When we launched EZOS, the mission was simple: make student housing Turn season more manageable, more transparent, and more efficient. But since then, we've seen operators across real estate put EZOS to use far beyond Turn. What started as a Turn management platform has evolved into a full-scale operational command center.
EZOS has become the project management layer for real estate teams who need clarity, speed, and accountability across high-volume, high-stakes work. Here are four of the most common project types being run in EZOS today:
1. Student Housing TurnThis is where it all began. Turn season in student housing is a 60-to-90-day sprint where every bed must be inspected, cleaned, repaired, and prepped for move-in.
EZOS centralizes the chaos:
Work orders are automatically scheduled based on inspections and vendor availability
Damage collections and FMOs are processed in one place
Property managers and vendors work from a single source of truth
Whether it’s a 100-bed property or a 3,000-bed portfolio, EZOS helps operators run Turn cleanly, confidently, and on schedule.
2. Renovation ProjectsMore and more multifamily and student housing teams are using EZOS to manage unit renovations, from kitchen upgrades to full-gut rehabs.
Why?
Every unit has a timeline, a budget, and a vendor team
Tasks are complex, interdependent, and schedule-driven
Mistakes are costly and delays are painful
EZOS makes it easy to:
Assign tasks to vendors
Track status by unit or floor
Monitor cost data alongside progress
Communicate updates to regional and onsite teams
In short, it brings project management discipline to work that’s often run through email chains and spreadsheets.
3. Furniture & Inventory InstallationsOperators have started using EZOS to coordinate large-scale furniture installs and FF&E projects, particularly around new developments and capex cycles.
The challenge:
Vendors are moving across multiple units and sites
Deliveries are staggered
Install teams need real-time access to unit-level assignments
EZOS supports these workflows with:
Barcode-level inventory management
Visual confirmation of delivery/install by unit
Centralized vendor dispatching
Time-stamped progress tracking
Whether it’s beds, desks, or kitchen packages, operators are using EZOS to reduce install friction and improve accountability.
4. Managing Remote Projects as a VendorNot every EZOS user is a property. Many are vendors managing national or regional service teams across scattered geographies.
EZOS allows vendor teams to:
See their full work schedule across all clients
Assign local crews with clarity
Track job status and field inputs in real time
Upload proof-of-work for faster payment reconciliation
For vendors, EZOS functions like a mobile-first ops HQ. It reduces callbacks, improves field performance, and accelerates cash flow.
The Bottom Line: EZOS isn’t just a Turn tool. It’s a flexible, battle-tested operations system that real estate teams are using for all kinds of projects. From high-stakes Turn season to everyday renovations, installs, and remote jobs, EZOS is powering the operational backbone of some of the best teams in real estate.
