The Equity Group, a property management company established in 2002, was facing challenges in adjusting to the fast-paced technology trends in the market. They were managing a large portfolio of multifamily and single-family residential properties in the Central Valley of CA. Over the years, they had acquired several smaller property management companies, adding hundreds of units to their portfolio. However, their old property management software was not able to keep up with the rapid changes in the market. They found it difficult to adapt quickly without purchasing new, third-party systems to supplement their existing software. Additionally, they were spending nearly a third of their time on mid-month and month-end accounting close outs, which was a significant drain on their resources.
