Challenge 1

Excel-based data tracking

Improper Tracking of Leasing Data

SharedEasy had consolidated their business data on Excel sheets. While this was sufficient for them when their portfolio was small, it was a pain as they started scaling. They needed to automate simple processes which was not possible.

MonkSpaces.Ai Solution

Core Module for centralized contract management

With our Core Module, SharedEasy was able to upload all types of contracts onto a centralised system where property managers could track and maintain tenancies. This allowed them to streamline contract generation efficiently, optimise bookings through a booking calendar and easily track vacancies, leading to better marketing of their vacant units.

Result

Reduction in time taken to administer a lease by automating booking process

75%

Challenge 2

No centralized solution

SharedEasy also used other tools for different functions like HubSpot for customer relationship management and ZohoBooks for accounting. Operationally, they were all over the place and needed a unified solution.

MonkSpaces.Ai Solution

Seamless integrations with ZohoBooks and HubSpot

We seamlessly integrated with ZohoBooks and Hubspot to push and pull data as necessary

Challenge 3

Manual invoice generation for US compliance

Rental invoicing and collections

Due to American pro-ration laws, SharedEasy couldn't find a software that could help with long-term invoice pricing. They needed the first invoice to be billed for a whole month, and the second invoice prorated to a 30 day system. Hence, the initial invoice was manually raised.

MonkSpaces.Ai Solution

US law-compliant automated invoicing

We provided an invoicing solution which was both automated and compliant with US law on rental invoicing. This was acceptable to SharedEasy's accounting team, and help streamline the business process

Result

Time reduction in monthly invoicing process due to automation

80%

Challenge 4

Lack of available performance metrics

As the system wasn't centralised, SharedEasy could not obtain accurate metrics to review their performance. It was difficult to track revenue and operations linked to a particular unit or business function.

MonkSpaces.Ai Solution

Unified analytics and performance metrics

SharedEasy was able to grasp the following metrics upon having a centralised system: 1. Turnaround time, due to the system integration with Hubspot 2. Occupancy metrics like average length of stay, occupancy rate, booking window, etc. 3. Sales metrics like ad revenue and sales channel performance metrics

Result

Platform to track all key business metrics
