Experts weigh in on how to match the tools to the goals of client service
In real time, the service-oriented aspect of property technology that prioritizes tenant and user satisfaction extends to implementation. For Hiffman National, this role extends to duties such as equipment tracking and monitoring, with the recognition that the technology allows tenants to optimize operations.
