PORTLAND, Ore., April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PointCentral, the recognized leader in enterprise-scale Property Automation solutions for short and long-term property managers, today announced the company is expanding its scope of operations to include the corporate housing market. With a focus on extended-stay corporate travelers, managers of corporate housing can now leverage PointCentral smart home technology to attract more residents and increase the efficiency of their operations.

"Managers in the corporate housing property market have many things in common with our long-term residential and multifamily property management customers," said Sean Miller, president of PointCentral. "They want to operate smarter with the ability to eliminate the risks and headaches associated with keys, control access and temperature in occupied and vacant properties, monitor the performance of their HVAC systems, reduce energy costs, and detect water leaks in their properties, while also giving their guests the convenience and safety of smart home automation."

As part of their expansion, PointCentral has joined the CHPA (Corporate Housing Providers Association), a 300+ member organization based in Indianapolis. According to the CHPA, the available properties in this segment in the U.S. grew more than 6% in 2017. On a recent CHPA podcast (https://www.chpaonline.org/Episode9) the future of corporate housing and the impact of smart home automation were discussed with Sean Miller and other guests.

Miller continued, "We designed our property automation solutions specifically for the enterprise using a secure, reliable cellular-based architecture, not Wi-Fi, that communicates with each of the smart devices in every property, giving the manager centralized control from a desktop or mobile device. It improves safety, delivers an in-demand amenity to residents, protects the asset and drives operational efficiency."
