Currently managing 40 beds across 2 cities in Sweden, 20-30 faced challenges in efficiently managing their properties and tenants. With their plans for expansion and a small but motivated team managing the properties and customers, 20-30 quickly realised time and resources are very precious.
“We really needed something that would make the tenant experience smoother, while not taking the fun out of it”.
Confronting the coliving challenges For Divya Kasarabada, 20-30’s Community Manager, her daily tasks before introducing Obeyo were filled with juggling between multiple communication platforms such as Slack and Whatsapp to answer the questions of customers. This decentralised way of working made it hard to keep track of issues, tickets, and communication with tenants. Divya: “When one person needs to handle everything from different channels, it gets hard to decide where to focus on and tickets get lost.”
“First, we would be in contact with our customers through email and Slack, this is too formal. Communicating with our residents should be in a friendly tone. We really needed something that would make the tenant experience smoother, while not taking the fun out of it. “

Creating a streamlined and fun tenant experience As 20-30 was on a quest to enhance the experience for their tenants, they saw a match with Obeyo. Obeyo brings all communication channels back to 1: the Obeyo app .
For residents, this means clarity. All communication happens in a single digital touchpoint: the Obeyo app. Residents are automatically onboarded into the app when signing up and can access all important information in the app. Also, residents feel like they are part of the community. 20-30 wanted to create a light, personal atmosphere, which they found in Obeyo. From welcoming residents, and easily creating events to birthday reminders. They are in place to create a personal environment and enhance the tenant experience. “These things do make a difference when it comes to the experience and human connection”, Divya mentions.
Embracing the future with 20-30 and Obeyo Currently, 20-30 is gradually rolling out Obeyo into their properties. Embracing this change has been a learning curve. Adapting to new ways of communication meant breaking away from the chaotic norm that had become second nature. “Now, when I need to convey something, I think in terms of Obeyo. Can I draft an announcement, or should I include it in the Knowledge Base? Is there a manual that I can add? It has now become a part of my daily routine," shares Divya.
During the implementation process, Obeyo is there to monitor the implementation and address any challenge that may arise during the process. In this way, 20-30 is ready to embark on a journey of revolutionizing their tenant experience.
Currently, 20-30 is preparing the launch of Obeyo for four locations in Stockholm. Luckily, community switching is fully supported with Obeyo. This will play a key role for multi-city and multi-location operations, which 20-30 can greatly benefit from.
“With Obeyo, you are in safe hands. If you have trouble managing your community this is a great solution.”
