Why Switching from Old Solutions to ManageCasa Makes Good Sense

5 min readMar 4, 2022

Property managers are on the hunt for simpler and scalable solutions with the right feature set to improve their business performance.

There are short term pressures and there are also looming threats that many have avoided thinking about. But years have passed and those decisions are now on their desk. Your ability to visualize the future and get your property management firm positioned to solve the challenges just ahead is key to survival and profitability.

The key questions are, where is the industry headed and how will you best carve out your niche?

The Greatest Ever

A hockey analogy might work well here. Wayne Gretzky scored the most goals in NHL history, and his message was simple — be where the puck is going. While other hockey players were grinding it out in battles, he viewed things entirely differently. He became the greatest ever, by knowing a principle that business owners should respect too.

The open space where property management companies are headed toward is to new client opportunities, new services, new technology and efficiency. Cutting costs is one thing, but being able to scale up to manage a lucrative portfolio of rental properties has to be earned. Owners will see your advantage if you’re using the right software technology.

Bloated and Outdated

Popular software that’s been around for a while is bloated, uses old architecture and can’t be upgraded easily or maintained. More of the customer’s subscription fee goes into repairing leaks and breakdowns. Sound familiar?

Yet the concept of modernization is over-used, kind of general and short term in nature. You need more than modernization. Where the puck is going is where the old software companies can’t go — to a modular platform, that leverage the efficiencies, security, data access and flexibility of cloud architecture and services.

Flexibility and user friendliness are the future, and that has to built from the ground up. Which is why the new systems have an unbeatable advantage.

It’s a Whole New Game

In an era of rising complexity, regulations, expectations, and costs, those legacy solution’s strengths actually become liabilities. Software has to do more than maintain what it has. It has to actually solve new issues of labor cost and service fees, data security, mobile access, regulations, rising tenant demands, staff utilization and empowerment, and scaling up with new services.

The future of property management is in services, efficiently delivered.

Where is the puck going? It’s going to companies that can offer exceptional services to create the highest profit margin possible. That’s what owners want.

Software Built for a Disappearing Market

Legacy solutions seem to revel in and celebrate the details and complexity whereas new cloud-based, efficiency creating solutions want to eliminate that work entirely. It’s a good thing too, because property managers want to move on from hard work and friction. Like the Covid pandemic, they’re done with that.

If you plan to launch one of the 100,000 new property management companies that will arrive in the next few years, you can create a sizable edge to grow your accounts rapidly. Owers will understand your value proposition. And ManageCasa will provide the foundation for sudden success. It will happen, because the old solutions are on their last legs.

We’re not trying to be hurtful of the current property management software market leaders, only helpful in opening eyes to the rental business of the future. Times change, and new companies arrive with better business models.

Key Challenges Resolved with a New System:

good staff and budget management
optimal work efficiency and redeployment of human resources
streamlined work task automation — getting past administration
profitability and evolving service models
excellent tenant experiences and less friction
staff comfort and professional growth
business intelligence and brand communication

Cloud-based automation and service expansion solves multiple business needs. New owners, new properties, better properties with more revenue upside ensures your business can survive this next 5 years.

HOA managers in particular, given understaffing, rising community memberships and service coverage are most in need of automation (i.e., HOA violation tracking and resident communications which eats up time).

From HOA’s to mixed property portfolio’s we believe ManageCasa is the ideal way to go where the puck is headed. Score an easy win with an outstanding cloud based property management solution.

Proactive Management: Eliminating the Source

Anticipated growth in clients, doors, tenant expectations, digital services, taxation, costs, regulations, and more are going to put an additional load on your staff. This pressure has to be a concern.

ManageCasa automates work processes, and eliminates the source of that work. It could mean one fewer staff or one deployed to more productive, profit-generating work. How good does having more time and money feel?

Our clients manage thousands of properties and they like it a lot.

If you don’t have time or skills to introduce new revenue-generating services, then the time saving, streamlining of ManageCasa’s simplified property management software will allow you to redeploy staff to more productive work (and more interesting work for them).
