Enhanced offerings and integrations for MRI @Work and MRI Living support market demand for flexible real estate software

Solon, Ohio – October 27, 2020 – MRI Software (“MRI”), a global leader in real estate software solutions, announced a series of key enhancements and innovations across its product portfolio at MRI ‘Ascend Anywhere’ 2020, the first virtual edition of its annual North American users conference, held October 19-21. With more than 1,700 registrants, the conference brought together professionals from across the real estate industry to attend virtual keynotes, presentations and panels by MRI and its technology partners – as well as celebrity guest appearances by TV chef and restauranteur Guy Fieri and Grammy and Academy Award winning artist Jennifer Hudson.

The event, which included the participation of nearly 50 companies from MRI’s extensive partner network, featured sessions across a full range of real estate sectors, covering developments in MRI technology, industry trends and the ways in which the company is working with its clients to address the changing needs of the market due to COVID-19.

“Now, more than ever, we believe that people thrive in well-connected communities,” Patrick Ghilani, MRI’s Chief Executive Officer, said at the event’s opening session. Ghilani noted that through MRI’s open and connected ecosystem, the company is able to provide its 45,000 clients worldwide with a “unified single experience,” giving them “the freedom to transform the way communities live, work and play.” He added: “Our mission has never been more visible and more appropriately executed.”

Product enhancements unveiled at MRI Ascend Anywhere included expanded capabilities, improved integrations and other upgrades aimed at helping clients extend their digital services and successfully adapt to new business challenges that have resulted from the pandemic. The enhancements include:

New MRI @Work innovations that are critical for many companies today, allowing both commercial real estate owners and occupiers to increase business agility and flexibility:

• Full integration of MRI Lease Intelligence with MRI Property Management X to enable commercial landlords to gain insights and visibility into complex lease portfolios by abstracting data, using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
• Expanded managed services offering to meet end-to-end requirements of corporate real estate occupiers (enabled by the MacMunnis acquisition in August), providing lease administration services and lease auditing to enable more efficient management of ongoing lease transactions and optimize lease commitments.
• Tenant communications capabilities to facilitate digital collaboration and communication between commercial landlords and occupiers.

Enhanced MRI Living capabilities that streamline processes and help clients improve digital services for their residents, especially in light of an uptick in demand for these during the pandemic:

• Addition of RentPayment from MRI, which expands MRI’s payment capabilities through the acquisition of RentPayment in September, helping landlords meet increasing demand for flexible payment options – notably electronic payments, which have increased by 21% between January and September 2020 according to the MRI Software Market Insights report.
• Broadened ID verification and fraud prevention technology through CheckpointID, strengthening the multifamily lead-to-lease process with enhanced digital verification for lead management and applicant screening.

Additionally, MRI has seen rapid adoption of Application Gateway, the game-changing point of entry into the firm’s open and connected technology platform. Application Gateway provides streamlined user access between MRI solutions, partner products and other third-party applications to create a more unified single experience. It is available now at no additional cost to all clients using MRI’s Software-as-a-Service platform.

Session highlights at Ascend included: a panel on how MRI clients are using technology to adapt to the pandemic, led by MRI Industry Principal Brian Zrimsek; a retail insights panel examining the impact of COVID-19, emerging industry trends and relationships between landlords and tenants, moderated by Propmodo co-founder and editor Franco Faraudo; and a panel entitled The Future of the Office moderated by MRI Senior Director of Product Management Beth Schwartz and featuring a number of MRI clients and partners in the commercial property space discussing trends in the office sector.

On the lighter side, entertainment included an exclusive and enchanting performance by Hudson in support of the Julian D. King Gift Foundation, which provides stability, support and positive experiences for children of all backgrounds to help them grow to be productive, confident and happy adults. Hudson performed an intimate selection including Spotlight, Love You I Do (from Dreamgirls) and Saving All My Love for You (Tribute to Whitney Houston).

The other big entertainment highlight was a virtual cooking lesson with Fieri, who showed Ghilani how to make his famous Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese Burger – featuring both cooking outside from their respective outdoor grills. The cook-off was in aid of Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks providing hunger relief. Fieri not only endeavored to teach Ghilani how to make a delicious burger as the two chatted, but he also braved the elements as the smoke from the nearby wildfires invaded his California ranch, where he was conducting the cooking demonstration.

Donations to the charities from Ascend participants and MRI totaled $25,000, and MRI will match the full amount.

Solon, Ohio – October 13, 2020 – MRI Software, a global leader in real estate software solutions, has acquired CheckpointID, LLC, a Carrolton, Texas-based provider of ID verification and fraud prevention technology solutions to the multifamily industry.

The CheckpointID™ solution validates government-issued domestic and international IDs in real time to protect against rental fraud and increase safety in both guided and self-guided apartment tours.

Our strategic investment in CheckpointID broadens MRI’s digital-first offering, and adds to a growing range of innovative applications that bring greater efficiencies to the day-to-day activities of our users.”

The CheckpointID solution extends MRI’s capabilities for the multifamily market, in particular adding deeper functionality to applications for lead management and resident screening. Driven by increased demand for online services and the shift towards smart and connected communities, the technology also has the potential to support the wider markets and geographies that MRI serves, including public and affordable housing, short-term rentals and student accommodation.

“We’ve enjoyed significant growth since launching in 2017 and have become synonymous with ID verification in the industry,” says Terry Slattery, Chief Executive Officer of CheckpointID. “The investment, innovation and scale that MRI brings will only accelerate our development, and we’re looking forward to the next stages of our exciting journey as part of the MRI family.”

CheckpointID will continue to serve and support its clients without interruption and will continue to offer its ID verification and fraud prevention software solutions to users of all property management systems in the market.

Software Equity Group served as the exclusive financial advisor to CheckpointID.

Company’s first virtual users conference showcases the value of MRI Living and MRI @Work for the APAC region, capping a year of major business growth, innovation and acquisitions

Sydney, 30 July 2020 – MRI Software (“MRI”), a global leader in real estate software solutions, announces the Asia-Pacific launch of key solutions and product innovations on the heels of its record-setting MRI Ascend APAC users conference last week, rounding off a year of strong business momentum. Ascend APAC was the company’s first ever virtual users conference, drawing more than 900 registrants and marking its largest event in the region to date. Attendees watched keynotes, presentations and panels by MRI and its technology partners.

The users conference marked the APAC launch of MRI Living and MRI @Work, which encompass the company’s comprehensive solutions for residential and commercial property management. The event took place one year after MRI acquired Rockend, the market-leading provider of residential property and strata management solutions in the Australia-New Zealand PropTech sector, expanding its overall offering and residential footprint in ANZ. Since the acquisition, the number of properties managed using the company’s cloud-based residential software has risen by 34%, representing increased use of the application by new users and existing clients that have grown their portfolios. MRI further bolstered its suite of residential solutions for the region last month when it acquired Castleton Technology, a leading provider of technology solutions for community and social housing providers in Australia.

David Bowie, MRI’s Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Asia Pacific, commented: “This has been an exciting year for everyone at MRI in APAC. We have seen record growth and innovation as we have extended our range of solutions and market reach. Having a hugely successful virtual Ascend APAC conference underlined the tremendous momentum the business is generating in the region and provided an opportunity for us to share insights and collaborate with clients and partners to shape the future of PropTech throughout the region.”

The APAC product launches and enhancements unveiled by MRI include:

• MRI Lease Intelligence – an AI-powered lease abstraction solution that enables commercial landlords and occupiers to analyse lease documents to gain insights while increasing accuracy, transparency and auditability of lease data;
• MRI ProLease – a suite of workplace management and lease administration, accounting and analysis solutions that enable corporate occupiers to manage property and equipment leases efficiently while meeting new global lease accounting standards;
• MRI Property Connect – a new product in the MRI Living suite of residential solutions that allows tenants to view invoices, payments, inspection schedules and more through a self-service app, while enabling property managers to more effectively manage maintenance requests and communicate with residents;
• MRI Maintenance Plus – an integrated maintenance application that brings all information in the maintenance workflow to one place, so that essential information is never lost and all communication can be conducted through the platform;
• MRI Property Tree – the leading cloud-based residential property management solution in ANZ now offers an enhanced user experience and expanded functionality, including:
• • new Profile Summary pages to speed up the use of critical data,
  • electronic signature capabilities through MRI Secure Sign,
  • and Partner Gateway, which gives Property Tree users access to the MRI Partner ecosystem with just a few clicks;
• Strata Master – enhanced Strata Owner and Committee Member portal to enable 24/7 access to information on finances, meetings, maintenance and more online.

During Ascend APAC, the company also revealed that it is bringing together the MRI commercial and investment solutions in the region with the residential solutions from Rockend and unifying them under the MRI brand. The combined offering is now used to manage more than 90,000 commercial lease units, 50% of all professionally managed residential rental properties and 35% of all strata lots in ANZ.

MRI was also named this month the winner of a Bronze Stevie® Award in the Large Computer Software Company of the Year category in the seventh annual Stevies in Asia Pacific. The Stevie Awards are considered to be the world’s premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in programs such as The International Business Awards® for 18 years.

Names Scott Bartlett as VP of Occupier Solutions and Sean Slack as VP of Partnerships

Solon, Ohio – July 6, 2020 – MRI Software (“MRI”), a global leader in real estate software solutions, has appointed two technology veterans to lead key initiatives at the firm: The new joiners are Scott Bartlett, Vice President of Occupier Solutions; and Sean Slack, Vice President of Partnerships.

Bartlett is responsible for developing and managing the company’s suite of integrated workplace management solutions (IWMS), which help corporate occupiers manage their real estate leases and optimize their workplace. Slack is refining MRI’s global partner strategy and leading the team that manages the firm’s extensive partner ecosystem, which encompasses technology, solutions, product, consulting, and channel relationships.

Both executives have extensive experience in technology. Bartlett has held leadership positions in high-profile SaaS companies, including Microsoft, Oracle, Autodesk, and Accruent. Over the course of his career, he has lived and worked in Brazil, Venezuela, and Switzerland, in addition to the U.S.

Most recently, Slack served as the Vice President of Global Alliances and Channels for Teradata Corporation, a cloud data and analytics company based in Dayton, Ohio. He has also held senior roles at Wire One Communications and NCR Corporation.

“Scott and Sean have joined us during a period of major expansion,” says Patrick Ghilani, CEO of MRI Software. “Our division of Occupier Services has been growing rapidly since our 2019 acquisition of ProLease. At this time, we already have 1,200 occupier clients and we are working hard to address rising customer demand. Workplace management, Scott’s focus, has never been more critical than today, when businesses are evaluating their changing needs and use of space as a result of COVID-19.

“Our partnership program has long been an integral component of our open-and-connected strategy,” Ghilani continues. “Under Sean’s direction, we will extend the program’s reach into new geographies and expand our offerings to provide even greater freedom and flexibility to our clients. The ability to select the solutions that work best for their business and use them in a single experience allows clients to remain agile and rapidly adapt to change in an uncertain economic environment.

“We feel fortunate to have Scott and Sean on the team,” he concludes. “We think our clients will see tremendous benefit as well.”
