayments functionality, ResMan clients can eliminate about 40% of the costs associated with issuing vendor payments. With just clicks, they’ll manage every step of the payment process online, no matter how many vendors they have or bank accounts they use. 

ResMan clients simply generate a file of approved invoices in ResMan and send it electronically to Nexus. Designated approvers – which can include the controller, CFO, or others – review the transactions an approve or reject them for immediate payment. From there, Nexus debits the designated bank accounts and pays vendors directly from those accounts. 

Nexus will issue a Nexus Virtual Card, ACH, or outsourced check, based on client and suppliers’ preferences.  

Many clients find they can eliminate paper checks the moment they launch NexusPayments because so many suppliers trust the Nexus Virtual Card for payment. This, in turn, slashes payments costs by about 40% because there’s no longer a need to purchase check stock, postage, toner, or printers. 

Integrate ResMan and Nexus Easily 

At a time when every penny counts, automating invoice processing and payments with Nexus and ResMan make more sense than ever. AP teams will save time, reduce their workload, and even lower their hard costs. And, thanks to the seamless – and longtime – integration between Nexus and ResMan, all these benefits are available without any heavy lift by your teams.  

Both ResMan and Nexus will be at NAA Apartmentalize 2022, June 22nd-24th in San Diego! Let us show you how we can work best for you.

ResMan Recognized as one of the Top 50 Best Places to Work in Multifamily

PLANO, Texas, Dec. 13, 2021 — ResMan®, a leading property management SaaS platform provider, has ranked #15 in the nationwide Top 50 Best Places to Work Multifamily®. The annual list of “Best Places to Work Multifamily®” is published by Multifamily Leadership and was announced at the Multifamily Awards show on December 8, 2021.

The multifamily industry, serving apartments and their residents, contributes more than $3.4 trillion to the economy annually, supporting more than 17.5 million jobs. As CEOs and executive teams create culture and innovation around the resident experience, employee engagement is seen as a key driver to meet multiple challenges. The Best Places to Work Multifamily® program recognizes those companies who have established and consistently foster outstanding workplace environments.

“We are pleased to be recognized by Multifamily Leadership and our own employees as a great place to work in this industry,” said Michael Dunn, chief executive officer, ResMan. “This is yet another proof point of our commitment to our team culture, and how our employees make ResMan a great place to work every day. I’m so grateful to everyone here for their relentless drive to succeed on behalf of our customers.”

The rigorous assessment process for this award evaluated each company’s employee policies and procedures as well as responses from the company’s employees.

“Employee engagement is actually a much more powerful indicator of organizational success than the size of the company, as employee engagement is tied to behavior and higher performance,” said Patrick Antrim, Founder and CEO of Multifamily Leadership. “Next generation leaders want to know their company is making a positive impact on the world. They want to know the vision and mission of the organization and that the leaders of the organization are going to drive that mission and vision. This is becoming increasingly more important as society is asking businesses to play a bigger role. The Best Places to Work Multifamily® companies have stepped up to play that role and will have a much bigger voice in the future.”

ResMan Further Enhances Executive Team With New CTO

PLANO, Texas, October 25th, 2021 – ResMan®, a leading property management SaaS platform provider, today announces that Nick Olsen has been promoted to Chief Technology Officer. In his new role Olsen will drive ResMan’s evolution to a full stack platform that allows multifamily and affordable housing managers to operate more efficiently. Olsen will be responsible for all technology and engineering resources that support ResMan’s software solutions, as well as research and development needed to maintain the company’s market-leading product positioning.

New Capabilities Make it Easier Than Ever for Affordable Housing Providers to Stay in Compliance While Meeting the Needs of A Broader Range of Low-Income Renters

PLANO, Texas, October 14th, 2021 – ResMan®, a leading property management SaaS platform provider, today announced the addition of Average Income Test capabilities, making it easier than ever before for tax credit properties to ensure they stay compliant as they take advantage of this complex but impactful set aside.  

ResMan’s new and enhanced Average Income Test capabilities eliminate the complexity and worry about program compliance by calculating everything automatically within the platform and displaying program metrics right within the Compliance Center dashboard. The robust new capabilities handle all situations – including fixed and floating units as well as layered programs that use the set aside while helping properties minimizing potential compliance risks.  

Under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC) Average Income Test set aside, properties may lease their rent-restricted units to tenants with up to 80 percent of the median gross income for the area, as long as the average income of tenants in rent-restricted units doesn’t exceed 60 percent of the area’s median gross income. This set aside provides greater flexibility for properties to serve individuals and families with very low-income levels, as well as those with income levels below the area average but above other LIHTC set-aside limits. While the Average Income Test set aside is a win-win for developers, owners, properties and applicants from a housing standpoint, these programs are more challenging to manage, requiring many property management companies and compliance departments to maintain complex spreadsheets to track required data. 

“As part of our commitment to the affordable housing industry, ResMan has taken action to implement best-in-class compliance tracking and management for this set aside because it offers such impactful benefits for residents, owners, investors and property management companies,” said ResMan’s SVP of Product, Janel Ganim. “Our involvement in the industry uniquely positions us to stay on top of any technology changes that may be necessary as the final regulations are handed down, so our customers can be confident that our solution will allow them to stay compliant with the Average Income Test set aside, as well as all other LIHTC regulation changes that may come in the future.”  

The ResMan team will participate in the NAHMA Biannual Top Issues in Affordable Housing Conference to be held virtually October 19-22, and will showcase the new Average Income Test capabilities in the Fall Affordable Housing Update Webinar scheduled for November 2 at 1 p.m. CT. 

ResMan’s Elizabeth Francisco to Moderate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Panel at Upcoming FAA Annual Conference & Trade Show  

Plano, TX, October 6, 2021 – ResMan®, a leading property management SaaS platform provider, today announced that ResMan President, Elizabeth Francisco, will be moderating a panel presentation at the Florida Apartment Association’s 2021 Annual Conference & Trade Show. Titled “Trailblazing Your Way to the Table with Confidence,” the session is scheduled for Thursday, October 14th at 3:15 p.m.  

Panelists include Sonya Rosenbach, CFO of Allied Orion Group; Antoinette Williams, Regional Vice President for Carroll Management Group; and Jimmy Chestnut, Vice President for Incore Residential.  Francisco’s focus will be to bring all perspectives to the table to share challenges faced, mistakes made, and ultimately how individuals successfully navigated obstacles to become senior leaders in their organizations. Attendees will gain helpful insights into how the panelists prepared for senior leadership differently as well as what may be holding them back in their own career growth.  

“The annual FAA conference is one of my favorite events. I’m excited to see everyone in person again, and am looking forward to moderating a discussion on a topic that often does not receive enough attention, given how critical it is to our industry,” says Francisco. “The number of women and minorities represented in leadership roles in multifamily and commercial real estate is well below 20% for women and single digits for minorities. The goal of this session is to share what we have learned to help guide and inspire the next generation of industry professionals so we can begin to see progress towards more equitable representation.”     

In addition to moderating a session, ResMan team members will also be showcasing their industry-leading property management platform in booth #307. Highlights include ResMan Websites; new budgeting and payments capabilities; an Investor Management solution; as well as expanded Affordable Housing capabilities including electronic signatures, rural development compliance and support for the average income test set-aside. Those interested in seeing the platform in action, can pre-register for a demo. Visitors to the booth can also enter to win a $1,000 ultimate travel gift card.

“ResMan is redefining property management platforms for property management companies and fee managers across the U.S.,” said DiCicco. “The management team is top-notch, with experience in building companies during their high-growth stages – and customers love the platform. It’s an exciting time to be at ResMan.”  

“The promotion of Michael to COO and the addition of Tahlor to lead our marketing team will be instrumental in taking ResMan to the next level,” said Bridgewater. “Michael’s commitment to our customers is unparalleled and his unrelenting focus on operational excellence will only make the experience for our customers even better. The combination of Michael’s expertise in product and strategy and Tahlor’s ability to execute on the marketing side will fuel ResMan’s next phase of growth.”
