MRI Software launches new residential and commercial solutions for APAC
Summary
Ascend APAC was the company’s first ever virtual users conference, drawing more than 900 registrants and marking its largest event in the region to date. The event took place one year after MRI acquired Rockend, the market-leading provider of residential property and strata management solutions in the Australia-New Zealand PropTech sector, expanding its overall offering and residential footprint in ANZ. Since the acquisition, the number of properties managed using the company’s cloud-based residential software has risen by 34 per cent, representing increased use of the application by new users and existing clients that have grown their portfolios. David Bowie, MRI’s Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Asia Pacific, says: “This has been an exciting year for everyone at MRI in APAC. Having a hugely successful virtual Ascend APAC conference underlined the tremendous momentum the business is generating in the region and provided an opportunity for us to share insights and collaborate with clients and partners to shape the future of PropTech throughout the region.” The APAC product launches and enhancements unveiled by MRI include: MRI Lease Intelligence – an AI-powered lease abstraction solution that enables commercial landlords and occupiers to analyse lease documents to gain insights while increasing accuracy, transparency and auditability of lease data; MRI ProLease – a suite of workplace management and lease administration, accounting and analysis solutions that enable corporate occupiers to manage property and equipment leases efficiently while meeting new global lease accounting standards; MRI Property Connect – a new product in the MRI Living suite of residential solutions that allows tenants to view invoices, payments, inspection schedules and more through a self-service app, while enabling property managers to more effectively manage maintenance requests and communicate with residents; MRI Maintenance Plus – an integrated maintenance application that brings all information in the maintenance workflow to one place, so that essential information is never lost and all communication can be conducted through the platform; MRI Property Tree – a cloud-based residential property management solution in ANZ now offers an enhanced user experience and expanded functionality, including: new Profile Summary pages to speed up the use of critical data, electronic signature capabilities through MRI Secure Sign, and Partner Gateway, which gives Property Tree users access to the MRI Partner ecosystem with just a few clicks; Strata Master – enhanced Strata Owner and Committee Member portal to enable 24/7 access to information on finances, meetings, maintenance and more online.
