Challenges

"It used to be manual and inefficient."

Before implementing Juniper, Zenterra faced significant hurdles in managing homeowner care. The process was heavily dependent on spreadsheets, emails, and rigid tracking systems, which lacked the flexibility and innovation needed for efficient operations.

"Our previous platform was web-based but optimized for desktop, not mobile, so it worked for head office people but not for site staff. Not having offline access was a major roadblock when doing inspection walkthroughs with limited internet connectivity."

Homeowner Care Manager, Zenterra Developments

Homeowner resources were mostly printed, as the platform didn't easily host digital materials, which increased costs and reduced accessibility.

"Communication was fragmented, and we struggled with data consistency and accountability. As a result, response times were slower, and it was challenging to deliver the level of service our homeowners expected."

Zenterra needed a more effective solution that could support all roles—from sales and construction teams to homeowners—while allowing for customizations and scalability as their portfolio grew.

Centralized and efficient

Juniper addressed Zenterra's challenges by delivering a comprehensive, end-to-end homeowner care platform that centralized operations and fostered better collaboration.

"Juniper has streamlined our entire homeowner care workflow with centralized issue tracking, automated notifications, and real-time dashboards."

"We've seen huge benefits from the instant messaging platform: it tracks communication between trades, homeowners, and the homeowner care team all in one central location, and is organized by unit and service request."

Key features like the walkthrough app and digital paper trails for sign-offs ensured accountability and reduced manual errors. Juniper's offline functionality was a game-changer, allowing site staff to work seamlessly without constant internet access.

Zenterra also eliminated printed homeowner manuals by transitioning to Juniper's digital platform, centralizing all resources like care instructions and custom how-to videos for easy online access. This shift included innovative ideas like placing QR codes within units to link directly to targeted maintenance videos. This digitization led to a reduction in service calls and potential home damages while ensuring information "lives with the home" even through ownership and tenancy changes.

"The ability to modify the platform with our in-house team on the fly and fine-tune it to our needs has been huge. Juniper is ahead of the curve, willing to innovate, and works for all departments."

The messaging function stands out as a key differentiator, allowing trades and internal staff to communicate directly with homeowners within the platform, ensuring all interactions are tracked and concerns are addressed promptly. Announcements can be sent easily without relying on mass emails, making it simple to update residents across multiple project phases.

Quantifiable improvements include a substantial reduction in service calls post-occupancy, as homeowners can access information intuitively and independently.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive: Homeowners find the platform "very intuitive and in-depth," easily locating the information they need. Trades, initially hesitant about adopting a new tool, have provided positive response and appreciate its simplicity alongside tools like Procore.

"Juniper has influenced our broader customer experience strategy by enabling faster response times and better communication. The messaging function keeps everything organized, preventing issues from falling through the cracks."

As Zenterra scales, Juniper has played a key role in providing a centralized system for homeowner care. Zenterra has increased the number of projects it manages on the platform from one to six, with future projects in the pipeline.

“The transition to Juniper has helped us move beyond manual workarounds and fragmented processes. Now, everything our homeowners need is in one place—accessible, intuitive, and designed for the best possible experience.”

Overall, Juniper has elevated Zenterra's homeowner care to a higher caliber, fostering trust, efficiency, and innovation as the company continues to expand.
