Pilera Updates: January 2015

Dear Valued Pilera Customer:
Innovation is our inspiration! We are constantly looking for new and better ways to make your job easier… and 2015 is no exception! Understanding that communication is the heart of your business, we are very excited to share with you all the updates Pilera has for you.

Communication enhancements… More than a phone call!

Digital platforms offer us the alternative of reaching occupants in many ways. E-mails and text messages are nowadays the forms of communication preferred by many. Having this in mind, we have improved our platform with enhancements that will make occupants experience better. These updates include texting capability, improved reliability of phone, e-mail and SMS delivery.

Emails

We now included an unsubscribe link on all communication emails sent through Pilera. When unsubscribed, Pilera will mark their email to not be used for automated communication.
Email communications now use reply-to, which allows an occupant to reply directly to the manager who sent out the email.
Improved capability for Pilera to monitor email delivery status, as well as the reliability of the delivery.
During nightly synch with the accounting package, Pilera now automatically selects the email as preferred communication preference, if there was no prior email provided.

Phone Calls

Messages can now be repeated by pressing “1” by the end of a call.
Improved human/machine detection reliability when calls are answered.
Added better diagnostic support for ensuring phone call reliability.
Added support and quicker delivery for higher call volumes.

SMS Texting

Residents can now choose to get their messages via SMS text! At no additional cost to you!!

ALSO… for texting and email, we have language translation options! Now occupants have more than 90 language options to choose from… residents can decide the preferred language they want to recieve their communications.

We also support for phone calls in Spanish language!
