Provider of student accommodation – Unite Students – has chosen Lavanda as its preferred property management system (PMS).
Unite Students will use Lavanda’s PMS to optimise a range of financial, administrative and logistical workstreams throughout 151 properties located in 23 leading university towns and cities.
The platform’s API-first approach will allow Unite Students to deliver a customisable and efficient front-end experience via the provider’s own app, enabling students to easily access information, communicate with management and participate in community activities.
“Bringing in Lavanda is going to transform how we serve our residents. Not only will it make living with us easier and more enjoyable for our residents, but it will also significantly simplify our day-to-day operations. Lavanda’s leading technology will help us deliver a best-in-class student experience and reflects our dedication to raising the bar for student accommodation.”
Tom Ellis, Group Strategy & Technology Director, Unite Students
Unite Students will gain from Lavanda’s robust integrations with top-tier software and data platforms, improving operations for both students and management teams.
These features – such as secure payments, ID verifications, and move-in checklists – markedly simplify processes at both the start and end of tenancies, including handling deposits, as well as cleaning and maintenance tasks.
“Partnering with Unite Students is one of Lavanda’s most significant milestones to date.
“Our market-leading PMS is designed to adapt to the unique demands of student housing, and we are confident it will drive significant value for Unite Students, its staff, and student residents.
“This collaboration highlights our dedication to innovation and excellence in the student accommodation sector. Our platform’s flexibility, advanced feature set, and seamless integration capabilities will empower Unite Students to operate more efficiently and effectively.”
Fred Lerche-Lerchenborg, CEO, Lavanda
Additionally, the provider will leverage Lavanda’s advanced analytics and reporting capabilities, offering instant access to business intelligence. This includes detailed analyses of financials, occupancy rates, and other crucial metrics.
