We have really appreciated the recent integrations and steps to make the system easier to use. We utilize the task flow internally to track items needed as well as with our owners and tenants. It allows us to easily track the number of requests as well as the work history.
Property Matrix has developed property management software that incorporates all the power of a highly technical accounting software with the conveniences of state-of-the-art check scanning capabilities. For years, I've struggled with the physical demands of check processing - receipt, delivery, recording and processing. Now I'm able to simplify all of these steps into just one encrypted scan. I'm also able to review every account from one convenient location - tenants, vendors, owners, accounts and check scanning are all accessible from the main screen. I'm able to review outstanding invoices, rent payments, management fees and so much more. It's very well suited for my business.
I especially like the all-inclusive dashboard for accounting. Multiple tabs keep everything organized and accessible.
Customized reports are extremely important. This software allows me to set my own parameters instead of forcing me to used canned reporting data.
Real-time information allows me to always know what task is required next. It also helps me stay focused and never worry that I've forgotten something.
The cloud-based software provides access from any location and device. Now I can spend less time behind my desk and more time in the field where I'm needed.
I've found all aspects of this product to be exceptional for functionality, customization and flexibility. The only thing I've noticed is a limited range of easy-to-read background settings. There are 10 different themes, but all are blue and are a little difficult to read.
I have used three property management softwares and know of others who have used additional softwares for managing properties. Buildium seems to be the best of all of them
Overall, the system is good and getting better; however, different roll outs have caused the system to regress. Their latest bank automation rollout was a disaster and continues to be an issue. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to sync our bank and Buildium (download transactions).
I have been able to get through to support immediately and they have been awesome in quickly resolving issues. More importantly, their communication when there is an issue which might take some time to resolve surfaces. Getting updates and resolution are critical.
We only went with Buidlium because we had the option to absorb the fees for rent payments. I wanted to provide $0 fees for Tenants to pay online. I'm glad we went with Buildium in the end but that was the only reason we moved forward with them was because we could customize that option to match our business model.
The Property Matrix property management software has had a positive impact for on-time tenant payments. Before implementing this program, I often had to visit each tenant to collect rent payments. With digital check scanning and EBT payments available, my tenants rarely miss a payment.
Maintaining my accounting records through this software has improved my own efficiency and allows me to spend more time visiting tenants. I used to spend several hours a day doing data entry. I've now cut that time in half and can even record pertinent information from the road.
I'm a better manager with this software and am gaining more respect from my tenants, vendors and owners. With important data at my fingertips, I'm equipped with critical information precisely when I need it. Now when an owner asks for details about a building, I can confidently relay the information without delay.
