Introduction

Tenant satisfaction doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

It’s the direct result of how smoothly a building runs, how well communication is maintained and how responsive you are to tenant needs and preferences.

The more efficient and supportive operations are, the more satisfied tenants become, the more they renew their leases.

In fact, even a one-point rise in tenant satisfaction (1-5 scale) lifts willingness to renew by 8.36% and cuts move-out probability by 15.8%¹. 

But while the equation may seem simple enough, running a building more efficiently — and more in tune with rising tenant expectations — can be tricky. Without the right operational platform in place, it can be nearly impossible.

Here’s how our Prism platform helps property teams modernize operations and create positive experiences across five key drivers of tenant satisfaction.

1. Service tenants can count on

It’s easy enough to say that fast response times, real-time updates and consistent follow-through build trust and satisfaction.

It’s another thing to deliver them, especially if you’re working manually with multiple data sources across disconnected systems and workflows. In which case just getting the information you need is a major challenge — let alone getting it in time to respond quickly and effectively.

From work orders and service issues to tenant communications and vendor activities, there’s a lot to track and do. Getting a better handle on it all is the key to keeping tenants happy.

That’s the power of Prism

Prism unifies systems, workflows and people across properties and portfolios, giving you a single source of truth and real-time access to accurate property data.

This makes it possible to:

• Route requests to the right team
• Keep tenants in the loop
• Cut response time in half
• Proactively prevent maintenance issues

Rather than fielding complaints, you’ll be able to stay a step ahead of issues that typically cause frustration and turnover. What’s more, you’ll extend equipment life and cut OpEx by as much as 20%. 

2. Easy tenant communications

Not all tenants prefer the same communication channels. Or require the same attention. Or need the same information. 

Treating them like they do only compounds frustrations they may already be feeling. Add blanket email blasts, delayed responses and lack of real-time updates to the mix, and you’ve got a real problem on your hands.

Taking a more modern approach to communication is key to ensuring tenants feel heard, supported and respected.

That’s the power of Prism

Prism delivers a modern experience across all the devices tenants prefer. 

A new mobile app and a newly redesigned portal make it easy to submit and track work orders, register visitors, book amenities and reach the property team right from their phone or desktop.

For property managers, the platform unlocks key efficiencies that save time, eliminate hassle and confusion, and create a better experience for every tenant:

• Automatically track requests 
• Connect communications directly to work orders
• Coordinate responses across email, text and portals
• Receive real-time updates
• Instantly report emergencies

It’s about staying informed, responding faster and communicating more clearly. And it’ll help keep tenants happy, up-to-date and engaged.

3. Revenue-generating amenities

Every tenant expects easy access to spaces and services that support their workday. But if reserving those amenities is a manual process, they may run into scheduling conflicts and administrative busywork, potentially creating a missed revenue opportunity for you.

Conference rooms, event spaces, parking spots — every amenity you offer is a monetizable asset. And the easier you make it for tenants to discover and book them, the more money you can make.

In fact, property teams have seen as much as a 10% increase in revenue from amenity reservations when the process is automated and centralized.

That’s the power of Prism

Prism captures additional revenue from existing spaces and services by enabling tenants to reserve them through self-service booking.

Property teams can attach pricing to each amenity and automate billing to ensure that every drop of revenue is captured.

• Charge per reservation, per use or incorporate amenity access into tenant agreements
• Track reservations and billing together
• Capitalize on resources you’ve already invested in

Prism makes it easy for tenants to use your amenities, and turns those amenities into a steady revenue stream.

4. Seamless, secure access

Putting visitor management in tenants’ hands with intuitive self-service tools is a win-win.

For tenants, it’s a faster, more convenient way to book amenities — one that empowers them to engage more directly with the property itself.

For property teams, it reduces administrative work, improves visibility into who’s in the building and makes for a better first impression of the property itself.

That’s the power of Prism

Prism provides the perfect balance of safety and simplicity, making it easy for both tenants and security personnel to manage visitors. 

• Accelerate and simplify check-in
• Register visitors from your mobile device
• Track visitors, manage access and maintain clear visibility into who’s in your building at all times

End results?

Streamlined arrivals, reduced workloads for the front desk and a seamless experience for tenants and their guests.

5. Advanced tenant engagement

Making your property a place tenants actually want to engage with means making it more useful, more accessible and more interactive on a day-to-day basis.

New technologies are making it possible.

Today, property managers can bring services, communications and workplace programs together in a single mobile experience that creates positive tenant touchpoints around amenities, events, services, community and everyday convenience.

That’s the power of Prism

Our operational platform gives your tenants a “digital front door” to the property, turning your building into an everyday interactive experience. 

This creates a number of key engagement levers:

• Create events, programs and promotions that give tenants reasons to interact with the property
• Unlock key tenant insights that enable you to personalize communications and experiences
• Use surveys and behavioral data to identify and address changing tenant needs

Over time, these levers help create non-transactional relationships with tenants. And keep them engaged with — and connected to — the property itself.

Final takeaways

The first step toward maximizing long-term occupancy and NOI is making the connection between efficient operations and tenant satisfaction.

The next one?

Incorporating an operational platform that gives you the insight you need to support and engage your tenants — and turn your property into a true destination.
