Evolving alongside our customers

If there’s anything the last two years have taught us, it’s that we can never predict exactly what’s coming next. The needs of Property Managers, tenants, and owners are constantly evolving and changing rapidly. It’s our role as the number one property management software in Australia and New Zealand to anticipate and respond to these needs, sometimes even before customers are aware of what’s needed themselves.

The great thing about PropertyMe’s structure is that we’re designed to move and grow with the customer. Always anticipating and responding to their needs. This is exactly what has led us to release hundreds of feature updates since our inception.

Local legislation changes, feature requests, work from home restrictions, social distancing — are all new developments we’ve responded to. The result? Our customers are able to not just survive in an ever-changing world but thrive. With many of our agencies finding they’re now working with greater efficiency than ever before.

A team effort

As one of the fastest-growing proptech companies in Australia, customer-centricity is embedded in our DNA.

A key step in maintaining this customer focus is unifying and aligning our internal teams around the customer. Sarah will take this a step further, keeping open lines of communication between all of our teams. As a result, all of our product launches will be deeply rooted in the customers’ needs.

Sarah notes, “I am inspired every day by our dedicated service teams, our market presence, our product roadmap, and our continual focus on ensuring these internal values align to our customers’ success. We all play a vital part in the customer journey and I am looking forward to working with our customers and our team more closely.”

We’re so excited for what’s to come and can’t wait to bring our customers along the journey of exploring, innovating, and growing in the exciting proptech space. Stay tuned!
