Description
AppFolio Property Manager is a web-based system with accounting and management capabilities. The software is built by the founders of Citrix GoToMyPC and GoToMeeting, who are experts in web-based technology. It is a comprehensive system that serves as the central hub for all business needs, including marketing, accounting, online rent payments, applicant screening and online applications, and other key processes.
This system offers novel approaches to traditional management problems; one example is free online rent collection. Consequently, it’s often the case that more renters will choose to pay online in the absence of extra fees for online payment. This is a beneficial time-saver for users. Built-in screening of prospective residents is a new feature to the system, so users can actually run a screen right from AppFolio and move the resident into the apartment / house in just a few clicks.
The company offers product training and support for an unlimited number of users. In addition, the system’s data migration capabilities can incorporate property, owner, tenant, and financial information from other solutions into AppFolio. Integrated marketing functionality allows vacancies to be posted directly from the system into a company website and other third-party sites, like Craigslist, Rentals.com, Apartments.com, Rentbits, Oodle, and more.
Other capabilities include vacancy and rent tracking, automatic posting of bills, database-wide searching, paperless work order generation, Google Map integration, report customization, mobile iPhone access, and others. Services include extensive ongoing support and training, as well as monthly software enhancements based on client feedback. Individual Client Services Managers are assigned for particular system users at the time of data migration, and requests for feedback can be submitted directly from within the system.
