Challenge

Streetlane Homes wanted to partner with top brands to bring additional value to their residents.

Anticipate resident needs
Residents have a variety of needs which change over time and with seasonality. Offering curated, money-saving benefits to residents helps improve resident satisfaction and retention.
Avoid expensive tech investment & development time
Launching a customer-facing benefits program typically requires significant engineering resources that are hard to come by & distracts from the core business efforts.
Rapidly source relevant partnerships
It takes a lot of time to research and develop new partnerships and negotiate ongoing partnership agreements.
Grow and track partnership performance
Tracking performance of member benefits and partnership engagement is important but can be difficult due to technical requirements.

Streetlane was able to quickly spin up and deploy their resident benefits portal and event-driven emails to their residents in record time. This enabled Streetlane to maintain focus on growing their core business and realize a positive ROI.
