Office building manager upgrades with online payables processing, tenant services and marketing
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., Jan. 27, 2016 – Furst Properties LLC entered a new era of property management, accounting, tenant service and marketing capabilities with its adoption of the fully mobilized Yardi Voyager® 7S platform.
Furst Properties extended the Yardi Voyager platform by adding products from the Yardi Commercial Suite™, including COMMERCIALCafé™, Yardi Procure to Pay™ and Yardi Payment Processing™.
“As a Web-based platform, Voyager and the Commercial Suite give us several significant new capabilities. Our staff can approve invoices in the field without having to return to the office, and automated online workflows mean they get approved in two hours, rather than two days. Our tenants can make payments online, including recurring payments, which gets money into our account much faster,” said Pedro Ochoa, senior property accountant for Furst Properties. “And listing our available properties online provides a competitive advantage by expanding our visibility to prospective tenants.”
He added, “These integrated, online capabilities bring us into a new era of internal efficiency, tenant service and marketing outreach.”
“Furst Properties has been a valued Yardi® client since 2000. We are pleased to provide our latest technology to help them adapt to changing marketplace conditions and tenant demands,” said Terri Dowen, senior vice president of sales for Yardi.
