The US rental housing industry is facing a growing operational challenge: managing properties increasingly means coordinating insurance, vendor relationships, contracts, cybersecurity and resident services through interconnected digital systems. As portfolios expand and compliance requirements evolve, property operators are under pressure to move beyond fragmented software tools and adopt technology that can manage multiple aspects of their businesses.

These issues will be among the topics addressed at OPTECH 2026, organized by the Real Estate Technology & Transformation Center (RETTC) and scheduled for November 16–18 in Las Vegas. The event will bring together rental housing executives, technology providers and industry stakeholders to discuss developments in artificial intelligence, automation, cybersecurity, data management and property operations.

The growing complexity of rental housing management is also creating opportunities for companies developing software that connects previously separate operational processes. Insurance administration, vendor verification and contract management, for example, are increasingly being treated as interconnected components of property risk management rather than independent administrative tasks.

Companies expand beyond insurance administration

One company operating in this space is Get Covered, an insurance technology company developing software for the property insurance industry. Its platform connects insurance carriers, agencies, property managers, landlords and membership associations, with tools designed to streamline policy administration, compliance and customer experience.

The company’s expansion reflects a broader shift in proptech toward platforms that address multiple operational requirements. In June 2026, Get Covered acquired Revyse, an AI-powered vendor intelligence and compliance platform, extending its capabilities into vendor documentation, contract management and spend intelligence.

The acquisition brings another layer of operational oversight into Get Covered’s existing insurance technology infrastructure. Property managers must not only verify insurance coverage but also maintain accurate vendor records, monitor contractual obligations and ensure that third-party service providers meet applicable requirements.

According to the company, its platform supports insurance compliance across more than three million rental units. The addition of Revyse expands its scope beyond insurance verification, positioning the business to address a wider range of compliance and vendor management requirements.

Brandon Tobman, founder and CEO of Get Covered, will attend OPTECH 2026 as property technology companies and housing operators examine how software and artificial intelligence can improve industry workflows.

Why integration is becoming a priority for property operators

The challenge facing rental housing businesses is no longer limited to digitizing individual processes. As operators adopt more specialized platforms, ensuring that those systems communicate effectively becomes increasingly important.

Disconnected software can create duplicated records, manual verification processes and gaps in compliance oversight. Integrating insurance, vendor management, payments and leasing systems can help reduce administrative friction while giving property managers a more consistent view of their operations.

Artificial intelligence is also becoming part of this transition. Its potential applications include processing documentation, identifying discrepancies and supporting compliance workflows. However, implementation also raises questions about data reliability, cybersecurity and the level of human oversight required when automated systems influence operational decisions.

For companies such as Get Covered, the opportunity lies in connecting these functions within a broader technology ecosystem for rental housing. Its acquisition of Revyse illustrates how insurance technology providers are expanding into adjacent areas of property operations.

OPTECH 2026 will provide a platform for examining these developments as the US rental housing industry navigates an increasingly complex technology environment. For operators, the next phase of digital transformation may depend less on the number of software tools they adopt and more on how effectively those tools work together.
