Boom Announces Integration with Rent Manager

Property managers using Rent Manager can now build renter credit, drive on-time payments, and grow ancillary revenue using Boom

AUSTIN, TX – November 29, 2023 - Today, Boom announced their integration with Rent Manager to offer a more streamlined experience for property managers using Rent Manager to report rent payments to all 3 major credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax) the same day as sign up.

Now property managers using Rent Manager can get integrated directly with Boom in 1 day, and enroll renters in two clicks. On average, Boom customers experience a 28-point increase in their credit scores within 10 days, with some customers seeing credit score increases of over 100 points. Boom’s integration with Rent Manager offers property managers and landlords a number of conveniences to simplify rent reporting and increase renter satisfaction. The integration allows users to:

  • Directly import and report rent payments using renter transaction data.
  • Auto-report on-time payments to all three credit bureaus: Experian, TransUnion, Equifax.
  • Eliminate the need to upload manually created spreadsheets.
  • Send enrollment invitations to new residents.
  • Automatically unenroll renters who have moved out.
  • De-risk security breaches with end-to-end data encryption.

This news comes three months after the release of Boom for Property Managers, the industry's first software purpose-built for rent reporting. Boom built Boom for Property Managers after hearing complaints about existing solutions because property management teams didn’t know which renters were being reported. Property managers and landlords can utilize Boom to:

  • Report rent payments for an entire portfolio in two clicks.
  • Attain an industry-leading 99%+ reporting accuracy. 
  • View real-time resident impact via the Boom Credit Impact Dashboard.
  • Report on-time payments, delinquent payments, and/or 24 months of historical payments.
  • Offer residents the Boom resident app which includes access to manage their rent reporting, view their real credit impact over time, and receive customer support.

“Surprisingly, within the property manager space, we found that even well-funded vendors lacked real PMS integrations. They also relied on spreadsheets and reported to limited credit bureaus despite advertising broader coverage, causing data problems, confusion, and headaches for both renters and landlords." said Rob Whiting, CEO & Co-founder at Boom. “Our integration with Rent Manager is a continuation of our focus on simplicity, transparency, and data quality for property managers and renters alike."

"Boom's rent reporting platform has helped me upgrade my resident offering," said property owner and operator Johnathan V. of DBI Management. "I looked at other products for reporting rent, but Boom was the only one that provided real transparency of what data was being reported and when, and it eliminated the need for spreadsheets. And most importantly, it's been a resident favorite among the offerings we have at DBI."
