What property managers on Rent Manager tell us before a project starts. *A detailed view of modern urban buildings with contrasting brick facades and windows* Photo: [Dark Astraal on Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/modern-urban-architecture-with-brick-facades-40664815/) - Our rent roll gets rebuilt in Excel every month. - Vendor bills arrive as PDFs and someone types each one in. - Owners want their own format and we redo the statement for each. - Work orders from the tenant portal get copied into another tracker. - Nobody trusts the occupancy number until it has been checked twice. ## What we build Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done. ### API link to your other systems Units, leases, residents and charges read from Rent Manager's Web API into the tool that needs them, on a schedule you choose. [API integrations and data sync](https://pushbuild.com/services/api-integrations.html) ### Owner statement packs The reports owners already get, assembled the same way every month from Rent Manager data, ready for a quick review. [Dashboards and reporting](https://pushbuild.com/services/dashboards.html) [Python scripts and utilities](https://pushbuild.com/services/python-scripts-utilities.html) ### Bill intake from email Vendor bills read from the inbox, with the vendor, property and amount captured and held for approval before entry.

Yours gets its own written scope. Example project ### Rent roll to dashboard Example: a manager of several apartment communities has the Web API feed a dashboard each night, so the Monday meeting starts from current numbers. Rent Manager Web API, Python, Power BI Example project ### Bills held for approval Example: a bookkeeper forwards vendor bills to one address. Each is read, matched to a property and listed for approval before it is entered. Outlook, PDF extraction, Google Sheets Example project ### Vacancy list for leasing Example: a leasing lead gets a Friday email listing every vacant or soon-vacant unit with days on market.
