Property management software is expanding beyond leasing and rent collection as rental housing operators seek to connect insurance compliance, vendor management and resident services. For proptech startups, the opportunity lies in replacing fragmented tools with systems that help property managers coordinate operations and manage risk across their portfolios.

The Real Estate Technology & Transformation Center (RETTC) will host OPTECH 2026 from November 16–18 in Las Vegas, bringing together rental housing operators, technology providers and industry leaders to discuss developments in artificial intelligence, automation, cybersecurity, data management and property operations.

The event comes as real estate companies evaluate how to integrate new technologies into existing workflows. While specialized software can address individual needs, disconnected platforms can leave property managers managing separate processes for insurance verification, vendor documentation and compliance. Connecting these functions has become an important area of development for proptech companies.

Get Covered, an insurance technology company serving the property insurance sector, is working at this intersection through software designed to simplify policy management, compliance and customer experience. Its clients include insurance carriers, agencies, property managers, landlords and membership associations.

Brandon Tobman, CEO of Get Covered, will attend OPTECH 2026 as industry leaders examine how technology can improve rental housing operations. In June 2026, Get Covered acquired Revyse, an AI-powered vendor intelligence and compliance platform, extending its capabilities beyond insurance administration into vendor compliance and contract management.

The transaction reflects a broader shift toward integrated proptech platforms that connect operational processes rather than addressing each challenge through a separate application. For property managers, the objective is to reduce administrative complexity while maintaining visibility into insurance requirements, vendor records and other sources of operational risk.

OPTECH 2026 will provide a forum for examining these priorities alongside the wider adoption of AI and automation in rental housing. As property operators continue investing in digital infrastructure, the ability to integrate systems and demonstrate practical operational value is likely to remain a central consideration for technology providers.
