Switching guide

Switching from LOFT by RealPage without leaving RealPage.

Keep RealPage as the system of record. ElevateOS syncs residents, leases and applicants from RealPage and adds the door, the packages, the amenities, the events, the staffed services and the revenue share that a PMS-native app isn't built for.

Optima Signature consolidated six resident portals into one.

What stays. What changes.

The cutover keeps the systems and equipment that still work, then replaces the resident and staff experience around them.

What stays

RealPage, rent, leasing and accounting.

What changes

a branded resident app that is the building's app, not the PMS vendor's; Staff App for staff; income from services, amenities, parking and events.

Plan for this

The one thing to settle before launch.

the hardware. LOFT deployments may carry the PMS vendor's preferred hardware; ElevateOS connects what's installed, whatever the brand.

Four weeks, no forklift.

A typical cutover runs about a month and nothing goes dark. Your onboarding plan will be specific to your buildings; this is the shape.

  1. Week 1, connect the PMS.

    Residents and leases sync from Yardi, Entrata, RealPage, ResMan, AppFolio or Rent Manager. Residents notice nothing yet.

  2. Week 2, connect the hardware.

    Locks, intercoms, lockers and thermostats connect to ElevateOS. The old app works in parallel. No lock is reprogrammed.

  3. Week 3, brand and configure.

    The home screen, amenities, fees, services catalog and Resivents calendar are set up. Staff get Staff App and training.

  4. Week 4, activate.

    Invitation emails go out, residents activate and keys appear on phones. The old app sunsets after an overlap you choose.

You keep: the hardware, the PMS, the staff and the exported history. You change: one app, one login and one invoice.
