The future of property management is digital. Digital twins now power virtual depreciation schedules, compliance insights and operational data digitally.
For years, property managers have accepted site visits as part of the job, beyond rental inspections. Whether for trades, service providers or compliance checks, it meant added time, cost and coordination. That model no longer makes sense.
Forward-thinking agencies are now digitising their rent rolls and transforming the way they operate. They begin by capturing new properties during onboarding, with digital inspections when the property first goes to market. The immediate payoff is shorter listing times and fewer days between tenants.
That single capture also creates a rich data set that extends well beyond marketing. Each digital twin becomes a living record, unlocking insights and efficiencies that compound over time.
A digital twin captured via Little Hinges’ virtual tour, providing a complete record of the property for compliance, reporting, and operational use. The interactive key includes dollhouse view, floor plan, floor selector, and measurement tools.
Little Hinges, Australia’s largest provider of digital inspections, has partnered with GQS to produce fully compliant depreciation schedules directly from these digital twins. No extra visits. No delays. Everything required is already captured.
More than a time saver, this shift signals the direction of property management. The same data can also support energy efficiency ratings, insurance reports, valuations and more. Agencies already embracing this change are setting the benchmark for service, improving efficiency and building long-term value into their rent rolls.
Josh Callaghan, CEO of Little Hinges, explains: “Digitising your rent roll is not just about streamlining operations. It is a long-term investment that increases the transparency, consistency and value of every property in your portfolio. Agencies that act now are creating a clear advantage for their business and their investors.”
GQS agrees, highlighting that the partnership allows property managers and investors to confidently claim tax deductions without additional inspections. “By leveraging detailed property data captured digitally, we are removing barriers that once slowed operations and complicated compliance,” says Zac Gleeson, Managing Director of GQS.
Depreciation schedules are only the beginning. Energy ratings, insurance assessments, renovation planning and valuations are already in sight. As more properties are digitised, the advantages multiply, creating a future-ready rent roll that delivers both operational efficiency and investment value.
Agencies that embrace this approach are also improving the experience for tenants and investors. Digital records reduce the need for site visits, allow remote decision-making and provide a level of transparency that builds trust. In an increasingly competitive market, these benefits translate into faster onboarding, stronger retention and more confident investment decisions.
Little Hinges is not simply offering a service. It is enabling a broader shift across the industry. Agencies that digitise their rent rolls today are not only keeping up with the market, they are moving ahead of it. Capturing once and leveraging many times is changing how value is created, managed and communicated across portfolios.
For property managers and rent roll holders who have not yet adopted digital inspections, the message is clear. The tools to work smarter, reduce friction and add measurable value are already available. Those who move first are unlocking immediate efficiencies and setting the standard for the future of property management.
