<description><![CDATA[ The concept of a &quot;traditional office&quot; work environment has evolved over time, with companies increasingly shifting to virtual settings (remote work) and/or a hybrid work environment. Working in-office can lead to instances like striking up a conversation about a project, say, at the coffee machine or the watercooler, and the result is a new idea or solution.  ]]></description>

<title>Why We LOVE Slack at CBS</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/why-we-love-slack-at-cbs</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/why-we-love-slack-at-cbs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ We all have tools that are absolute saviours in the workplace, and for us here at CBS, one of those tools is Slack. As a completely remote team, we require a communication solution that unites all departments and allows for transparent communication across teams. Luckily, Slack checks both of those boxes. If you’re a remote team tossing up between communications tools, you’re probably an advocate for Slack or Microsoft Teams. Our experience with Slack has been phenomenal for a few key reasons.  ]]></description>

<title>Why Going Paperless Will Benefit Your Business</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/the-perks-to-a-paperless-office</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/the-perks-to-a-paperless-office</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ We have been doing business on paper for hundreds of years, but now is the time for everyone to make the change. Tech is taking over more and more of our lives as everything moves online, so why not move business entirely online too? Paper products make up the largest percentage of all materials that end up in landfills, and offices are big contributors to that waste. Going paperless is something that surprisingly, few companies have fully accomplished. Moving business online is simple and goes a long way towards reducing the amount of emissions released on a global scale. Going paperless increases sustainability and convenience for businesses.  ]]></description>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/5-components-of-a-successful-smart-city-250</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As the New Year Usher&#039;s in, making cities and communities &quot;smarter&quot; is a hot topic in town halls, board rooms, and the media. According to the United Nations, more than half of the world&#039;s population lives in cities, with the urban population anticipated to reach 68 percent by 2050. Two-thirds of the world&#039;s energy is consumed by cities, and 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions are generated by them, so cities have a responsibility to be sustainable. City leaders can achieve this goal by creating an infrastructure and implementing technology that will make their city smart while improving the lives of its residents and creating additional economic opportunities. ]]></description>

<link>https://atassist.com/blog/5-reasons-to-implement-pto-management-software</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/5-reasons-to-implement-pto-management-software</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Paid time off (PTO) is a necessary implementation in today’s workforce. Research shows that people are more productive when they take breaks to rest and recharge. However, paid time off requests, scheduling, and paperwork creates more work for managers, supervisors, and HR employees. These conventional forms of time off management can lead to errors in scheduling and miscommunication, which leaves teams at a disadvantage. Time off management software is the key to ensuring that employees can take time off that they need without causing more work for other team members. This solution gives employees clarity and control over their paid leave and eliminates mistakes, given that everything organized is in one software.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ An improved workflow is certain to mean less time wasted searching for that proposal on the company intranet, waiting for feedback on your latest campaign idea, or a new assignment from your supervisor. Indeed, these are impressive benefits to workflow software, but efficiency is not your most valuable company asset. The people who work for you and their outlook on your organization are at the core of your efficiency, productivity, and client relationships, and they should be central to your workflow management system as well.  ]]></description>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/becoming-water-smart-3-steps-to-building-a-smarter-city-233</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It is predicted that over 50% of the world&#039;s population will live in cities by the year 2030. As people move into urban spaces, more resources will be required to support new residents, and one factor that cities should be thinking about now is water. Cities that stretch to conserve water will need to have plans in place to accommodate new residents and continue to support the current population. Shortages of clean water will only increase as climate change causes droughts and flooding around the world, contaminating water sources or drying them up entirely. With the advanced technology that is available to us today, it is time to start building water-smart cities for the future. Here are 3 ways to make that happen! ]]></description>

This was possible, using high technology to operate the train assisting people in reaching their designated stations.

<title>Why Smart Cities Need a People&#45;First Mentality</title>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/why-smart-cities-need-a-people-first-mentality</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As the smart cities movement has expanded, more and more technology companies are getting into the game and developing smart city technology. The technological advances are impressive, with companies offering everything from robotic taxis to real-life robocops.

However, when a city is looking to become “smart,” stakeholder meetings and planning commissions tend only to include certain groups, such as city leaders, business owners, and consultants. While these groups may be the ones that make the ultimate decisions, they’re leaving out one very important group: Citizens. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In November 2018, the results from a review of all G20 countries revealed that Canada produces the most carbon dioxide per person of any of the G20 nations.

And one of the two biggest and fastest-growing sources of those CO2 emissions?

Transportation.

As car use has grown and people move farther away from their workplaces to secure more affordable housing, the use of private vehicles has increased. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the average passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year.

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/4-most-expensive-mistakes-property-managers-make</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Life as a property manager means a constant balancing act. You’ve got to keep your current tenants happy with repairs and good service, you’ve got to find new tenants to keep your open inventory low, and you’ve got to work hard to keep the whole enterprise profitable.

With so many moving parts at any given time, it can be difficult to be sure you’re always making the best financial decisions for your properties. From keeping rents attractive enough to get new tenants but high enough that you’re not losing money to knowing which repairs need to be made now and which can wait, there’s a lot of risk involved in your job.

<description><![CDATA[ All businesses rely on customers, new and current, to help them grow and become successful. If no one’s calling and buying your products or services, your business isn’t going to be profitable and you’ll be closing your doors sooner rather than later.

But before you look at adding a new product line or investing in some splashy marketing to help get the word out about what you offer, take some time to look internally at how your business handles customer service.

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/water-you-waiting-for-save-money-on-your-water-bill</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Water is an essential to our lives like TV and good food (little bit more important but you get the idea). So, we need to know how to conserve this essential resource that affects all of mankind. Luckily, as Canadians we are privileged enough to have the largest surface area covered by water which gives us all some peace of mind! However, not everyone is in that situation, many countries across the globe are struggling to gain access to water. That is why just because we have access to some good old H20 doesn&#039;t mean we should not conserve it.

Conserving water has many benefits aside from the the obvious, such as helping the environment out (which @Assist does too by the way). It may seem daunting on how to change old habits but do not fret because we’re here to help. Down below are some interesting and practical ways you can preserve water which will help save you money. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Vietnam has come a long way in the last 40 years. It has risen up from the turmoil and destruction of war to become a thriving, growing country that is a tourist destination for many across the world.

This growth has put Vietnam in a unique position, as it needs to put systems and infrastructure in place to fuel this growth, but it lacks many of the building blocks for easy technology installation. Despite this apparent disadvantage, government leaders in Vietnam are committed to not allowing their rapid expansion come at the destruction of its people or its resources, making the country a prime candidate for smart city technology. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ This time last year the @Assist Team was preparing to pitch at Startup Grind&#039;s Global Conference. Up until that event, @Assist was known as an all-in-one property management &amp; accounting solution with a kick-bottom platform, marketing and branding. By making it into the Top 50 we had the opportunity to speak at Startup Grind&#039;s Global Conference powered by Google in Silicon Valley. We took the stage to chat about our digital platform and how it&#039;s changing the way property managers, owners and landlords manage residents, financials and industry challenges. We decreased the need for alternative programs, stacks of paperwork, spreadsheets, email and documents to help individuals manage their properties and business properly and efficiently with one easy to follow flow. If you missed it, you can read about our entire journey here. ]]></description>

<title>After Startup Grind: Cooldown</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/after-startup-grind-cooldown</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/after-startup-grind-cooldown</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ After a week of excitement and little to no sleep, Thursday morning after the conference seemed extra quiet. As we sat sipping tea at our usual table at Sheraton Hotel’s Hillside Tavern Lounge, it felt odd not have a million and one things to do with the day. We had scheduled our return road trip to start late on Friday, and this is what we did with ourselves to relax, unwind and explore. ]]></description>

<link>https://atassist.com/blog/at-startup-grind-investor-meetings</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/at-startup-grind-investor-meetings</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ One of the perks of being selected in the Top 50 at Startup Grind is the introduction to their network of Investors. Prior to arriving at the conference, we were asked to provide a response to a few additional questions for this benefit. Our answers were compiled into an introductory profile that Startup Grind provided to their network. Investors would then pick and choose which company or companies they would like to have a meeting with. While this system doesn&#039;t necessarily guarantee every company will have a meeting, it does ensure that the meetings match companies with truly interested Investors. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ At 5 a.m. on a Wednesday while most folks were still fast asleep, we were already on our way to Exhibition Day at Startup Grind. Because we&#039;d booked our hotel near the wrong Fox Theatre, it was an hour and a half journey to Redwood City. And we’d stayed up until 1 or 2 a.m. to ensure our display would be on point. ]]></description>

During this time, we had the opportunity to approach companies we had seen pitch or had found interesting. It was a laid-back environment with enthusiastic attendees eager to connect and learn more about each other. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Forget flying, road trips are so much more fun. After going through the Startup Grind Application Process and making the Top 50 selected companies, @Assist traveled to San Francisco on an incredible 3 day road trip. Having secured a reliable vehicle from the kind folks at Enterprise, our little team of four traveled 2500 km (1554 miles) from sunny Edmonton all the way to stormy San Francisco.

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/8-tips-every-property-manager-needs-to-know-for-2017</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ If you&#039;ve spent time at a property management/real estate conference or educational session lately, you&#039;ll have noticed an increase in focus on out-of -the-box and technology solutions. This is largely because tenants, especially millennials, are demanding much more than just a roof over their heads and property managers are expected to keep and maintain detailed records that can be called upon at a moment&#039;s notice. With more young people and couples choosing renting over buying, here&#039;s what you can do for 2017 to attract and keep the perfect tenant. ]]></description>

<title>Huge New Feature: Easy Property Management Accounting</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/huge-new-feature-easy-property-management-accounting</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/huge-new-feature-easy-property-management-accounting</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When getting into property management, most of us turn to Excel spreadsheets to track our income and expenses, our property&#039;s financials and our overdue accounts. While that&#039;s fine for a couple of properties, it&#039;s not exactly a system that expands easily with your business. So now that you have a few (or a lot) of properties, you&#039;ve found the need to expand to a more sophisticated accounting system that can handle multiple properties, multiple bank accounts, multiple currencies and can be accessed by multiple people...phew! But if accounting isn&#039;t your niche, you may not understand the lingo, the reports and most importantly, you may be making mistakes that could cause problems for your business down the road. So what&#039;s the answer? Why, @Assist of course! Introducing our newest feature: Property Management Accounting. And guess what? This feature is available to all of our customers at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! And because it&#039;s included with our cloud-based system, you can access it from as many devices as you want from anywhere in the world. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If you work in student housing at a university or college, September is a very busy and often frustrating time.

It&#039;s been said by many that education is the cornerstone of our society. So why aren&#039;t there better solutions to help educational institutions who are fostering our youth and preparing them for the world? ]]></description>

<title>3 Simple Ways to Manage Tenant Requests</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/3-simple-ways-to-manage-tenant-requests</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/3-simple-ways-to-manage-tenant-requests</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ I know you work hard everyday to ensure you’re building and maintaining tenant relationships, since after all, they are your customers. But you’re probably so busy trying to resolve tenant issues that sometimes it can slip your mind to actually inform them that you&#039;re handling the situation (Oops!) leaving the tenant feeling ignored. And this is especially frustrating because you’ve been diligently working and your tenant seems to be unappreciative. But ask yourself, how will they know if you never tell them? Tenants don&#039;t know what it takes to do your job which makes transparency that much more important. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ If you live in a small to medium sized condominium or strata property, the question &quot;should we consider self-management?&quot; has probably come up once or twice.

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/how-atassist-saved-a-self-managed-condominium-almost-4000-dollars-per-year</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As a self-managed condominium, you have a lot on your plate when it comes to responsibility. You’re swamped collecting money, answering phone calls and dealing with owners and contractors. With all of this going on, the administration can sometimes get left to last minute, making it necessary to hire additional staff to help with certain duties such as delivering notices. But what happens when a small condominium can’t afford extra help?

<title>How to Pick a Good Landlord</title>
<link>https://atassist.com/blog/how-to-pick-a-good-landlord</link>
<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/how-to-pick-a-good-landlord</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Typically we see this from the other perspective (i.e. how to pick a good tenant) but a landlord/tenant relationship is a two-way relationship based on trust, openness and compromise. As a tenant, whether you have a child, a pet or play a musical instrument, are finding yourselves, more often than not, categorized (and sometimes your category comes with an additional price-hike added to your rent to boot). Finding a great landlord is just as important as finding a great employer or a great school for your kids. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Finding the right tenant can be a real challenge. And limiting your search to just the petless can make it so much harder. There has been much debate about this topic with advice ranging from &quot;never rent to tenants with pets&quot; to &quot;always charge additional fees when you rent to tenants with pets&quot;. When it comes to renting a home, you likely understand that type of tenant you are looking for. If your ideal tenant is a family, then understand that that family may come with small children and pets. Additionally, if you&#039;re seeking a high income single or couple for an adult-only building, they too may come with a furry friend. ]]></description>

<title>@Assist: Behind the Idea</title>

<guid>https://atassist.com/blog/atassist-behind-the-idea</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ @Assist was founded in 2009 after years of experience in the property management industry. Property management can be both challenging and time consuming and from the beginning, we strived to create processes that would take some of a property manager&#039;s least favourite aspects of the job, such as being on call, receiving service requests and hand delivering notices, and handle them in a much more effective way. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ How much paper is in YOUR office? As a property manager or property management company you&#039;re likely printing and storing thousands of pieces of paper a year. The good news is that you&#039;re probably one of the most organized people in the country referring to a massive filing system when a property comes calling. The bad news? Well besides the fear of a flood or fire, you might be worrying about your carbon footprint. ]]></description>
