How to reduce end‑of‑tenancy administration by as much as 95% 

The Depositary today announces the launch of a full end‑to‑end integration with Reapit, now available to download in the Reapit AppMarket. This is not just another connector – it’s a deeper, purpose‑built link that removes all manual data entry and migration between Reapit and The Depositary, while adding layers of automation, validation, and process intelligence designed specifically for letting agents, property managers and large‑scale landlords.

A smarter integration – not just data porting

While many solutions view “integration” as mere data export or import, The Depositary has reimagined the agent experience from the ground up:

The integration is triggered automatically at the point Reapit’s “end confirmed” action is performed, exporting all tenancy data & documents in one seamless step to The Depositary.

The Depositary imports tenant forwarding addresses- a feature especially effective for Insured deposit scheme clients.

The Depositarygenerates and exports to Reapit a full Reconciliation Document showing the final deposit ledger, agreed deductions, allocations and (for Insured clients) Tenant bank details.

When deposit ‘deregistration’ is completed in Reapit, The Depositaryauto‑concludes the transaction.

Finally, The Depositary produces and exports a Completion Document into Reapit – a complete snapshot of the transaction, including ledgers, deductions, action logs, and full email trails — automatically, with full due diligence baked in.

In short: no more copying or pasting across platforms; no more messy reconciliation spreadsheets; no more manual audits or patchwork processes.

Cleaner data, fewer headaches

A key differentiator is our Import Wizard which sits between Reapit and The Depositary, which flags missing, inconsistent or invalid datacoming from Reapit. It guides agents through step‑by‑step correction and recapture, improving data quality within Reapitbefore the transaction progresses. This means agents benefit from cleaner, more reliable data across their stack, which underpins every downstream decision: reporting, compliance, insights, operational tools. We all know how much wasted time and risk stems from “dirty data.” This wizard is built to help agents nip that in the bud, not after the fact.

Dramatic reductions in admin, supercharged with AI

Reapit agents who adopt this native integration – or join The Depositary platform – can expect to reduce end‑of‑tenancy administration by as much as 95%, leveraging:

  • Full automation between Reapit and The Depositary
  • Built‑in integrations with tenancy deposit schemes TDS & MyDeposits
  • Connectors to nine leading inventory software providers
  • An expanding suite of AI tools, starting with our AI Negotiation Assistant(launched August 2025), which has already gathered strong user feedback

A Unified Platform from Letting A Property Tackling UK Lettings End-to-End 

Over the past 8 years in my other day job as a proptech consultant (Proptech-PR) I have met over 1,400 proptech founders, and worked 1:1 with over 180 of them and about 20% + are operating in the lettings space both here and throughout the world, and to my mind, Vivo  emerges as a compelling entrant — the management software that powers the LettingAProperty full-cycle lettings platform. Integrating listing, tenancy management, rent collection, and compliance under one roof. For UK landlords navigating fragmented tools and shifting regulation, Vivo offers a single dashboard where every stage of the rental journey is visible and actionable.

OpticWise ‘Why CRE tenants want more and operators drown in opaque data’

Week 20: Connect – Collect – Control: The Essential Data & Digital Infrastructure Framework for CRE

In this weekly series, we explore how the commercial real estate industry is being transformed by data and digital infrastructure. Guided by the principles in Peak Property Performance, we unpack a new idea every week to help owners unlock value, reduce risk, and future-proof their portfolios. Learn more about OpticWise and Bill Douglas, the authors of this series.

Most building owners don’t realize they already have the ingredients for a digital advantage—they just don’t have the recipe.

Silos, outdated networks, and disconnected point solutions prevent assets from reaching their full potential. Meanwhile, tenants are asking for better experiences, operators are drowning in data they can’t use, and leadership teams are under pressure to show measurable impact from tech spend.

This is where the Connect – Collect – Control framework comes in. It’s the backbone of modern Data & Digital Infrastructure (DDI), and it represents a strategic progression toward intelligence, automation, and operational excellence.

Let’s unpack each layer.

1. Connect – Establish the Digital Plumbing

You can’t manage what you can’t measure—and you can’t measure without connectivity.

Connect is about building the secure, property-wide digital foundation that links devices, sensors, systems, and people. This means managed WiFi, Ethernet, IoT controllers, gateways, and network segmentation that enable real-time communication across all building layers.

At OpticWise, we call this the BoT® layer—the Building of Things®. When done right, it enables seamless integration between systems that were never designed to speak to each other, creating a canvas for interoperability and innovation.

2. Collect – Activate the Right Data

Once your digital plumbing is in place, the next step is to Collect the data that flows through it.

This includes sensor data, system performance metrics, occupancy trends, environmental readings, user behavior, and much more. But not all data is valuable. Owners must focus on use-case-driven data collection—prioritizing data that supports tenant experience, predictive maintenance, ESG goals, and NOI optimization.

Importantly, this also means structuring data in ways that are standardized, interoperable, and usable by both machines and humans.

3. Control – Unlock Intelligence & Action

Connectivity and collection are only the beginning. The final and most impactful layer is Control.

This is where owners move from passive systems to proactive optimization. With a well-architected DDI backbone, buildings can respond dynamically to conditions in real time—automating HVAC schedules, surfacing tenant experience insights, allocating bandwidth intelligently, or flagging anomalies before they become failures.

Control means owners are no longer at the mercy of their tech vendors. They’re in charge of the digital and physical environment—with full visibility, governance, and decision-making power.
