@Assist: The New Standard in Student Housing Software

If you work in student housing at a university or college, September is a very busy and often frustrating time. With students moving in and a new semester about to begin, it can become very apparent when a system or set of procedures isn't working as well as it should. It's been said by many that education is the cornerstone of our society. So why aren't there better solutions to help educational institutions who are fostering our youth and preparing them for the world?

The university or college student of today has grown up very differently than previous generations. With millennial culture all about information at your fingertips, today's student has grown to expect tech.

How does @Assist assist universities and colleges?

@Assist helps universities and colleges manage students, housing department staff as well as maintenance workers and requests. By having a system that allows all interactions to conveniently occur and be stored in one location, it helps residence managers become more organized. Similar to a Student/Staff Learning Portal, you will have access to students, their living accommodations, leases, invoices and documents.

Let's break it down further:

Communication

@Assist has a built-in messaging system that allows you to communicate with students, maintenance, and staff. By having all of your communication stored in one place, you can find a conversation in a snap without having to dig through an email account.

Service Requests

Students have their very own account where they can update their contact details and send service requests. You can easily check and assign service requests without leaving @Assist. Maintenance can also login and update service requests via their own account!

Emergencies

Handle emergencies with ease with @Assist's emergency feature. Students can send an emergency request without even logging in and you'll be notified by phone for quick response.

Organization

@Assist acts as a digital filing cabinet where everything is saved and stored safely online. Tracking lease dates and payments is no longer a chore, it's as easy as remembering a friend's birthday on Facebook. Uploading files for individual students or all of your residences at once is also a breeze!

Financials

Add one-time and recurring billables such as rent, parking or other fees at whatever frequency you like. Billables set to recur will automatically bill and alert the student. You can input payments received to student's accounts and students will be able to see an up-to-date statement of their account. All transactions can be exported in various formats, making it perfect for meetings or to pass on to your accounting department.

Eco-Friendly

@Assist has assisted many companies in their goal to reduce their carbon footprint by cutting their paper usage and so we're especially excited to bring this opportunity to eco-conscious schools.

Savings

Since you won't be spending hours searching through filing cabinets of paperwork, or constantly on the phone dealing and following up with students and maintenance, you will have more time to strengthen relationships and make campus life even better. Starting from about $60 a day, your school could be using the new standard in student housing management.
