When Yardi and Witlingo Work Better Together

Organizations already using Yardi do not necessarily need to choose between Yardi and Witlingo.

Yardi can continue to manage property operations, leasing, financials, compliance, and other core workflows. Witlingo can serve as the communication layer used by property managers, service coordinators, recertification staff, and other frontline teams.

This can be particularly useful when staff needs to communicate about:

• Recertifications
• Missing documents
• Inspections
• Rent reminders
• Maintenance interruptions
• Emergency notices
• Meetings and events
• Transportation
• Community programs

The two platforms can solve different parts of the problem.

Yardi manages the property. Witlingo helps staff reach the resident.

Questions to Ask When Comparing Resident Communication Platforms

Before selecting a resident communication platform, ask:

1. Can staff send an important message quickly?
2. Can one message be delivered through multiple channels?
3. Can residents receive messages in their preferred language?
4. Can residents who do not use smartphones or portals still be reached?
5. Can residents respond easily?
6. Can staff see who received a message?
7. Can management see communication activity across multiple properties?
8. Can recurring reminders be automated?
9. Is the platform easy enough for frontline staff to use without extensive training?
10. Is resident communication a core focus of the product or one feature among many?

For affordable housing operators, these questions can be especially important because effective communication may directly affect recertifications, inspections, documentation, resident services, and day-to-day property operations.
