A smart property management platform has begun the next phase of its global expansion with operations launched in North America.听听
Residential and commercial landlords in the US will now have access to fast-growing听Plentific鈥檚听marketplace SaaS platform, allowing them to start and manage their own fully flexible contractor supply chain.听听
The move follows听Plentific鈥檚听successful entry into the German market in 2020, accelerating the business鈥� growth trajectory.听
鈥淥ver the last year, a shift has taken place within the real estate industry across the world, thanks to the global pandemic. Not only did lockdowns cause disruption for supply chains and result in a backlog in repairs and maintenance works, but a lack of real time, accessible data also created significant challenges in a remote working environment,鈥� said Cem Savas, CEO and co-founder of听Plentific.听听
鈥淚n a short period of time, landlords and property managers have quickly accelerated their digital transformation projects, increasing听Plentific鈥檚听growth trajectory. As landlords in North America face similar challenges to those in Europe, it was the obvious next step for us as we continue to rapidly scale.鈥�听
Since the end of 2018,听Plentific听has seen a 17-fold growth and today has more than 350,000 properties under management across 76 cities and sees 25,000 work orders created go through the platform each month.听听
The听PropTech鈥檚听SaaS-based platform empowers landlords and property managers to transform their repairs and maintenance operations.听听
Its听dynamic procurement technology allows landlords to manage in-house operatives and send jobs to a marketplace of more than 18,000 fully vetted contractors for faster resolution.听听
It听allows clients to manage every repair and maintenance work order, from start to finish through its cloud-based and mobile-enabled software and provides access to data analytics in real time.听
Plentific鈥檚听North American presence will be led by Andrew Bledsoe, Head of US operations, who has a long track record in the US property market, having previously co-founded the micro-housing and听co-living听platform, Ollie.听听
In addition to Bledsoe,听Plentific听has appointed an additional three new hires in North America across the sales and marketing teams, with further appointments to be made.听
鈥淧lentific鈥檚听technology solves a number of challenges faced by landlords – from procurement to work order management, and data analytics to payments – and by bringing everything into one platform it creates significant operational efficiencies for clients,鈥� said Bledsoe.听听
鈥淚 am looking forward to supporting听Plentific鈥檚听growth across the US, and globally, and seeing the immense impact the platform has on clients.鈥�听
