So much so that the digitalized dormitories transform the accommodation needs of students into comfortable experiences. Berhan Akbulut, Product and Projects Manager of dormitory management software operating in Turkey, England, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Canada, South Africa and India, said that thanks to cloud-based software, dorm managers and employees can manage their work processes 7/24, regardless of time and place. stressed that he had the opportunity.
Akbulut stated that the digitalized dormitories save both time and money by performing transactions such as registration, payment, announcement, and permission in digital environment, adding, “With our cloud-based software, dormitory managers can perform transactions such as payment tracking, leave management, and room allocation online. Students can easily notify the business about a technical or administrative matter related to their room. He can follow his demands instantly.”
They store the data in the data park
Emphasizing that digitalization is also important in terms of data and document security, Akbulut said, “Dormitories may face the risk of losing the data they keep on paper from time to time. At this point, we eliminate this risk thanks to the cloud-based software we offer. We keep the data by backing it up periodically in licensed data parks and using a high-level encryption system. Thus, there is no need to turn to solutions that will cost additional expenses such as hardware or security software to protect data.”
Increases productivity with dormitory management software

This increases the satisfaction of both the company and the residents of the dormitory. Thanks to the special mobile application, each dormitory using our software can offer its students options such as payment tracking, failure notification and tracking, uploading documents, making appointments, receiving notifications about announcements, answering surveys, tracking cargo, and sending messages to the dormitory via WhatsApp.”
Reduces paper waste
Noting that digitalization is also important for sustainability, Akbulut concluded his words as follows: “Dormitory is one of the business types where paper consumption is high. However, in addition to the cost of paper consumption, it also causes serious damage to the environment. According to the report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), paperless business practices can reduce global carbon emissions by 26%.
