Wreno and HappyCo partner to transform property management
We’re proud to share that Wreno — the all-in-one platform for property managers to find, vet, and onboard third-party vendors — is partnering with HappyCo, a leading solution for multifamily property managers to centralize maintenance operations.
Why we’re joining forces
HappyCo and Wreno have the same North Star: We’re both dedicated to centralizing and streamlining the critical processes of property management.
Here at Wreno, we provide property managers with a unified solution to find, manage, hire, and onboard third-party vendors for any job, without the risk of vendor noncompliance. And HappyCo offers property managers a comprehensive suite of tools to manage maintenance work, which streamlines operations and improves resident experience.
These complementary strengths form the heart of our partnership: Multifamily property managers can centralize and automate the work of third-party vendors with Wreno and the work of in-house technicians with HappyCo.
What this partnership means for our clients
With the power of Wreno and HappyCo at your fingertips, your team can manage all your maintenance and vendor needs in one place. That’s because our best-in-the-business solutions are integrated seamlessly into a unified platform.
With one login, your team can:
Get the vendor insights you need for the jobs you need.
To find the right vendors — whether for day-to-day maintenance tasks or large CapEx projects — you need the right data. We collect and curate it for you, gathering standardized details on vendors’ services, specialties, credentials, coverage, capacity, and more.
Our easy-to-use database has 400,000 vendors nationwide, searchable by dozens of criteria, to help you pick the best vendors for the job — including repair and maintenance work, unit turns, and CapEx and large-scale renovation projects.
Find and onboard risk-free vendors with automated workflows.
Hiring qualified, in-compliance vendors takes a lot of paperwork. We take on the administrative burden by authenticating trade licenses, chasing down certificates of insurance, corralling project contracts, and more.
And since the right paperwork depends on the project, we make compliance onboarding fully customizable. You can define onboarding requirements that vary by trade type, building, market, and beyond. After that, you can start an automated onboarding workflow with one click.
We also make bid fulfillment easy. When it’s time to request quotes, you can seamlessly advertise jobs to vendors and then receive, review, and track bids in one place.
Save on costs with AI-powered quotes.
Our proprietary AI technology, VendorIQ, offers instant quotes customized for your projects and informed by your key variables, including trade type and skills, geographic area, cost of materials, industry pricing data — or your own pricing catalog, if you have one — and more.
This means you can standardize the cost-estimation process for all your properties, and all your team members, anywhere in the world.
Why we’re in this business
For the last few years, multifamily property managers have faced a suite of new challenges, including rising interest rates, shrinking revenue margins, and a high turnover rate for in-house maintenance technicians — making management of third-party vendors indispensable.
For multifamily property managers, the path forward is centralization — the task of consolidating operational functions and processes into unified platforms. It’s a hot topic because it works: Centralization cuts costs, improves efficiency, and reduces risks of regulatory noncompliance. Better for property managers, better for residents.
Smarter, faster vendor management is a key piece of the centralization puzzle, but historically, finding and managing vendors — from electricians to plumbers, inspectors to HVAC techs — has been time-consuming and manual. Hunting down vendor details is tedious. Scattershot assessment of vendor compliance creates liability risks. Onboarding vendors via traditional paperwork eats up time that property managers don’t have.
But vendor management doesn’t have to be a costly uphill battle. With smart, all-in-one technology, property managers can find and manage third-party vendors, save time, and eliminate risk.
Together, Wreno and HappyCo are solving the challenges of maintenance and vendor centralization, so property managers don’t have to.
