Wreno

Wreno CEO Charlotte Schell at NAA #Apartmentalize: “Integration is the norm everywhere else. Why not in real estate? Our industry needs that same level of user experience. It's about giving customers the power to choose the best tools without becoming integration experts. We should focus on providing value through specialization and connectivity, not maintaining silos." 👏

We're here in Philly at #NAA #Apartmentalize, and I’m hearing a lot about the roadblocks multifamily operators face with maintenance operations. What are the biggest challenges? It depends on a company’s approach to maintenance. Here are two we see frequently: #1: “To reduce costs, I want most of my maintenance team to be in-house.” #2: “I’ve given up on in-house technicians. I’m going all in on third-party vendors.” Both come with challenges. If you go in-house, you need to: 1️⃣ Optimize technicians’ time — But this gets messy as you scale up/across properties. 2️⃣ Retain technicians — But burnout and labor shortages are driving high technician churn. 3️⃣ Fill technician gaps quickly with third-party vendors — But you won’t get competitive bids on last-minute needs. If you go third-party, you need to: 1️⃣ Know vendors’ skills + compliance — But without the right tech, this requires manual work. 2️⃣ Automate processes across properties — But vendors are inherently local and variable. 3️⃣ Get competitive bids — But if you don’t reach enough vendors, you won’t get good bids. The takeaway: No matter their in-house vs. third-party mix, property managers are burned by low-tech, decentralized management of vendors. #Multifamily operators can solve these challenges with centralized vendor management. Enter @Wreno. Wreno lets you: ✅ Know your tradespeople. ✅ Get competitive bids quickly and efficiently. ✅ Automate and standardize processes across all your projects and properties. ✅ Manage vendors in one place. ✅ Retain technicians by using third-party vendors strategically.

Exciting news — We’ve teamed up with HappyCo! 🚀 I’m thrilled to announce that Wreno — our all-in-one platform for property managers to find, vet, and onboard third-party vendors — is partnering with HappyCo, a leader in #multifamily maintenance centralization. What does this mean for leaders in property management? Teams can: 🛠️ Manage third-party vendors with Wreno. 🛠️ Manage in-house technicians with HappyCo. 👆Do both of those (and more) from one platform. Really. This partnership is big because the challenges it tackles are big. I’ve talked with hundreds of multifamily leaders, who are facing pressure from all sides — rising interest rates, operational inefficiencies, shrinking revenue margins. Better vendor management is a key piece of the centralization solution, but historically, finding and managing vendors, like electricians and inspectors, has been time-consuming and manual (read: cold calls and spreadsheets). These are the challenges my co-founder Mark A. Barton and I set out to solve with Wreno. Wreno empowers property managers to find and manage vendors, save time, and eliminate risk. With one login, teams can: ✅ Get the vendor insights they need for the jobs they need. ✅ Find and onboard risk-free vendors with automated workflows. ✅ Save on costs with AI-powered quotes. So excited about our next chapter with HappyCo! And looking forward to talking vendor management with industry leaders at NAA’s #Apartmentalize conference next week… 👀 Full announcement: https://lnkd.in/g3kC84KY — or DM me to learn more! #RealEstate #PropertyManagement #PropTech
