Ailo founder Ben White (pictured above), speaking at Ray White’s property management conference called PMC in the Hunter valley, said the legacy systems available in this industry forced property managers to make impossible compromises daily.

He showcased Ailo’s Projects dashboard to more than 400 attendees from across Australia.

Ailo is a ground-breaking business operating system for property managers that handles payments, solves communication, helps coordinate work, and provides a better experience for everyone.

The Ailo platform is a revolutionary business operation platform which brings together all elements of property management in one technology piece.

There’s no secret that recruitment is difficult right now in property management and Ailo’s systems help to train staff up quickly and seamlessly.

‘Projects’ are the system within the system, the long desired solution to deliver property management service consistently and with quality ultimately serving investors and property manager’s.

“We asked ourselves, how can we make property managers do their job and how can we make it more enjoyable for them? The issue is the inbox is still the primary tool to manage a property manager’s day and eight out of 10 property managers have ‘passion fatigue’,” he said.

“Some 16 per cent of property managers in the industry will not be here in a year, and one in five businesses are involuntarily understaffed, meaning they cannot get staff.

“And so ‘Projects’ was born in Ailo to automate everything that should be automated. It’s one spot for everything, and we layer in best practice and encourage teamwork. It’s changing the game.”

Juliette Hughes from Ailo facilitated a panel with tech advocates Catherine Wells Ray White Batemans Bay, Alex Becker from Ray White Redcliffe and Carolyn Norman of Ray White Windsor (pictured above).

Ray White Victoria property management business development executive Alana Bess (pictured above) showed the PMC attendees how to turn toxic stress into healthy stress to help them succeed.

“Stress is a normal physical response to challenging situations and it can actually be a positive reaction which allows you to accomplish amazing things,” Ms Bess said.

“But we often fall into a cycle of perfectionism and decide we will feel better and start taking care of ourselves once we are perfect. We do everything in our power to pursue perfectionism but we set the bar too high and we fall short – it’s unrealistic. We then feel awful about who we are and we’re back to square one – it’s a cycle.

“We need to break down stress and move it from our circle of concern which we have no control over, to our circle of control which is a proactive space. We want to expand that circle and for that to be where we place our healthy stress.

“There are three things we can do to make this happen. We need to stop the cycle by pausing, reassessing and regrouping, set our mantra and flip the script.”
