The Impact of AI on Property Management
Artificial intelligence has revolutionized the way property management tasks are executed, particularly in processing invoices. Instead of manually inputting every invoice into the system, AI can now automatically identify the correct owner and tenant for each payment based on a simple stack of invoices. This advancement has allowed property managers to dramatically reduce the amount of time spent on administrative tasks. As a result, the efficiency of managing properties has improved significantly, enabling companies to handle more units with fewer staff.
