STRATA for HOA and community management firms. The five operating gaps that cost management companies recoverable revenue every month.

Platforms at v1: AppFolio, Buildium, CINC Systems, TOPS One, Vantaca

The operating gaps

Named in operator language. One paragraph each.

  1. 01

    Resident communication follow-up that was on the plan

    Violation notices, ARC submissions, and resident inquiries depend on multi-touch sequences inconsistently executed across communities. Resident churn and board frustration follow. Follow-Up Automation installs the cadence.

  2. 02

    Violation documentation across photographic and written evidence

    Each violation cycle generates photos, notices, board approvals, and ledger entries. The community manager assembles by hand. Document Processing pre-stages the packets and writes structured data into the community-management system.

  3. 03

    AR aging on assessments and special-assessment cycles

    Past-due assessment chase is inconsistent across communities. Cash flow lags and board meetings turn into collection reviews. Revenue Recovery against AR produces collectible recovery without changing the legal process.

  4. 04

    Inbound resident inquiries that go unanswered after hours

    Saturday-morning maintenance request, holiday-week ARC question. The portal sits idle and the resident calls the board chair. Speed-to-Lead routing closes the gap.

  5. 05

    Board reporting compiled by hand for monthly meetings

    Financials, delinquency, open work orders, ARC pipeline, and violation status are stitched at month end across the community-management system, accounting, and email. Internal Reporting consolidates.

The Revenue Audit

Know your specific number before you commit to anything.

The Revenue Audit for HOA and community management firms is a fifteen-minute working session against a community-management export and a recent month of resident-inquiry data. We calculate recoverable revenue across AR collections, violation processing cycle time, and resident-inquiry response time. The retainer is sized against the figure. Honest no on the call if the figure does not justify.

  1. A specific dollar figure of recoverable revenue, calculated against your own data.
  2. A vertical-specific gap diagnosis named in operator language, not marketing language.
  3. A reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.
  4. A retainer sized against the figure, or an honest no on the call.

Insurance, HVAC, and dental are our installation wedges at v1. We accept Revenue Audits in hoa and community management and run them against the same diagnostic; the engagement timeline is set during the call.

Stack recommendation for HOA and Community Management

Layered in the order that produces the visible ROI event first.

  1. Layer 1

    Revenue Recovery

    AR-aging recovery against assessment and special-assessment balances is the fastest operational lift.

  2. Layer 1

    Speed-to-Lead

    Inbound resident-inquiry response pairs with Revenue Recovery.

  3. Layer 2

    Document Processing

    Violation packets, ARC submissions, and vendor invoices create portfolio depth.

  4. Layer 3

    Follow-Up Automation

    Violation cadence, ARC follow-up, and assessment reminders install on top of the platform.

  5. Layer 3

    Internal Reporting

    Cross-community AR, violations, ARC pipeline, and board-ready financials in one weekly view.

Proof

Across the audits the firm has run, the typical recoverable figure on a $1M to $5M book is $30,000 to $90,000 per year. Your figure is specific to your book.

STRATA is quiet about engagements in flight.

References are matched to your vertical and available on the audit call. Case studies are published when the customer is ready to be named. What we can tell you: the audit call will include a reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.

Operational questions

What operators ask before the audit call.

What community-management platforms does STRATA integrate with at v1?+
AppFolio, Buildium, CINC Systems, TOPS One, and Vantaca are supported at v1. Ask on the audit call about your specific platform.
Does this work for a 40-community management firm?+
Layer 1 is meaningful at twenty or more communities under management. Larger portfolios get cross-community reporting that pays off faster.
Will community managers need to learn a new system?+
No. The integration sits between the platform and the inbound channels. Managers continue in the community-management system.
How is resident PII handled?+
Engagement under DPA; audit exports PII-minimized; production processing follows your platform security posture.
What does the prospect bring to the audit call?+
A community-management export covering AR, violations, and ARC; a recent month of resident-inquiry data; and a sample violation packet. Fifteen minutes is enough.

How the engagement is governed

Three structural promises. All on the record.

The Honest No

If the Revenue Audit shows the recoverable revenue does not justify the retainer, the firm says so on the audit call. STRATA is not the right fit for every business in a vertical, and we name that directly.

The Pause Clause

If the recovered revenue does not exceed the monthly retainer within the first 60 days of deployment, the engagement pauses until the gap is closed.

Month-to-month

The first 90 days of any STRATA engagement is month-to-month. Long-term commitments are earned by operational performance, not signatures.

STRATA for HOA and Community Management

Your recoverable revenue is a specific number.

The Revenue Audit calculates it from your hoa and community management data in fifteen minutes.

The Pause Clause stands. The Honest No is on the audit call. The first 90 days is month-to-month.
