RPA in Real Estate

The real estate industry is heavily occupied with multiple data processing tasks, such as management of documents, inventory, and key processes like procurement, accounting, etc. The voluminous document and data-based business processes in real estate reduce the efficiency of employees and industry players. Decision-making becomes an arduous task as the available information becomes limited, thus business management processes slow down. 

In the era of digital transformation, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has a remarkable role to play in the evolution of the real estate industry. The technology will allow real estate companies to automate laborious, manual tasks letting real estate professionals concentrate their energy on assignments that add value to the business.

Deloitte reveals that RPA is a proven business technology helping companies with scarce technical resources to bridge the gap between IT systems in the digital era. RPA can be incorporated across IT systems via the front-end unlike traditional automation enabling integration with virtually any software used by an employee.  

The popular Robotic Process Automation (RPA) use cases below mentioned display how the technology brings various advantages to the real estate industry.

Portfolio management can be described as the process or technique of directing real estate assets to preserve and increase the value of the property. Businesses in the real estate industry can realize this by managing diverse assets or selling and buying individual portfolio components.

By deploying Robotic Process Automation (RPA), the realtors can list the rented or sold-out properties from their system effortlessly. On the other hand, the properties of real estate companies will be more visible with the updated data on multiple online channels.

Moreover, RPA bots get the right data to the right place making it easy to validate the accuracy of data for properties, leases, units, and account balances. Asa result, players in the real estate industry can boost their performance in business process management.

Late payments are a troublesome and common issue regarding the business process management for the companies in the real estate and housing services sector.

The Real Estate industry inherently involves a lot of paperwork due to legal guidelines and regulations. A huge amount of documentation including property deeds, lease agreements, brokerage contracts, vendor payables and credit applications, and property tax assessments have to be filed and kept. Accordingly, it keeps the staff in the real-estate business busy filling out and filing necessary documents, and physically searching for information when a need arises.

Creating intelligent bots through Robotic Process Automation can be an efficient solution for fulfilling manual, repetitive, often rules-based processes and tasks. Thanks to RPA, players in the real estate industry can decrease costs drastically while gaining speed and accuracy in business process management.

Net Asset Value (NAV) calculations constitute a basic criterion for measuring the future returns of a real estate investment fund. The realtors should execute the related tasks and processes to secure the future of their businesses.

Here comes RPA into the scene enabling automation of the process and enhancing data accuracy, thus improving NAV calculations. Consequently, there is a drastic time and cost-saving besides available data is achieved to make more informed decisions.

One of the major hardships that real estate businesses are going through is improving the efficiency of back-office processes.

The bots simplify all routine accounting processes including sending invoices, managing expenses, and paying bills. In the end, the back-office staff relieves from manual work while the business owners get a consistent cash flow without deficiencies.
