Before Updater

  • Onboarding new residents wasn’t especially smooth, with a manual move-in process and the inability to seamlessly answer residents’ questions.
  • There was no way to easily educate residents about preferred vendor partners and help residents make all of the complex decisions related to the move-in process (e.g., schools in the area, internet providers, etc.). Pillar had to keep brochures in their leasing offices — a waste of paper and an inefficient method of connecting with residents.

How Did Updater Help?

  • With Updater, Pillar can now easily showcase preferred vendor partners in one convenient dashboard — without having to keep brochures lying around the leasing offices.
  • Proud to be a paperless company, Pillar can maintain their green status by incorporating Updater’s online experience. Updater has helped speed up the move-in process electronically, saving time and paper.
  • Updater's Success team ensured a seamless, simple, and pleasant onboarding and training process for the Pillar team. The entire Pillar portfolio of properties was up and running in under a month.
  • Staff can depend on Updater to help answer the questions new residents may have. “Welcome Home” emails that describe Updater’s service and detail what to expect go directly to a resident as soon as they become an approved applicant.
