In recent years, the tenant experience (TeX) space has been flooded with new software providers and offerings, often making it difficult to identify the best property management app from the rest. However, the pandemic has drastically changed where, when, and how people work, and commercial office owners must now take a hybrid approach to the workplace by creating exceptional physical and digital experiences. Thus, the market has seen the fairly recent introduction of advanced property management software and other technologies that aim to enhance any property.
Property management software, or software that helps streamline and automate the day-to-day responsibilities for property teams, has been around for the past several years. This software is capable of functionalities such as marketing one’s portfolio, lease management, measuring and maintaining portfolio performance, tenant retention, and customer satisfaction. Property management software ensures that owners, managers, and operators can succeed in evolving markets. Such technologies can also help teams gather additional meaningful data about their buildings to help strengthen their strategies at scale in less time.
At its best, property management software fosters these experiences through accessible avenues. Cell phones are a powerful way to reach tenants: in fact, the average American checks their phone 96 times a day. With over 8,000 proptech companies available to the office sector, it can be difficult to determine exactly which commercial property management software solutions are the best fit for one’s portfolio. Ranging from apps, to online property management software, to otherwise disparate building systems, the most effective office technology integrations require more than just the software alone.
The very nature of the HqOS Marketplace emphasizes that in a constantly changing market, commercial real estate technology works better together. The Marketplace allows property teams to discover and manage best-in-class proptech partners all in one place.
Even the most basic, simple property management software can seem daunting without prior knowledge of the crucial capabilities a modern-day office building requires. With the HqOS Marketplace, property owners can leave the technical complexity of integrating property management software to us: our ecosystem of providers is completely interoperable with HqOS™ — saving our clients crucial time on finding compatible solutions for their buildings. Here are some of the best property management apps that operate within the HqOS Marketplace:
Though these property management apps each aim to solve unique issues for commercial real estate professionals, the need for disparate capabilities to operate within greater systems persists. It’s clear that the growing ecosystem of technology partners in HqOS™ — including such property management apps from Join Digital, Jones, Angus Systems and Building Engines — can not only reduce administrative processes for property teams, but also help create overall seamless experiences for tenants throughout your building.
The vision of a true operating system for commercial real estate — which includes access to pre-vetted best-in-class technology partners, a tenant-facing platform, and data collection and analytics tools — has always guided HqO’s unique approach to tenant experience and engagement. A combined platform and mobile app model, alongside a marketplace for finding and configuring technology apps into white-labeled tenant experience products, an enterprise-grade user authorization model, and a cadre of analytics tools, all coalesce into HqOS™ — the first end-to-end operating system for office buildings.
Here’s how each layer of the HqOS operating system for tenant experience is specifically designed to complement these existing partner technologies, and allow our clients access to their best-in-class services:
The HqOS™ system is even more impactful when integrated with additional property management software for landlords, which is why our ecosystem of providers is completely interoperable with HqOS.
