Shane: I'm Shane. I am a property manager in the real estate industry and would give Jolt a five out of five, hands down. Before using Jolt, we used binders and paper, and it looked into different task management solutions, such as Asana and various property management tools. Jolt had extremely well-designed digital checklists that we were able to use to help manage our properties and our portfolio, and to do cleaning checks and maintenance schedules and just handle the entire process of all the tasks that we needed to do as property managers. Implementing Jolt was super easy. It was fairly hands-off. The software was really intuitive. So we were able to just go in and create digital checklists and set the schedules that we needed to do those. And from there, the system just ran. It was really easy. You can't go wrong with Jolt. They do way more than just digital checklists. There's a million different things that you can leverage Jolt for, and the only thing that limits how you can use it really is your imagination and how you set it up. Jolt has phenomenal customer service as well. So if you ever have questions or needs, they have a world-class team that'll put their hands in and take good care of you, and that's the biggest thing that you won't get with other systems. You're going to go through headaches of implementation, dozens of hours trying to just set it up, and then in the end, you're going to try and get ahold of a person and not have any help or assistance. Jolt is the complete opposite.
