For many of us, making the adjustment to remote work from home was something we never expected to do. In the wake of it all, we found ourselves scrambling both in and out of the office. Did I grab everything from my desk? How should I get set up at home? What the heck is Zoom and why do my coworkers need to see me working from home in my pajamas?
There were so many big changes occurring at once. On top of everything else, commercial tenants now had to address the issue of rent relief, which came with its own set of questions. If you found yourself struggling to remember the basics, like your landlord’s name, you aren’t alone. Rent relief is time sensitive so knowing the who, what, when, where, and why of all your leases is critical. Unfortunately, many people discovered they weren’t prepared just as the clock was ticking.
What Contact-Free Meant for CRE Professionals
It’s the little things that you never even had to think about before that made working from home difficult.
No more knocking on your coworkers’ door when you have a quick question about a lease. No more running down to the property managers office. No more space tours. Vital FF&E assets either sat lonely back at the office or made their way home with members of your team (I currently have a borrowed printer sitting in my living room).
As we all split up, it became more important than ever to stay on the same page. Sure, emails, phone calls, shared servers, and so many other solutions helped us go about our business, but it’s all too easy for vital information, like lease data, to get lost as you bounce from one system to the next.
That’s where are solution like Quarem comes in and saves the day.
Why Quarem is a Great Solution for Contact-Free Work
For many, lease management software is something you don’t think you need until you actually really need it. Our forced adventure into contact-free work is a perfect example of a time when you really need it.
Quarem is like a home base for all the data, documents, dates, and activity related to your leases, properties, projects, and FF&E. Everything you need, from reports to points of collaboration, is stored in one spot in the cloud where everyone that needs to can access it.
Your static lease documents are transformed into living digital profiles.
