The development team has been hitting it hard again this week. Here are the new updates for the week.
Resident Utility
System can now automatically import transmissions from sub meters into our system.
System can now audit meter transmissions and detect when we are experiencing no usage, high usage, low usage, meter wrap issues, and no transmission. System can also automatically estimate transmissions if law permits estimating the reads.
Last Tuesday, we introduced Property Solutions’ new resident utility billing product, ResidentUtility, via webinar. If you were privileged to participate, you know Neal Taylor, a 25-year veteran of the business, gave us a hearty serving of industry knowledge and wowed us with the benefits this exciting new product has to offer.

The majority of participants described their primary job responsibilities as management, leasing, and marketing, with a number of Accounting, Operations, Sales, and IT specialists participating as well.
