Sherman Residential Migration to Rainmaker LRO® Proves to Be a Rewarding Move
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 18, 2014 -- The Rainmaker Group, the leading provider of revenue management and profit optimization solutions to the multifamily housing and gaming/hospitality industries, announces the successful migration of Sherman Residential to the Rainmaker LRO revenue management platform from another system. The implementation of LRO emphasizes the third-generation, family-owned company’s commitment to transitioning to user-friendly, advanced-analytics software solutions across its portfolio of 16 Sunbelt communities.
“Since 1922, our philosophy has always been the same at Sherman: take care of our properties and take care of our residents,” says Mark Gluskin, chief financial officer for Sherman Residential. “To that end, we are consistently evaluating our technology investments, and when we compared revenue management products, LRO was easier to use, delivered better reporting, and provided great customer service and support.”
Prior to LRO, Sherman Residential utilized the pricing component included in the firm’s property management software, or priced units manually based on weekly comp reports. The successful transition to Rainmaker LRO across the Sherman portfolio was swift and seamless. In addition to optimizing pricing, LRO also provides Sherman leasing associates with more flexible lease terms and has resulted in significant revenue increases.
“Sherman Residential is a great example of the success regional and even smaller, national apartment owners can achieve compared to their competitors by utilizing optimized pricing with Rainmaker LRO,” says Andrew Rains, president of Rainmaker LRO. “Their seamless transition from one revenue management system to LRO likewise shows the ease at which companies can upgrade to pricing systems with superior results, analytics, and business intelligence.”
According to Gluskin, even the current hot rental market can’t hide the success that LRO is delivering to Sherman Residential’s bottom line. In particular, LRO is pushing great results on year-over-year revenue increases, with a slight decrease in occupancy providing additional pricing power to lift rents.
“It’s been a great market, and you can always look at gross rent growth in a good market and feel successful, but clearly it’s the rate that is making the difference in growing both our rents and revenue,” Gluskin says. “We’ve seen tremendous strides there, it has clearly been an improvement and is evidence that the platform is working for us.”
