From 11 spreadsheets to one property-ops platform.
THE PROBLEM
The client had managed residential properties for 14 years and tracked everything across 11 separate spreadsheets — maintenance requests, lease renewals, tenant communications, and contractor schedules. Every Monday morning began with two hours of reconciliation. Staff turnover meant institutional knowledge walked out the door.
WHAT WE BUILT
We ran a two-week Founder Discovery phase to map every workflow. The Blueprint defined four core modules: tenant management, maintenance ticketing, contractor dispatch, and a renewal pipeline. The MVP Sprint delivered a working web app in six weeks — role-based access for the owner, two property managers, and contractors, with a mobile-friendly maintenance request portal for tenants.
THE RESULT
Within three months of launch the team had eliminated all 11 spreadsheets. Admin time per property dropped by 38%. The owner has since licensed the product to two other property management firms.
“I'd been living with the spreadsheet chaos for so long I thought it was just part of the job. Turns out it was just an unsolved software problem.”
