A basic Google Search for MDU PropTech Vendors will return numerous results including several “Top 10” lists of PropTech vendors that provide company background and business strategy but only a brief overview of the solution they offer. Other sites provide lists of vendors with only a company name, logo, and contact information available. The problem with these sites is that, while a list (or “Marketplace”) may give you a place to start, it doesn’t provide any of the valuable context needed to help you decide what type of PropTech to pursue or what vendor might best fit your needs.
PropTech implementations have more than a few pitfalls waiting for you if you do not know the territory. If you choose to use one of these ‘Vendor Lists’ and venture on the path alone, you can risk choosing a vendor that:
- Over-promises and under-delivers on what their solution can do
- Delivers an undesired result or even an inferior solution compared to industry standards
- Provides a solution that is not sustainable or future proof
- May or may not be around after the implementation
- Causes you to repeat the implementation process with a new vendor before realizing a return on your initial investment
PropTech IQ can help you avoid the hazards hidden on the path to Vendor selection and PropTech implementation.
