Property Solutions International, Inc., the largest resource for property management websites and payments, announced that The Habitat Company has selected Property Solutions to create and manage its websites and provide online payment options.
Habitat was looking to upgrade its website capabilities to make web-based transactions available to both residents and prospects. After piloting Property Solutions' portals, payments, and integration with selected properties, Habitat rolled-out similar solutions across their entire market-rate portfolio. While working collaboratively with Property Solutions, Habitat created merchant accounts, gathered property information, and set up websites and resident portals. After seven months, Habitat experienced a 135 percent increase in online payment participation largely due to management focus, payment integration, and resident adoption.
"As our trust in Property Solutions' technology solidified, we began to rely heavily on the seamless integration between our property management software and our website to post real-time availability and specials accurately," said Maureen Vaughn, Habitat's VP of Marketing and Communications. "The technology is an extra tool in our cache that gives us an advantage in a competitive market."
Property Solutions' payment integration allows properties to shorten their payment processing time up to 60 percent and reduce NSF's up to 90 percent. Habitat has rolled out several products with Property Solutions including ResidentPay™ for online payment processing, ResidentPortal™ and ProspectPortal™ for websites, and ILS Portal™ for third-party website marketing. "We're excited to be working with Habitat and pleased that their properties and units have adopted our solutions so seamlessly," said Ben Zimmer, President of Property Solutions. "We look forward to working closely with Habitat in piloting and developing new tools."
