ASSD & Efficiency

ASSD will help you create efficiency by providing the right tools to automate essential business processes.

Automated processes, when optimized, deliver the greatest level of efficiency.

Time saved through automation allows resource reallocation.

Efficient online allocations increase online exposure - increasing revenue and driving profitability.



Business Processes – what are they?

A business process is a set of logically related business activities that combine to deliver something of value (e.g. products, goods, services or information) to a customer.

What is Business Process Management?

“The achievement of an organization’s objectives through the improvement, management, and control of essential business processes.”


Why does it matter?

If not managed, processes tend to get out of control based on the need of the moment or outdated tools – causing inefficiencies.

So what does this have to do with Property Management Systems?

“The first rule of any technology is that automation applied to an efficient process will magnify the efficiency.

inefficient process will magnify the inefficiency” ~ Bill Gates
