4 ways WeconnectU is helping shape a better property management industry

When people talk about WeconnectU, they usually talk about our software. We’re extremely proud of our solutions, but we like to think the role we play is about more than just technology.

‍

To us, what we do is about partnership. About collaboration. About shaping the future of property management in a way that makes things tangibly better for everyone involved.

‍

Here are four of the ways we go about getting this right.

‍

‍

Problem-solving

‍

From the very beginning, WeconnectU was created to solve the 4 biggest challenges affecting the property management industry: compliance, scalability, manageability and profitability.

Having come from the industry ourselves, we understood how severely these challenges – if left unchecked – would hinder property management business’ ability to grow and thrive in their increasingly complex operational and regulatory landscape.

‍

Time-consuming compliance obligations would continue to increase workloads and risk. Overheads would continue to grow right alongside portfolios. Managers would continue to fight to track even the most basic KPIs across disparate tools and opaque workflows. Time would continue to be a luxury most business owners didn’t have, and proactive management practices would continue to be an unachievable dream.

‍

As a result, property managers would continue to be sorely undervalue, and profitability would continue to suffer. Unless someone, somewhere, put on their problem-solving hat.

‍

That someone was us. And problem solving remains at the heart of what we do.

‍

Our solutions already successfully address all four of these key challenges, and we continue to collaborate with the industry to identify new and emerging challenges that we can solve with innovative use of technology.

‍

We’ve been proud to witness how effectively this has enabled our clients to achieve new heights of success and profitability. It’s a change we hope to keep spreading throughout the property management industry.

‍

‍

Empowerment

‍

Our problem-solving efforts aren’t just about driving direct profits, either. We also firmly believe in empowering property managers to fulfil their critical role more easily and effectively, while also receiving the recognition they deserve for this frequently undervalued service.

‍

We go about this in several ways, but one of the most effective (to date) is transparency –bringing to light the entire iceberg of services property managers provide, rather than the tiny tip most of their clients would otherwise see.

‍

By making the full spectrum of value-adding services not just easier to deliver but also more visible, we’ve found WeconnectU clients face less pushback on fees and are able to maintain happier, healthier and less burned-out teams.

‍

‍

Innovation

‍

WeconnectU is a mission-critical tool for more than 1450 property management business and12 000+ property professionals across South Africa. That’s a responsibility we take very seriously.

‍

Accepting the status quo is just not our style. We are committed to continuous improvement through ongoing innovation.

‍

A vital component of this is collaboration – working with our clients to identify, analyse and solve their emerging challenges and uncover opportunities to better our existing solutions.

‍

The result is a software ecosystem that continues to evolve as the industry shifts and changes, not just supporting – but driving – positive growth and development for a better property management industry for all.

‍

‍

Change Management

‍

Of course, change is never easy and we’re not blind to the challenges adopting new software can bring. Particularly in an industry as pressurised as property management.

‍

We’re not about to let that hold us – or our clients – back from positive change, however. That’s why we are fully committed to ensuring every business that joins the WeconnectU family has a smooth and successful transition.

‍

To that end, all our solutions have been meticulously designed for seamless migration and easy adoption, and onboarding is supported by our expert customer success agents dedicated to helping our clients reap the full benefits of our consolidated ecosystem.

‍

We’ve removed all barriers that might prevent your business from upgrading to WeconnectU. The only question that remains is: when are you going to join the movement and make the change?
