Real estate solutions provider MRI Software announced a series of key enhancements and innovations across its product portfolio at its Ascend Anywhere 2020, the first virtual edition of its annual North American users conference, held October 19 through 21.
Product enhancements unveiled included expanded capabilities, improved integrations and other upgrades aimed at helping clients extend their digital services and successfully adapt to new business challenges that have resulted from the pandemic. The enhancements include MRI@Work innovations that allow both commercial real estate owners and occupiers to increase business agility and flexibility: full integration of MRI Lease Intelligence with MRI Property Management X to enable commercial landlords to gain insights and visibility into complex lease portfolios by abstracting data, using machine learning and artificial intelligence. In addition, the company expanded its managed services offering to meet end-to-end requirements of corporate real estate, providing lease administration services and lease auditing to enable more efficient management of ongoing lease transactions and optimize lease commitments. It also extended tenant communications capabilities to facilitate digital collaboration and communication between commercial landlords and occupiers.
Enhanced MRI Living capabilities can streamline processes and help clients improve digital services for their residents, especially in light of an uptick in demand for these during the pandemic, the company said. These include the addition of RentPayment from MRI, which expands MRI’s payment capabilities, helping landlords meet increasing demand for flexible payment options – notably electronic payments. It also broadened ID verification and fraud prevention technology through CheckpointID, strengthening the multifamily lead-to-lease process with enhanced digital verification for lead management and applicant screening.
The event, which included the participation of nearly 50 companies from MRI’s partner network, featured sessions across a full range of real estate sectors, covering developments in MRI technology, industry trends and the ways in which the company is working with its clients to address the changing needs of the market due to COVID-19.
