The integration, which is the first of its kind in the multi-family apartment industry, increases the visibility of optimized rates by leveraging the proven lease/rent optimization system created by Rainmaker, revolution LRO, with the VaultWare online availability and reservation system. The integrated solution ensures that optimized apartment rates automatically appear online through VaultWare's system that serves a large number of popular rental sites including Apartments.com, ForRent.com, ApartmentGuide.com and Move.com

According to VaultWare chief operating officer, Mike Cornell, the integration provides the industry with a win-win scenario. "The win for property managers is the opportunity to increase revenues in a way they never could before. The win for consumers is 'choice.' We're excited about this partnership with the leader of revenue management. This integration means the best online leasing user experience in the industry. As fast as properties are optimizing their pricing with revolution LRO, they can now accurately and effortlessly distribute that information on the Internet with VaultWare. This leverages their revolution LRO investment to the max since their optimized pricing is now viewable by the largest and fastest growing segment of renters today -- online consumers."

revolution LRO works by dynamically calculating optimized lease/rent pricing in near-real time that varies with terms and move-in dates and instantly adjusts to reflect changes in demand and availability. Then through VaultWare's industry-first, multi-dimensional grid display, much like the daily booking rate grid offered by airlines, consumers can choose their desired lease term length and move-in date and see the corresponding rate.

"It's no secret that revenue management is taking off in the apartment industry. Realty DataTrust is a true visionary to react to this trend and provide more consumers with choices that make online leasing easier." said Bruce Barfield, president of The Rainmaker Group. "Thanks to this integration shoppers can truly enjoy an online leasing experience customized to their needs."

The revolution LRO system has been in use at leading multi-family housing companies for five years and its lease/rent revenue optimization success is verified by independent accounting firms. LRO was originally developed for Archstone-Smith. In 2006, The Rainmaker Group, Inc., an independent technology solutions and services provider whose expertise is focused on revenue management solutions, acquired rights to develop, implement and support the revolution LRO system. Current LRO clients include Simpson Housing, Equity Residential, Home Properties, Archstone-Smith, Mid-America Apartment Communities and Post Properties.
