Property Meld and Planomatic Partner to Combat Vacancy Rate and Investor Retention https://propertymeld.com/blog/property-meld-and-planomatic-partner-to-combat-vacancy-rate-and-investor-retention/ Tue, 08 Apr 2025 18:49:34 +0000 https://propertymeld.com/?p=9920 April 8, 2025 – Rapid City, SD — In a move to advance property management operations nationwide, Property Meld, the leading property maintenance operations platform, has expanded its Vendor Nexus program to include its first-ever listing media services partner, PlanOmatic.

April 8, 2025 – Rapid City, SD — In a move to advance property management operations nationwide, Property Meld, the leading property maintenance operations platform, has expanded its Vendor Nexus program to include its first-ever listing media services partner, PlanOmatic. Originally developed to strengthen connectivity between third-party vendors managing maintenance requests and property managers across the United States and Canada, the Vendor Nexus program now broadens its reach beyond just maintenance coordination.

With this new partnership, Property Meld and PlanOmatic aim to solve a crucial challenge in the single-family rental market: maximizing retention by efficiently transitioning properties from make-ready to market-ready as fast as possible. By partnering with PlanOmatic’s rapid deployment of professional photography 3D tours and floor plans into the Vendor Nexus program, property managers can now turn units faster and list properties instantly, reducing vacancy time, maximizing rental income, and improving operational efficiency.

This collaboration fits into Property Meld’s ‘Nexus’ ecosystem, marking a significant step in their mission to eliminate inefficiencies, drive data-driven decisions, and redefine property maintenance through connectivity.

“We know every day a unit sits empty is money lost for property managers and their investors. The moment a turnover is complete, it should be listed as soon as possible. Adding PlanOmatic to Vendor Nexus means the disjointed maintenance and listing process will reduce extended vacancies tremendously,” said Ray Hespen, CEO of Property Meld. “This partnership directly supports our mission to optimize property maintenance operations; giving property managers the tools they need to be efficient, profitable, and retention-proof. It’s a win-win.”

Through Vendor Nexus, property managers can assign work to trusted vendors like PlanOmatic directly within Property Meld—making it easy to schedule services such as photography and virtual tours the moment a turnover is complete. This reduces days to list, improves visibility for prospective residents, and strengthens relationships with investors by getting their properties rented faster. In fact, PlanOmatic guarantees the delivery of high-quality photos within 2.5 days of a property manager’s order, recognizing the impact vacant units have on a property management company’s bottom line.

“Having watched Property Meld’s Vendor Nexus come to life, it’s an honor to be a part of the platform and movement,” said Kori Covrigaru, CEO of PlanOmatic. “We look forward to servicing property managers with professional photography 3D tours and floor plans nationwide in order to lease vacancies faster, elevate the industry and property manager brands across the country.”

This collaboration reinforces Property Meld’s mission to help property managers deliver world-class maintenance while creating operational efficiency across the board—from the first maintenance request to the final leasing photo.

In the world of property maintenance, efficiency and visibility are everything. That’s why Property Meld is thrilled to announce our latest integration with zInspector, a powerful inspection tool designed to streamline and enhance property inspections. This collaboration gives property managers the ability to seamlessly connect inspections with work orders, ensuring that action items don’t fall through the cracks.

 

How Property Meld and zInspector Work Together

With this long-awaited Property Meld and zInspector integration, property managers and maintenance teams can now bridge the gap between inspections and work orders effortlessly. 

Here’s how it works:

  • zInspector users can generate detailed property inspections, identifying necessary repairs and categorizing action items.
  • Once an inspection is completed, repair items are automatically transformed into work orders (Melds) in Property Meld.
  • These Melds can be assigned to trusted vendors or internal technicians immediately, ensuring faster response times and improved operational efficiency.

This automation eliminates the need for manual entry, reducing errors and delays while ensuring that maintenance issues are addressed promptly. This partnership is a long overdue solution that enhances Property Maintenance Operations (PMO) at scale.

 

Where We’re Headed: Future Innovations in Inspections & Maintenance

While this partnership is a major step forward, the future of this integration holds even greater possibilities. Here’s a glimpse into what’s on the horizon:

 

Revolutionizing Turnovers and Maintenance Visibility

In future iterations of the integration, zInspector and Property Meld will help property managers tackle turnovers with unparalleled efficiency:

  • Automated Turnover Projects – When an inspection is completed, turnover projects will be auto created, segmenting tasks by category and work type.
  • Smarter Resource Allocation – Property Meld’s robust scheduling capabilities will optimize work distribution based on technician or vendor availability.
  • Enhanced Cost and Revenue Insights – By linking repairs to financial data, property managers will gain unprecedented visibility into turnover performance and maintenance expenses.

When combined with advanced features like Work Type categorization and Insights, this integration will give property managers real time oversight into every aspect of their maintenance operation.

 

The Bigger Picture: Inspections and Vendor Nexus

At Property Meld, we see this as just the beginning. With inspections playing a crucial role in preventative maintenance and operational efficiency, we are actively expanding our integrations. Alongside zInspector, we’re introducing partnerships with Inspectify and additional vendors through our Vendor Nexus program. 

 

Why This Matters for Property Managers

Maintenance is one of the biggest challenges in property management, and inspections are the key to staying ahead of costly repairs and inefficiencies. With the Property Meld and zInspector integration, property managers can:

  •  Reduce delays between inspections and repairs
  •  Automate the creation of work orders from inspections
  •  Improve communication between teams, vendors, and technicians
  •  Gain deeper insights into turnover timelines and maintenance performance

 

If you’re a Property Meld or zInspector user, now is the time to take advantage of this game-changing integration. Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of property maintenance efficiency.

In today’s fast-paced property management world, efficiency is everything—especially when it comes to property maintenance operations. Property Meld’s powerful platform seamlessly integrates with leading property accounting systems like AppFolio, Buildium, Rent Manager, and Propertyware, transforming how companies handle maintenance. These integrations provide more than just data syncing; they unlock advanced features that streamline workflows, enhance communication, and offer real-time visibility into maintenance processes. By partnering these platforms with Property Meld, property management companies can optimize their operations, reduce response times, and ultimately create better experiences for both their teams and residents. This article explores how each integration works and the positive outcomes it delivers for maintenance efficiency and overall business success.

 

 

 Property Meld integrations

 

 

Rent Manager and Property Meld 

The Property Meld and Rent Manager partnership integration is designed to streamline maintenance management for property management companies, helping them achieve greater efficiency and improved outcomes. 

By syncing Property Meld with Rent Manager, critical information like resident details, property data, and work orders automatically flow between the two systems. This seamless data exchange ensures that maintenance tasks are not only tracked accurately but also aligned with your existing processes, reducing manual entry and the risk of errors. 

But how does this integration really help property managers? For starters, it significantly reduces administrative overhead. No more juggling between platforms—everything from resident requests to work order updates syncs effortlessly, allowing your team to focus on higher-priority tasks. By automating these routine processes, you’re not only saving time but also ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks, which can be crucial when dealing with maintenance issues.

Additionally, Property Meld integrations provide a comprehensive view of your maintenance operations. With real-time data flowing between Rent Manager and Property Meld, you can track the status of each work order and gain valuable insights into your maintenance team’s performance. This visibility helps property management companies make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and ultimately improve the resident experience.

The outcome? Faster response times, streamlined workflows, and a reduction in costly errors. Property management companies using the Property Meld and Rent Manager integration report smoother operations, increased efficiency, and, most importantly, happier clients. This integration isn’t just about syncing data; it’s about transforming how you handle maintenance to drive better results across the board.

“When we can consolidate everything in the maintenance world in Property Meld and that directly links back to Rent Manager, it allows our property managers to build their solar system around Rent Manager… so they don’t have to check in every single supporting software the company uses. We can use the software that makes our maintenance team better and do that in Meld. Still, without that integration, it wouldn’t help the property manager.” – Josh Harrison, Maintenance Coordinator at Excalibur Homes.

 

 

Property Meld and Rent Manager

 

AppFolio and Property Meld 

The Property Meld and AppFolio partnership integration brings the best of both worlds to property management companies by connecting AppFolio’s powerful property accounting features with Property Meld’s dedicated maintenance operations platform. This integration allows for seamless syncing of key data such as property information, resident details, and work orders, making maintenance management more efficient and organized.

Through Property Meld integrations, maintenance requests initiated in AppFolio flow directly into Property Meld, where they can be managed and tracked with advanced tools specifically designed for maintenance operations. Property managers can take advantage of Property Meld’s robust scheduling, automated communication, and reporting features while ensuring all critical information stays updated in both systems. With real-time status updates and the ability to assign and track work orders, your team can handle maintenance tasks faster and more effectively.

Property Meld is purpose-built for maintenance, providing advanced automation and visibility. For example, Property Meld allows for more granular control over technician scheduling, automated follow-ups with residents, and better documentation of maintenance activities—all of which directly contribute to reducing response times and improving overall efficiency.

One of the main advantages of using Property Meld alongside AppFolio is the deep focus on resident satisfaction and operational excellence. Property Meld’s platform gives property managers the tools to streamline workflows, improve technician utilization, and offer residents a better experience through faster, more transparent communication. Additionally, Property Meld’s detailed reporting and analytics provide actionable insights that can help property management companies identify areas for improvement and optimize their operations.

In short, while AppFolio excels at managing broader property management tasks, integrating it with Property Meld offers property management companies a level of maintenance efficiency and visibility that only a dedicated solution can provide. This combination allows for faster, more efficient operations, ensuring that maintenance doesn’t just get done—it gets done well, with improved outcomes for both your team and your residents.

“Resident follow-up has really improved. With our old software, there wasn’t a system asking residents how their repair was. The fact that every single resident has the option to leave feedback allows us to monitor repairs better.”- Irelynn Zurflueh, Special Projects at Mckenna Property Management 

 

Property Meld and AppFolio

 

Buildium and Property Meld 

The integration between Property Meld and Buildium, a RealPage company, provides property management companies with a seamless connection between their property management and maintenance operations. With this integration, critical data like resident information, property details, and work orders automatically sync between Buildium and Property Meld, ensuring that maintenance tasks are managed efficiently and with greater visibility.

The integration allows work orders created in Buildium to flow directly into Property Meld, where property managers can leverage advanced maintenance management features such as automated scheduling, technician assignment, and real-time status updates. This streamlined process reduces manual input, saving time and minimizing errors that could slow down maintenance operations.

By integrating Buildium with Property Meld, property managers can automate resident communications, set reminders, and track all interactions and work order progress in one centralized platform. The ability to automatically keep residents informed throughout the maintenance process enhances transparency and improves satisfaction—a key factor in reducing churn and building trust.

The partnership between Buildium and Property Meld delivers significant operational benefits. Property Meld’s maintenance-specific tools are designed to streamline the workflow for property managers, technicians, and residents alike, leading to quicker response times and better communication. This results in more efficient maintenance operations, reduced downtime, and ultimately, cost savings. With Property Meld’s analytics and reporting capabilities, property managers can also gain insights into team performance, identify inefficiencies, and make data-driven decisions to improve overall operations.

The positive outcomes from this partnership are clear: less time spent on manual processes, improved communication, better maintenance response times, and a more satisfied resident base. Integrating Buildium and Property Meld provides property management companies with the tools to take their maintenance operations to the next level, ensuring maintenance issues are handled proactively, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to residents.

“I would say we have saved at least 50% of the total time across all of the people that have anything to do with managing work orders and invoices.” – Jim Elliott, Maintenance Manager at Century 21 Queenswood 

 

Property Meld and Buildium

 

Incorporating Property Meld integrations with leading property management platforms like Rent Manager, AppFolio, and Buildium not only streamlines maintenance operations but also elevates the entire maintenance experience for property management teams and residents. By automating processes, improving communication, and providing actionable insights, these integrations help property management companies save time, reduce errors, and deliver faster, more reliable service. The result? Increased efficiency, improved resident satisfaction, and a competitive edge in the market.

Over 200 property management professionals came together in Rapid City, SD, for the 2024 MX Maintenance Summit, where they tackled maintenance challenges, built valuable connections, and left inspired with new strategies to implement. This three-day event offered plenty of engaging sessions, fun activities, and networking opportunities that kept attendees energized.

Day 1: Setting the Foundation

The summit began with a warm welcome and a pre-conference sunrise hike that brought participants closer together as they took in South Dakota’s stunning scenery. With the formal agenda underway, Property Meld CEO Ray Hespen opened the day by sharing insights on the future of property maintenance and the impact of maintenance benchmarking. Throughout the day, experts delved into topics like building top-tier maintenance teams and using AI to streamline processes.

The evening wrapped up with a keynote dinner and auction, where $12,400 was raised for the Pat Tillman Foundation. Attendees were inspired by speaker David Meltzer, who offered tips on mastering mindset. Live music, dancing, and drinks followed, setting the tone for an incredible summit experience.

 

Day 2: Diving into Maintenance Solutions

The second day kicked off with morning yoga, promoting balance and wellness before attendees dove into workshops on preventative maintenance and vendor relationships. A standout session, “The Lowdown: Centralized Maintenance in Rental Housing,” led by Dom Beveridge, demonstrated the transformative power of centralizing maintenance operations. Attendees learned how this approach can enhance efficiency, vendor coordination, and resident experiences.

Networking continued in a more relaxed setting with food trucks serving local flavors, providing a chance for professionals to exchange stories and ideas. The evening ended on a fun note with a pub crawl, where participants explored Rapid City’s best spots while building connections.
