MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.             

DRIVING FACTORS

"Adoption of Cloud Computing and SaaS Models to Boost the Market"

A factor in the Property Management Software market growth is the Adoption of Cloud Computing and SaaS Models. The growth of the PMS market has been sparked mainly by the enhanced uptake of cloud computing and SaaS. Solutions in the cloud are continuously expandable, and the manager of the property has access to data from any location with access to the Internet. Organizations and companies are also benefited by Saas models because it eliminates a very high initial cost that often makes property management software unaffordable for start up or SMEs.

"Increasing Demand for Automation and Efficiency to Expand the Market"

The main reason that has been fueling the property management software (PMS) market is the rising demand for automation. This may be on account of; one is never too busy to look for efficiency in management, time-saving measures and the general minimization of use of labor. Many traditional property management activities like collections, scheduling, record keeping, lease follow up, communication with tenants may be very demanding and susceptible to mistakes. To overcome these problems, the implementation of the automation system in PMS solutions includes automatic reminders of rent payment by the residents, automatic preparation of the financial statements, and automatic issuance of schedules for maintenance tasks.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Investment Costs to Potentially Impede Market Growth"

Initial setup costs are a major source of demand for PMS, particularly for small and mid-size property management organizations or independent property owners and real estate investors who cannot afford expensive PMS solutions. Most on-premise property management solutions involve a significant cost of acquisition of the necessary hardware as well as software licenses and installation and configuration. Furthermore, some businesses may require the services of an expert in IT or IT personnel to take care of the system.

OPPORTUNITY

"Growing Real Estate Market To Create Opportunity for the Product in the Market"

The globalization of real estate and property investment, and the subsequent raising of commercial, residential and integrated facilities, are key factors that promote property management. This is especially the case for businesses with many properties, as too many properties mean that certain tasks, such as lease management, tenant tracking or financial reporting have to be done for multiple properties simultaneously. This growing market puts huge pressure on companies in need of PMS solutions.

CHALLENGE

"Data Security and Privacy Concerns Could Be a Potential Challenge for Consumers"

One of the most significant concerns facing property management companies is the security of the tenant and property information which includes; their details, their financial records and rental agreements. The use of the cloud-based software poses problems related to security of information especially considering the growing cases of hacking. It is also unlikely for some companies to opt for outsourced solutions since they often believe that in this case they are to have more control over the security of their data and their compliance with the local legislation on protection of personal information.
