Details

The field of Property Management is complex, and traditionally is a very "paper" heavy industry with contracts, leases, condition reports and other manual types of documents.

Since COVID, our company went to a remote employee model, with many team members in different locations and even, different countries.

As a result all new documents are scanned and uploaded to a central Dropbox folder. The issue is some of our older files still exist in a filing cabinet in our office located in Winnipeg, Manitoba and needs to also be digital and in our servers, so our remote employees can access them.

The scope of this project will entail:

  • Going through a property's folder in our filing cabinet, verifying the types of documents in it
  • All documents will be verified to be scanned, the others can be shredded
  • Scan the documents, upload them into our Dropbox server
  • Upload certain critical documents into our Property Management Software (lease, lease renewals, condition reports)
Deliverables

This is a great learning opportunity for a students to get used to working in a formal office environment, have this experience on their resume, as well as learning critical analysis in reading important documents, in addition to adhering to privacy principles.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

  • Familiarize themselves with digital and paperless office models
  • Familiarize themselves with the property management software and basic operation (training and training videos provided)
  • Examine these critical documents, scan them into Dropbox, then choose the appropriate leases, lease renewals and condition reports to be appended to the tenant file(s) in our property management software

Mentorship

Students will work directly with our Training Manager and Quality Assurance Department. There will be weekly check-in meetings, in addition to Zoom Q&A sessions.
