Urang Property Management are a building management company that has existed since the 1990s with a portfolio of around 10,000 units in the UK. Urang decided to partner with MRI Software to develop their PropTech strategy and bring it in line with their ambition of doubling their portfolio size.
Previously the team had been using a CRM software that was weak in functionality when it came to accounting and producing reports. With the team’s ambition to grow in mind, there was an appetite to ensure that affordable industry-leading tools were being used by members of staff, which led to the consideration of MRI Sales and Lettings.
The software has improved the accounting aspect and overall functionality of the team, and the solution will grow with the team moving forward.

Ben was looking for a solution that would be easy to use and would improve efficiency in allocating rental payments and running their day to day accounts routines.
Before choosing to partner with MRI, Urang were looking at increasing their staff headcount. However, the functionality of MRI Sales & Lettings presents an opportunity to make a significant financial saving, allowing them to increase their portfolio without having to increase their salary costs at the same rate.
Urang were also attracted by the fact that the solution is flexible enough to allow for efficiencies in the way that the team, who are based outside of the UK, can easily access and manage all the UK properties.
The availability of integrations provided by MRI and potential time efficiencies gained through using MRI Sales and Lettings was another key driver.

Looking to the future, should the implementation of MRI Sales and Lettings be a success within their department, then other teams within Urang Property Management could follow suit and choose to partner with additional MRI solutions to benefit from a connected approach to their PropTech strategy.
