AppFolio automation for property managers tired of moving data by hand.

AppFolio runs your leases, rent and work orders. The jobs around it are where the hours go: maintenance requests that need a vendor, leads that need an answer, owner reports that get assembled by hand. We connect AppFolio to the tools around it, through the integrations it supports and its reports and exports, so those jobs run on their own. The scope is written down and agreed before we start.

Sound familiar?

What property managers on AppFolio tell us before a project starts.

  • A maintenance request comes in and someone copies it into a second system for the vendor.
  • We run long-term rentals, short-term rentals and co-living, and the data lives in three places.
  • Leasing inquiries sit for hours because nobody is watching the inbox.
  • Owner reports are built in a spreadsheet at the end of every month.
  • We pay for a field service tool that does not talk to AppFolio.

What we build

Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done.

Work orders to the vendor

A new maintenance request is passed to the right vendor or field tool with the unit, the issue and the photos, and the status comes back to the person who asked.

API integrations and data sync

Two systems, one record

Properties, units and tenants kept consistent between AppFolio and the other tools you run, so nobody works from an old copy.

API integrations and data sync ETL and data pipelines

Leasing inquiries answered fast

Every inquiry gets a reply in minutes, a few questions about move-in date and budget, and a showing link, with the details in one list for the leasing agent.

CRM setup and lead pipelines Booking and scheduling systems

Owner reports

Monthly numbers pulled from your AppFolio reports into one report per owner, ready for you to check before it goes out.

Dashboards and reporting Python scripts and utilities

Tenant questions answered

A chatbot or assistant that answers the common questions about rent, parking and maintenance, and hands the rest to your staff.

Example projects

Illustrations of the shape of the work, not past clients. Yours gets its own written scope.

Example project

Maintenance request to field tool

Example: a property manager wants new AppFolio work orders to appear in the field service tool the maintenance crew uses, and wants the crew's completed status to show back on the original request.

Example project

Mixed-portfolio overview

Example: a company manages traditional rentals and co-living houses and wants occupancy and open work orders for both on one page, instead of one report per property type.

Showing requests

Example: a leasing team gets inquiries from listing sites and its own website. Each one gets an instant reply with a showing link, and the booked showing lands on the agent's calendar.

Email parsing, booking page, SMS

Questions people ask first

Can you connect directly to AppFolio?

That depends on your account and the integrations AppFolio offers to it. We check first. Where there is no direct route, we work from its reports and exports, and we say which in the scope.

Do we have to change property management software?

No. AppFolio stays where your records live. We connect the tools around it.

Can you work with a portfolio that is not all long-term rentals?

Yes. Short-term rentals and co-living often add the most manual work, and connecting them is a common reason people ask us.

How do we start?
