Ringley's techstack is the result of 20 years experience of managing residential real estate and covers everything from transactional leaseup, to the community experience, management of revenue and plant compliance.
PropTech: Vertically integrated
To drive returns at scale the data informs strategy, whether that be you have too many 'move outs' in July, or to automate processes such as renewals and rent arrears, or to set rent increases to queue for the next tenancy, or to make light work of deposit recovery. By simplifying transactions to guided decisions with automated ledger postings, teams can focus on driving rents, cost control and cost recovery to maximise the gross to net.
Rent pricing, pet rent and utilities management are part of what we do. Our techstack is agile and supports vertical integration by adopting the fund level chart of accounts to get rid of re-work on fund accounting and reporting.

We are the 'vertically integrated data people'
- Frictionless rental journey for residents, from finding a property to moving out.
- Our App generator portal creates lifestyle apps branded to your schemes to showcase all that is on offer. Build community, manage repairs, and calculate your Net Promoter Score.
- We share building safety with residents. They scan the QR code on the fire alarm or lift and can see maintenance records.
- Drive environmentally conscious living. Residents scan QR codes on appliances and connect to video-based home user guides, showcasing appliance energy efficiency features and how many trees can be saved.
- We start the conversation and foster a sense of community to reduce churn costs and reward those who stay.
- Amenity and event marketing tools and resident surveys are included.
- Vertical integration means less time collecting data, joining the dots and no re-work. Our living sectors platform tech is end-to-end not an array of off-the-shelf apps often with conflicting data structures!
- Over 100 KPIs included: rental growth, churn, demographics, viewing feedback, arrears, rent collection rate, repairs, deposit performance, OpEx, PPM, fire doors and fire risk assessment actions and more.... Most drill down to unit type.
- Our tech can reduce staff, it enables dual roles and drives staff efficiencies. It robots can do it (demands, allocations, bank recs, chasing arrears, marketing, viewing feedback, PPM), ours do. Our teams are leaner, and tech gives teams more time to drive community where a human face is needed most, e.g., front-of-house.

Leasing
PlanetRent is so much more than Spike or Yardi Rent Cafe, Real Page or Qube. Four years of meticulous planning of each customer journey has removed all the rookie schoolboy errors and PlanetRent is a rules driven app that models each customer choice. This means the accounting is right first time, even if the customer changes their mind, switches units, varies their dates or decides to move out early.
-
Unit compliance
The risks dashboard in PlanetRent provides a snapshot of Gas Safe, ECIR, EPCs, HMO Licences due, expiring or missing. This makes it easy to ensure that unit compliance is kept up to date so that the lease up process is deskilled for front line staff on site who simply click to trigger an institutional quality welcome journey. And, should anything be missing meaning that it was not automatically triggered on letting or renewal to each resident then this shows on the New Lets Compliance Report so thr missing or expired doc can be uploaded which automatically will send at point of upload to the tenant(s), just like it would where a doc is renewed during the tenancy.
-
Tenant compliance
The risks dashboard in PlanetRent provides a snapshot of passports and visa to make it easy to know that Right to Rent checks are in order. These also show on the New Lets Compliance Report and during tenancy renewals so they cannot be forgotten.
-
Plant & Equipment compliance
Ringley's systems use QR code asset tagging to monitor the performance of plant and equipment, and if desired, white goods and furniture too.
The Planned Preventative Maintenance plan 'PPM' records in diary view what needs maintaining when linking to the relevant British Standard, as well as databasing recommendations so actions can be closed out.
Plant serial numbers are databased against QR codes as are specific fire doors. This powers inspection apps for site staff, fire door inspectors and contractors too.
-
Client monies & new lets compliance
To keep you safe governance-wise PlanetRent has APIs to Reposit our deposit alternative partner and TDS - the Tennacy Deposit Service.
The 'New lets compliance report' as well as returning TDS or Reposit registration numbers confirms other legal pitfalls have been complied with and that residents have been presented with:- EPCs
- Gas Safe certificates
- HMO licences
- ECIR certificates
- Relevant deposit scheme leaflet
- Government How to Rent guide
- Prescribed information
-
Revenue management
Our techstack uses AI to drive robotic accounting. Gone are the days rent memos, data input and accounting. We have eliminated or simplified the layers between teams and enabled open book accounting. To maximise collection we collect from residents individually but for debts treat them as jointly and severally liable.
Reporting can be scheduled inneditable excel form. Reports provide a rolling 12 month snapshot and separately identify each unique revenue stream as well as arrears collected, recovered from deposits or written off.
-
Community engagement
Our App generator platform creates a whitelabelled App for you. Your App will adopt your asset or portfolio branding and has modules to power events, booking amenities, bicycle hire, flat cleans, tuck shop, boiler servicing, fire door inspections, 121 and community chat and more... Everything can be reviewed with 4* and 5* reviews pushed to social media to build the brand.
-
Budgetary control
At Ringley the Operational Budget is linked to the Asset Register, rules ensure all plant is budgeted for and gets added to the Planned Preventative Maintenance plan 'PPM'. Real time variance reporting is a reality uniquely with Click through to individual invoices and instant ability to recode expenditure if necessary. The budget model adopts each Clients chart of accounts to power consolidated portfolio reporting.
-
CapEX management
Where the strategy is to 'exit' we will build a 10 year CapEx. For assets to be 'held' then by taking the quantity surveyors and mechanical and electrical engineers schedules we will build a lifecycle CapEx.
The asset level business plan will record the agreed relevant CapEx projects for the year for us to procure.
Together these are all accelerators. We generate you a Residents App branded to the building or your portfolio brand. Our Apps have modules to power events, book amenities, run bicycle hire, flat cleans, tuck shop, boiler servicing, fire door inspections, 121 and community chat and more... Everything can be reviewed with 4* and 5* reviews pushed to social media to build the brand.

& Mobilisation

the Living Sectors
We can incorporate asset tagging (QR Codes) to monitor the performance of plant and equipment, and if desired, white goods and furniture too.

Living Sectors PropTech: BTR Vertically integrated for Asset Managers
Some asset managers show a reluctance to deviate from their manual reporting approaches not Ringley! For an Asset Manager, data is arguably the king or queen of the land. The more one reaches under the hood to optimise the customer experience and leverage data such as reasons the viewing did not result in a let, the more one can feed the learning in and make calculated decisions that will safeguard against avoidable voids and losses in value.
Operations aside, many are still guilty of failing to appreciate that technology needs to be incorporated at every stage of the asset lifecycle. At the pre-construction stage that means tech-enabled site finding, financial modelling to support underwriting, local market analysis, and rent pricing, for example. The overall objective is an investment strategy shaped by a plethora of data points delivered through tech and those which ultimately feed into the value-add proposition.
Intuitive tech that blends the high-level and transactional views enables right 1st time and frictionless resident journeys, which in turn gives teams the bandwidth to unlock their human intuition. This is what unlocks the value of that tech in question. Performance indicators can only mean anything if they are interpreted by those with a tight grip on the nuances of the marketplace in which they sit and how they fit into the wider investment strategy, from design through to stabilisation and exit.
