Analytics

Portfolio Analytics

Gain economies of scale by leveraging your portfolio’s reserve study data.

When it comes to leveraging the power of data, management companies have been under served. Most products provide management companies with oversight of individual communities, but fail to look at the bigger picture. SmartProperty aims to change this with Portfolio Analytics.

Portfolio Analytics is a suite of tools built-in to the SmartProperty platform that is exclusive to management companies. It allows you to leverage reserves data across your entire portfolio so you can better serve your clients.

Source of Revenue and Education!

Since signing up I have performed more than 30 Reserve Studies for our clients. We were already providing most of the information to the reserve study specialist (work completed, costs, expected projects, etc.) so being able to provide our own reserve studies is saving us time and created a new stream of revenue. We can now modify or work on funding plans with Board Members at Board Meetings which has been a great opportunity for education!

How it
Works

As the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out. If every community’s reserve study data is different, it’s impossible for your management company to compare that data at a portfolio level.

That’s why, when your management company signs up to become a SmartProperty partner, we begin by taking all of the reserve studies you have gathered for the communities in your portfolio and organize, normalize, and digitize them.

We will map the components in each reserve study to match your GL accounts and standardize component names and categories so that the elements are consistent across your portfolio. This data standardization allows you to benchmark communities in your portfolio so you can compare similar components and projects across your entire portfolio.

At the same time, SmartProperty will conduct a reserve study update to match the actuals from your accounting system, update replacement costs according to inflation and other market costs, and create new funding models. Finally, we will load your clients’ reserve studies onto The Living Reserve Study™ platform.

SmartProperty will continue to perform this service as you bring new communities on board to ensure your analytics are consistent and actionable. We’ll even help you promote the service to your clients!

Unlock value in your management company by implementing The Living Reserve Study™. Offering reserve studies to your clients is only the beginning. SmartProperty’s Management Advantage program gives management companies the tools you need to increase value in your service offerings.
