| Traditional Approach |
|
Yardi Housing Software | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deployment & Access | Local desktop or on-prem servers; limited remote access, versioning issues. | Fully cloud-based; accessible anywhere; mobile-first; no IT overhead. | Cloud or on-prem; remote access supported but onboarding/setup heavier. |
| Resident & Lease Management | Manual tracking: spreadsheets, paper files; error-prone and slow. | Unified dashboard with all resident data, lease terms, renewals, unit assignments. | Robust lease and resident management for large, compliance-heavy portfolios. |
| Compliance, Inspections & Audits | Scattered compliance records; audits lengthy and unreliable. | Built-in workflows, digital inspections, compliance checklists, audit trails. | Strong compliance support; full audit history; designed for regulated housing. |
| Maintenance & Work Orders | Requests via phone/email; tracking in spreadsheets; high delays and low transparency. | Centralized work orders, vendor management, automation, resident updates. | Full maintenance module with vendor/invoice integration for large portfolios. |
| Accounting & Financial Management | Manual invoicing/bookkeeping; prone to errors. | Automated billing, payments, ledgers, financial tracking, and dashboards. | Advanced accounting; rent roll management; ideal for large organizations. |
| Scalability & Portfolio Size | Beyond a few dozen units, spreadsheets break; complexity grows exponentially. | Scales from small associations to multi-property portfolios without rework. | Built for large-scale housing associations with high unit volume. |
| Flexibility & Customization | Extremely limited; custom logic requires manual workarounds. | Configurable workflows, custom objects, role-based permissions; adapts to housing models. | Flexible but requires configuration time; best for standardized processes. |
| Cost & Overhead | Low licensing cost, high human labor cost; frequent errors and delays. | Subscription model with automation that removes manual admin work. | Higher licensing + implementation cost but extensive feature portfolio. |
| Reporting & Analytics | Ad-hoc reporting; manual data gathering; often outdated. | Real-time dashboards: occupancy, arrears, KPIs, financials, audit views. | Comprehensive reporting including compliance and subsidized housing metrics. |
