The worst case for a building manager is paying for software you end up not using. Before you choose, check:
- Will residents actually use it? The best panel is useless if residents don't install the app. It has to be simple and worth downloading.
- Is dues collection online? Dues collected by hand are dues collected late. Online payment and automatic reminders are a must.
- Is there fault/request tracking? The one thing that ends the "but I told you" argument is a request log.
- Where do documents live? Contracts, meeting minutes, invoices — one archive, not the manager's phone.
- Is data security taken seriously? You're collecting dues and personal data. KVKK compliance, retention, and permissions are non-negotiable.
- What happens when the manager changes? Is the data yours or the software's? Everything must be transferable.
- Is support a real human? Someone you can reach when something breaks is worth more than a long feature list.
We built the product for this — it's called Apmatik. But the goal isn't to sell you on it; it's to help you ask the right questions and decide for yourself. If you're curious, our door (and our coffee) is open.
