New capability provides unmatched insight into the impact of screening criteria on eviction rates, approval times, and portfolio performance

Findigs, the industry’s smartest tenant screening platform, today announced the launch of their Policy Optimization Engine, a powerful new rules engine that gives rental operators the ability to define their entire screening workflow across their portfolio, and see how this screening criteria influences outcomes like occupancy, delinquency, and decision time.

Findigs is the only truly end-to-end tenant screening solution on the market: collecting applications, verifying documents, decisioning applicants, and providing audit trails in one fully automated platform. This comprehensive workflow enables property operators to centralize screening, apply consistent business rules to screening portfolio-wide, and optimize these to improve asset performance and NOI.

“We found that many operators fly somewhat blind when setting their tenant acceptance criteria. For example, we always ask the question, 'how did you decide on the minimum rent-to-income ratio?' and often, it's admittedly an imperfect science,” said Steve Carroll, CEO of Findigs. “So, a lot of focus ends up getting paid to what the right credit score thresholds are, but we set out to give an all-up view of the dozen or so things that impact a leasing decision.”

With Policy Optimization Engine, leasing and operations teams can:

• Define screening policies portfolio-wide.
• Visualize how criteria affect approvals, evictions, and time-to-lease.
• Benchmark performance across assets, teams, or markets.
• Identify overly restrictive or risky criteria.
• Simulate adjustments to model impact on key metrics.

This level of insight is designed to empower centralized leasing teams, revenue managers, and compliance leaders to continuously refine their policies by balancing risk mitigation with occupancy and NOI goals.

"Our Findigs partnership has empowered our onsite teams to be more effective, responsive, and confident in their leasing decisions.” said Marlee Murdock, Vice President Performance (Operations) at Western Wealth Communities. “We’ve elevated both speed and quality in our screening process and our teams absolutely appreciate the reduced friction. This wasn’t just a technology upgrade, it was a turning point for how we change and adopt in the evolving business landscape. Findigs didn’t just meet us where we were; they brought us forward for a more sustainable underwriting process and ultimately a better business."

Policy Optimization Engine is now available to all Findigs platform customers. For more information or to schedule a live demo, visit www.findigs.com.
