    We have been trying to go paperless for a while now. We are much better at this than before but struggle with this daily. We have probably cut our paper consumption in half from two years ago but know we can still do better in the future.

      Dave – This is a really common challenge for Property Managers. It can be really challenging to move everything online! It is a great accomplishment to have cut your paper consumption in half – these are significant cost savings for your business. Are there any specific areas that are harder than others to go ‘paperless’?
