Integration allows Yardi clients to improve the rental search experience
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Oct. 17, 2024 — ®, a leading provider of real estate software solutions, is excited to announce a new integration with , a pioneer in apartment mapping technology. This collaboration enhances Engrain’s SightMap® technology on Yardi’s RentCafe® websites, enabling multifamily clients to easily add interactive property maps that improve the rental search experience.
Previously, Yardi integrated Engrain maps into RentCafe websites, requiring collaboration across multiple teams. Now, as an Engrain reseller partner, Yardi streamlines the process for its multifamily clients by handling SightMap ordering, license management, support and native API integration. This streamlined approach results in a smoother user experience and provides deeper insights into user engagement.
The integration of Engrain’s SightMap simplifies the rental search process for renters by allowing them to easily view and evaluate available units. Website visitors can explore the property and locate the apartment that best suits their needs. This personalized approach ensures more qualified applications, leading to a faster, more satisfying leasing process for both renters and property staff.
“Renters are eager to learn as much as possible about the actual units available for rent. This integration enables property managers to provide that level of information, creating a rental search experience that meets renter expectations,” said Esther Bonardi, vice president of marketing at Yardi.
Engrain interactive maps offer:
- Advanced filtering: Assist renters in finding their ideal apartment quickly by filtering by floor plan, move-in date and other relevant criteria.
- Enhanced visualization: Provide a comprehensive understanding of the property by combining street and satellite views with unit-specific content.
- Engaging CTAs: Drive user engagement and increase conversion rates with customizable calls to action.
“Partnering with Yardi allows RentCafe clients to seamlessly order and integrate SightMap into their property websites. As renters increasingly rely on digital platforms to search for available apartments, the integration of pricing and availability data with our interactive mapping technology creates a more efficient leasing experience,” said Brent Steiner, founder and CEO of Engrain.
