In the modern property landscape, institutional owners and operators face ever-growing challenges: rising operational costs, increased competition, and the need to create value for residents and investors. The solution? Smart technology. By centralising all resident interactions into one platform, operators can unlock new opportunities to enhance resident satisfaction, streamline operations, and ultimately drive asset value.

With Residently’s rental operating system, all interactions between residents and property managers are in one unified platform. This integration forms the backbone of a smarter, more connected resident journey. Imagine having a 360-degree view of all resident activity – from rent payments and maintenance requests to community engagement. When this data is harnessed effectively, institutional owners can then layer complex, value-driven schemes on top, transforming everyday resident interactions into meaningful opportunities for retention and growth.
One of the key benefits of having all resident data in one place is the ability to incentivise positive resident behaviours through a rewards program. With Residently, institutional owners can implement a points-based rewards system, encouraging residents to pay rent on time, provide early notice for move-outs, or raise maintenance requests proactively. Residents can then exchange these points for rewards like gift cards or exclusive offers within our resident app.
This gamification of the resident journey fosters deeper engagement and creates a positive feedback loop: residents are happier, they stay longer, and they promote your property to others. Enhanced resident retention directly reduces turnover costs, while the added satisfaction boosts your brand’s reputation.
The benefits of a resident rewards system extend beyond retention. Property managers can also support broader asset management strategies by shaping resident behaviour through rewards. For instance, residents could be rewarded for contributing to ESG goals by submitting energy usage reports or opting for sustainable living choices. Or you could reward residents for engaging in community activities and events to help create a more vibrant environment driving long-term value for owners and operators.
This strategy is also a win-win when it comes to maintenance. Encouraging residents to report minor issues or perform small fixes themselves, such as resetting circuit breakers, can prevent larger, costlier maintenance requests down the line. This ensures the property remains in good condition and helps control operational costs.
Rewarding positive behaviour also opens up new avenues for ancillary revenue. By partnering with local businesses or service providers, institutional owners can offer exclusive discounts or deals in exchange for points earned in the resident app. This adds value to the resident experience and generates additional revenue streams.
Furthermore, a resident loyalty program is an effective tool for brand promotion. Instead of relying on third-party platforms, Residently’s in-app rewards system allows property managers to build their own brand loyalty. Every time a resident earns points for paying rent on time, leaves a review, or refers a friend, they engage directly with your property’s brand – not someone else’s. This drives long-term brand equity, making your property more appealing to prospective renters and investors.
The rental industry is evolving, and adopting smart technology is critical to staying competitive.
Residently’s innovative rental operating system simplifies property management and empowers owners to deliver an exceptional resident experience, driving increased yields, higher retention, and sustainable growth. As we look to the future, it’s clear that technology is the key to unlocking a new era of renting—one where residents are happier, operations are more efficient, and institutional owners thrive.
Let’s bring your portfolio into this new era—together.
