Value of unified management
Assuming that the operator manages five apartments, 200 per apartment, for a total of 1,000.
The cost of hardware is at least five times higher. Five systems are operated by five administrators, with data scattered over five locations.
The unified management will solve the problem with a system.
Benefits of data concentration
Financial statistics are taken directly. Income, cost, profit from five apartments is reported in one statement. Instead of each system being exported, the totals are manually aggregated.
A manager can handle five projects instead of one person for each project.
The data are easily compared.
Integrated management technology realization
Technically there are two ways. Pure cloud deployment, or cloud cover plus local Authentication Gateway.
The simplest way to deploy a pure cloud is to send all apartment certification requests to the cloud server, which is handled by the cloud server.
Cloud-side deployment is suitable for multiple apartments in different cities. The system is accessible to all projects on cloud.
The local gateway is for quick response, and the cloud is for integrated management and data storage.
Jurisdictional management of different apartments
One system handles multiple projects, and access management is key. Not all administrators can see all data or the managers of each apartment have no operational authority.
The head office administrator can see all the items, but the permissions are modified with caution.
The financial staff can only read the statements, not the package.
Different types of flats operated differently
The system does not represent all apartments.
The system supports multiple packages of meals.
The A apartment is certified in Portal, B apartment in micro-letters, and C apartment in text messages.
The Portal page is also different. The Blue Page Theme for Apartment A, the Red Theme for Apartment B, and the Green Theme for Apartments C. Each apartment has a brand and style that can be custom-made.
Benefits of multi-project centralized management
The standard can be harmonized by the headquarters operator.
The amount of money is available.
The upgrade is completed once. System updates, functions and replacements, all apartments benefit simultaneously.
Potential problems and solutions
Unified management is not without problems. Network dependency is one. If an apartment's outer net breaks, even clouds break off. The solution is to keep local certification for each flat, and even if the cloud does not connect, tenants can access the Internet through local certification.
The data for all apartments are together, and the data for apartment A is seen by the manager of flat B. The solution is to establish strict rights, record operating logs, and trace problems.
The Chengdu Orbital apartment is managed using a cloud system if it is extended to multiple projects.
When you choose a model, you must consider integrated management if there are many projects for the operator. One system owned is much cheaper than more systems combined and is much more efficient in managing it.
