The partnership will enable purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) operators to more quickly deploy Lavanda’s proptech solutions across their portfolios.
The integration of Embracent’s data optimisation, security, compliance, ESG consulting, and program management services also means that Lavanda’s property management system, OpenPMS, can more easily be integrated across much larger portfolios.
The first project under the new partnership is with Unite Students – the UK’s largest provider of PBSA – with both Lavanda and Embracent working to roll out OpenPMS across the entire 68,000-bed portfolio.
“Our partnership with Embracent marks a major milestone for Lavanda, as we continue to expand our global partner ecosystem across the student accommodation and BTR sectors. By combining our cutting-edge proptech solutions with Embracent’s integration expertise, we can now scale our OpenPMS platform further and faster, deploying it across larger portfolios than ever before.”
– Fred Lerche-Lerchenborg, CEO, Lavanda
The platform will power Unite’s business-critical property management operations, streamlining and automating a range of complex workflows, while elevating the overall student living experience.
These capabilities – including secure payments, ID verifications, and move-in checklists – significantly streamline both the beginning and end of tenancy processes, such as deposit management, cleaning and maintenance.
Unite Students will also benefit from Lavanda’s powerful analytics and reporting tools, providing real-time business intelligence, including deep insights into financial and occupancy data alongside other key metrics.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Lavanda. Our combined expertise will enable us to deliver innovative, high-performance solutions that set new standards in property management. This partnership underscores our commitment to driving technological advancement in the real estate sector.”
– Mark Lockton, CEO, Embracent
