RealPage to Improve Marketing Services with LeaseLabs Buyout

Read MoreHide Full Article

RealPage recently completed its previously announced acquisition of LeaseLabs, a provider of marketing services.

With this, RealPage, a provider of property management software and data analytics solutions, completed its sixth acquisition since January 2017. Previously, the company had acquired companies like Axiometrics, American Utility Management, On-Site Manager and ClickPay among others.

The addition of LeaseLabs is expected to enhance RealPage’s marketing services segment with marketing analytic services and direct marketing services among others. RealPage is planning to launch a service called “Go Direct Marketing Suite” with the combination of the marketing services of both the companies.

Notably, the talent pool of LeaseLabs will be absorbed by RealPage, which is particularly optimistic about the combined marketing and advertising solutions that are in the cards.

We believe that this deal will boost the company’s top line going ahead.
