Common Spreadsheet Problems

Every landlord who has used spreadsheets knows these pain points all too well.

Hours of Manual Entry

Every rent payment, expense, and update requires manual typing. One mistake cascades through your entire spreadsheet.

ManagementHub Solution

Automated reminders 60, 30, and 7 days before any certificate expires. Never miss a deadline again.

Data Security Risks

Spreadsheets shared via email or Dropbox are easily lost, corrupted, or accessed by the wrong people.

ManagementHub Solution

Bank-grade encryption, automatic backups, and role-based access control keep your data secure.

By the time you update your spreadsheet, the data is already stale. No visibility into portfolio performance.
