CHALLENGE

Generic PMS Cannot Handle Student Housing Complexity

Academic Cycles

Fixed annual leases starting in September do not work for mid-year intakes, summer lets, and erasmus students.

Bulk Intakes

Processing hundreds of applications, contracts, and deposits in a 2-week window overwhelms manual systems.

Guarantor Tracking

Parent and guarantor information, documentation, and communication are managed in spreadsheets.

Complex Billing

Different rates for en-suite, shared, and studio rooms with optional meal plans and service packages.

Room Allocation

Matching students to rooms based on preferences, gender, nationality, and study program is manual.

Communication Overload

Parents, students, and universities all need different information at different times.

Academic Cycle Management

Configure your system around academic terms, intake windows, and summer let periods.

  • Academic year calendar with term-based contracts

  • Mid-year intake and erasmus student support

  • Summer let management with different pricing and terms
