In the tumultuous landscape of proptech, there are always new innovations and trends. It can be hard to juggle an ever-growing tech stack, so having a smooth adoption process is more important than ever.

At Rently, we understand that to run a successful business, you need scalable solutions and visibility into your operations. That’s why we built an all-in-one platform so you can see all your activity at a portfolio, community, and property/unit level, with just one login. Rently integrates with dozens of other proptech vendors, ensuring that you’re getting the info you need and more, while streamlining your workflow.

From property data imports to smart home hardware compatibility, Rently fits seamlessly into your tech stack. Switching has never been easier!

Property Management Softwares (PMS) & Customer Relationship Managers (CRM)

Rently integrates with major property management software systems, including Yardi Voyager, Entrata, Appfolio, and Buildium. Additionally, we can integrate with custom systems using APIs and webhooks. Our integrations provide easy and concise reporting of self-tour activity in your communities.

Here’s how it works:

Property Pull: Rently “pulls” data about your model/available units from your property management software. Then, you can easily activate units for self-touring without having to re-enter unit details into our system.

Guest Card Sync: Rently sends guest card info for all self-guided tours to your property management software so that you can easily follow up with self-guided tour prospects in the same way you would with any in-person tour prospect. We will update the guest card throughout the entire leasing cycle — tour scheduling, completion, feedback, and lease signings — so you have a complete set of information about your leasing activity.

In addition to regular data synchronization for every four hours, the Rently Manager Portal has a manual sync button to pull data as needed.

These integrations ensure precise and reliable data transfer, minimizing errors and discrepancies in your records. With this data, Rently can also create reports for your onsite staff and ownership groups. This saves you time and makes all of your self-touring data readily available on all of your leasing activity platforms.

Lead Generation and Touring

In addition to our own internet listings site (ILS), Rently Listings, we syndicate our clients’ single-family listings to the top ILSs, including Zillow, Apartments.com, Zumper, and Trulia. This allows you to expand your reach with no extra effort—we handle all the property info for you! Combined with our PMS/CRM integrations, this ensures that renters can easily book tours and that you can track their progress.

Self-guided tours are easy to set up, and you have complete control of the times you want properties to be available to tour. Managers have the option to approve or deny individual self-tour requests, or to simply automate the bookings.

However, self-guided tours aren’t a replacement for agents, and offering multiple types of tours is a quick way to boost lead-to-lease conversions. Rently’s Agent Scheduler allows renters to book a tour directly on an agent’s calendar through our Google/Microsoft Calendar integrations.

On the hardware side, our latest integration with CodeBox allows clients to use their existing CodeBox digital lockboxes to enable self-guided tours with Rently. Clients also have the option to purchase or lease lockboxes directly from us. This gives customers full control of their self-showing device inventory without worrying about buying additional hardware.

Smart Home Hardware

We pride ourselves on scalability, so we’ve made it easy to incorporate any smart home devices into Rently’s platform, including many of your existing devices. The Rently Smart Home Hub is compatible with Z-Wave devices, and our next iteration of the Hub will also support Matter protocol.

Rently offers a suite of best-in-class proprietary smart home devices to help you get started, as well as devices from other manufacturers such as Yale, Kwikset, HoneyWell, and more, all available from an online store for convenient ordering. On top of that, we have full integrations with Google Home and Amazon Alexa.

Implementations and Support

At Rently, we understand that a smooth set-up and installation is key to a positive experience. That’s why we offer services and resources to help facilitate smart home deployments, including an app for guided installation, a network of trained installers, and a knowledge base of self-help articles for managers, residents, and technicians.

Rently’s “Installer Workflow” in our Smart Home app empowers technicians with powerful, automated tools for rapid smart home deployments and provides managers with real-time oversight of installations.

With nationwide integrators available, property owners can deploy Rently’s solutions at scale with ease. Our trained specialist ensure efficient installations, reducing post-install issues and expediting your time-to-market. Additionally, our customer success managers provide training for your staff, reducing the cost of employee time.

All of this also comes with a dedicated Implementations team that will walk you through the entire process, taking on technical and integrations support with quick response times. Our Implementations team provides more than just basic setup—it’s an ongoing strategic partnership.
