Can you tell us why the AppFolio and ButterflyMX integration works well for mutual customers?
Our customers are at the center of everything we do. With this integration, customers increase their staff’s productivity and reduce security incidences.
Resident information is automatically updated when new residents move in or out of a property, allowing property managers to focus on other aspects of their business instead of manually updating information across multiple systems. It also helps to ensure that residents are provided access when needed, and that access is revoked after a resident moves out, which helps to keep the property secure.
