AP and AR Tools To Simplify Your Processes

Whether it’s automated responses to applications or scheduled text reminders about ongoing tasks, chances are at some point you have streamlined certain aspects of your daily routine. As we all look for ways to further simplify our workflows, consider incorporating automation tools into your accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) processes. Here are four ways Rent Manager can make handling AP and AR easier for you.

AP and AR Tools for You

Pre-Schedule Payment Notices

Accounts Receivable Automation* makes securing payments from tenants a completely automatic experience. Using the renter’s preferred communication method, you can send rent reminders, late notices, or updates about an open or upcoming charge via email, text, phone broadcast, and Virtual Post Office (VPO)*. You can even personalize the tone of the alert based on the degree of the account’s delinquency. Further, if your team has questions, you can review the tenant’s History/Notes and see a saved copy of the notice.

Pay Bills Automatically

Skip the stress of waiting for monthly bills, only to forget to pay them on time after they arrive. Set bills that come on a regular cycle as Recurring Bills* in Rent Manager. Post internet services, trash, or sewer bills as a one-time cost or on a recurring basis. Scheduling bills saves your team time while ensuring you never miss monthly payments.

Streamline Tasks

Specify a sequence of tasks in the review, approval, and fulfillment of Purchase Orders with a Purchase Order workflow*. By outlining all the steps and creating a workflow in Rent Manager, you can eliminate any questions about what needs to be handled, enabling you to complete purchase orders faster. Clearly show the stages and responsibilities for each step of the process by assigning team members specific functions within the workflow.

Utilize Advanced Customizations

In addition to the wealth of accounting features Rent Manager offers, we also partner with several integrated providers that deliver additional AP and AR benefits. By tying into our software, each integration can deliver additional support for your operation.

Using Rent Manager’s automation tools, your team can save time while creating tailored workflows and templates that keep accounts accurate and up-to-date.
