Real Estate software company Common Areas has launched what they are calling the industry's first “configurable” platform. The new cloud-based real estate operations platform can be tailored to a company's needs, offering flexibility and increasing efficiency without disrupting a company's current operations model. This is achieved through the platform by instantly syncing the company's data, systems and people.

“Every company we work with has figured out a way to operate their business,” Casey Rue, founder and CEO of Common Areas, tells GlobeSt.com. Most often they like and are used to doing it their way. Some of the processes they use work well and some not as much, but everyone across the board wants the ability to do more with less, faster. The ability to scale existing processes can be an incredible challenge and many times is impossible. Abandoning the way things have always been done and implementing new processes can be equally challenging as it always requires a significant upfront investment of either time, money, headaches or all of the above. Not surprisingly, everyone wants the best of both worlds where they can work in the ways they are accustomed as well as have the ability to streamline and scale their operations.”
