Automate housing with ResCenter and GET to provide a better experience for students, residents, and staff
Students expect their campus to provide the most advanced technology, and that includes their entire residential experience. They want to be able to use their phone to complete tasks such as applying for housing, making payments, and communicating with staff. Therefore, colleges and universities have a unique challenge in satisfying their students’ demand for connectivity and convenience while also keeping them safe. They need a comprehensive, flexible solution that improves the quality of their housing program without adding overhead.

Housing staff benefits from ResCenter and GET too. The powerful student housing management system assigns thousands of residents in a flash, based on an unlimited number of preferences, applications, and application types, leaving lengthy paper trails things of the past.
The check-in and check-out processes are fully automated and can be accomplished using phones or tablets. The solution displays resident ID, name, room assignment, occupancy dates, and other user-definable information, and housing staff can complete the process with the tap of a button.
Use ResCenter and GET to improve service for your residents and accuracy and efficiency for your staff. ResCenter Maintenance is an add-on module for ResCenter that enables real-time management of your campus maintenance requests and room inspections.
