Move-in / move-out

Every move-in, handled the same way, whether it's one student or three hundred.

Contracts, e-signatures, deposits, access and welcome communication all run through one workflow. No more Word-documents-turned-PDFs-turned-Excel-rows, and no single employee stuck drafting contracts by hand.

Tenant support agent

"What's the Wi-Fi password?" doesn't need to reach a human.

In a building with hundreds of students, the same handful of questions repeat constantly: the Wi-Fi password, bin collection day, how to book the laundry room, who to call for a lockout. Powerhouse's tenant support agent answers these instantly, in the tenant app, at any hour.

Automatic payments

Hundreds of students, one automated payment operation.

Payments are matched to the right student automatically. If someone doesn't pay, a reminder goes out on its own. Outgoing payments to owners follow the same logic, fees deducted, remainder paid out, pooling distributions included.

Quares · Belgium

A residence built on processes from 1967, brought fully up to date.

Quares runs student and residential portfolios where every contract used to be drafted manually. With Powerhouse, the tenant journey from booking to payments runs digitally, and the hospitality manager who was buried in paperwork now spends her days with students instead.
