Property management tech stack audit

A tech stack audit is a plain map of every system you pay for, what each one is actually used for, and where work still falls between them.

The problem

What this actually costs you today

Most companies your size are paying for somewhere between six and fifteen systems. Some arrived with a staff member who has since left. Two of them do the same job. One is doing something important that nobody has documented.

The problem is rarely that you have the wrong software. It is that nobody has ever sat down and written out what you have, who uses it, and what happens in the space between one system ending and the next beginning.


How it works

What we build, step by step

  1. We inventory what you have

    Every subscription, what it costs, who uses it, what it is actually for as opposed to what it was bought for.

  2. We watch the work, not the software

    We follow a handful of real jobs end to end — a maintenance request, a turn, a month-end — and mark every point where a person moves something from one system to another.

  3. We mark the gaps and the overlaps

    The overlaps are money. The gaps are time and risk. Both are easier to argue about once they are on one page instead of in three people’s opinions.

  4. You get a plan you could hand to anyone

    What to keep, what to drop, what to connect, and in which order — sequenced by what returns the most for the least disruption. You keep it whether or not we do the work.


What changes

What changes for your team

  • You stop paying for software that two people remember signing up for.
  • The arguments about which system to use become one written answer.
  • You know where the manual handoffs are, which is the list everything else is built from.

No rip and replace

It runs on the software you already have.

Your property management software stays your system of record. Nothing here asks your team to log into somewhere new, and nothing here replaces the platform you already pay for.

Some platforms don’t open their API to most customers. That doesn’t block us. Almost everything we build runs off a report your software can already email out on a schedule.

Questions

What people ask about this

Will you tell us to replace our property management software?

Almost certainly not. Replacing it is expensive, disruptive, and rarely the actual problem. Where we do think it is worth it, we say so and show the working — but it is the rare recommendation, not the default one.

How long does an audit take?

A couple of weeks, most of which is us observing rather than your team sitting in meetings. We need a few hours of your operations person and a look at real work in progress.

Do we have to do the work with you afterwards?

No. The plan is yours either way, written so another team could pick it up. If you would rather hand it to your own people or a different firm, that is a fine outcome.
