WALTHAM, MA - RentGrow, Inc., a leader in resident screening software for the multifamily housing industry, today introduced the newest version of its award-winning TotalScreen resident screening solution. The new TotalScreen solution delivers exceptional automation, intelligence and customization capabilities that significantly improve consistency, accuracy and FHA compliance of the tenant screening process.
"Property management companies today are requiring end-to-end solutions to ensure screening is quick, consistent and in compliance with fair housing regulations," said Michael Lapsley, president and CEO of RentGrow. "Our new TotalScreen release addresses these needs while enabling more cost-effective screenings. For the corporate office, we are offering the control and consistency required for compliance. For leasing agents, we deliver the clarity and confidence for expedient and accurate decisions."
TotalScreen enhancements include:
Exceptional Automation: TotalScreen now delivers seamless automation to speed and optimize screening. For example, the leasing agent previously would run a credit check and then choose which screening report to run next. By automating this process in a standardized pre-defined workflow, TotalScreen now eliminates human error of forgetting to run subsequent screens. This ensures the screening process is consistent and uniform, which improves reliability and compliance.
Improved Intelligence: Unlike many screening solutions with 'one size fits all' screening, TotalScreen provides exceptional screening intelligence that delivers economical and efficient screening. For example, a property management company creates a consistent policy to run screenings in order of credit, address, criminal and eviction check. If an applicant passes the first step of credit, TotalScreen will automatically continue with the remaining steps. However, if the applicant fails the credit check, TotalScreen has the intelligence to automatically stop the screening process, eliminating additional costs for running unnecessary reports.
"Our company was looking for a screening solution that delivered more consistency and control to our applicant screenings," said Cheryl Taylor, regional vice president at The Shelter Group. "TotalScreen gives us exceptional flexibility to better assess tenant applications and its efficient automation not only saves us time and money, but delivers more standardized and reliable results."
Expanded Customization: TotalScreen gives the property management company the freedom to customize the screening process including the order and sequence of all screening criteria including credit check, address search, criminal check, eviction check, and rental history check. Each management company or property has different screening priorities. Some need to first run criminal checks, others may want a credit check done first. TotalScreen empowers property management firms to customize their screening based on their specific policies, priorities and needs.
Designed specifically for the multifamily industry, TotalScreen is the most advanced and feature-rich web-based resident screening tool in the industry. TotalScreen empowers property managers with the competitive advantage to maximize rental revenue in any economic climate or region ' while dramatically lowering risk and increasing numbers of acceptable applicants. With exceptional flexibility, speed and accessibility, TotalScreen delivers comprehensive reporting options with access to the highest quality data, including: Credit Screening; Criminal and Premium Criminal Screening; Eviction/Landlord Tenant Records Screening; Rental History Screening; National Address Search; Management Reporting; Pre-Employment Screening; and Business Profile Reports.
