The company's properties were managed by different third-party companies, each using a different property management software. This lack of uniformity made it difficult to provide consistent metrics and manage properties effectively across different states. The company's leadership, Mike Schmansky and Danielle Miner, realized that the biggest challenge was the lack of a unified software platform for property management.

Velo Residential, a property management company based in Dallas-Fort Worth Metro, was facing a significant challenge in managing its over 800 residential units. The company's CEO, JC Castillo, recognized the importance of creating strong, meaningful relationships for success in the property management business.
