500 Students Onboarded in 4 Days: Student Housing at Scale
How an APAC student housing provider managing 2,000+ beds across university partnerships transformed their intake process with JumboTiger.
The Company
A purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) provider operating 2,000+ beds across multiple campuses in partnership with leading universities in the APAC region. They manage accommodation for both domestic and international students with intake cycles aligned to academic semesters. University partners manage the allocation process through agreed quotas and nomination workflows.
The ChallengeWhat They Were Up Against
Processing 500+ new students every semester was their biggest operational challenge. Each intake required collecting applications, documents (passports, visas, university enrollment), contracts, and deposits from hundreds of students simultaneously over a 2-week window. Their previous system relied on email-based applications, paper contracts, and manual key distribution. SALTO access cards were provisioned manually, leading to security gaps when students moved out but cards weren't deactivated. University partners had no self-service access and relied on email threads to check availability and nominate students. The operations team needed 3 weeks to complete each intake cycle.
How JumboTiger Helped
JumboTiger deployed with B2B Partner Management, Integrations Hub (with SALTO access control), Inventory & Occupancy, Booking & Onboarding, and Payments modules in 30 days. University partners received self-service portals to view quota availability, nominate students, and track intake progress. The SALTO integration automates access card provisioning on move-in and revocation on move-out. Bulk onboarding workflows process hundreds of applications simultaneously with automated contract generation, e-signatures, and deposit collection.
