RealPage Selects Wallaroo Labs to Scale Machine Learning
NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2022 -- RealPage, an industry leader in SaaS-based Property Management Solutions, today announced that they have selected Wallaroo Labs as their applied AI platform. Using Wallaroo, RealPage will scale their AI and machine learning initiatives to over 1,000 regions for use cases such as marketing attribution, digital behavior insights for prospects and renters, and call lead scoring.
“We see AI and ML as critical for helping our clients maximize renter acquisition and retention throughout the buyer journey,” stated Kiley Borrevik, Director of Data Science at RealPage. “But our data scientists were spending more time on managing infrastructure for deployment than actually building models. And once we deployed these models, they had a hard time monitoring their models for drift as market conditions changed at the local level. This kept us from scaling from a dozen models to the 1,000s we wanted to deploy. Wallaroo resolves the deployment, scale, and observability issues so we can focus on solving the business problems with machine learning."
“When speaking to data science teams we keep hearing the same thing – data scientists want to be data scientists solving business problems using data and algorithms. But instead they often spend time managing clusters and infrastructure,” said Vid Jain, CEO & Founder at Wallaroo. “RealPage’s team was direct: make it simple, make it powerful, and make it transparent.”
One key criterion for RealPage was their desire to continue using their current data lake on AWS and Amazon SageMaker for model development. Wallaroo enables RealPage to operationalize these models into any cloud or on-prem environment, providing them with added flexibility to meet the specialized needs of their clients – which include commercial, multifamily, student, and military. Using Wallaroo they can now easily deploy and manage 1,000s of models, scaling the use of ML to their locations around the world, with full visibility into the ongoing performance of their models, all while saving over 60% on infrastructure costs without having to change the tools their data scientists use.
In addition to RealPage, Wallaroo is also working with several Fortune 500 and public sector enterprises to help them deploy and manage their machine learning models at scale, generating better performance and observability over their AI/ML initiatives.
