HOA vendor management & approved directories

Official vendor lists for residents.

HOA vendor management without custom software builds. Publish approved landscapers, painters, and pool pros — link-only for resident portals or public Discover visibility.

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

  • Resident recommendations contradict HOA guidance
  • Vendor PDFs emailed annually and instantly outdated
  • No process for vendors to apply for approval
  • Board changes mean lost vendor knowledge
