Evaluating Vendors: A Scorecard for Property Management Platforms
Weights that prevent demos from masking gaps in accounting, maintenance, and integrations.
Topic seed: How do I choose property management software for my rental?
Vendor selection fails when teams optimize for features lists instead of outcomes. Use a weighted scorecard across operational resilience (uptime, audit trails), accounting integrity (trust accounting vs simplified cash books), and ecosystem depth (payments, accounting exports, smart locks).
Scorecard categories
- Tenant lifecycle: applications, screening hooks, lease templates, renewals.
- Maintenance: SLA tracking, vendor portals, resident communications.
- Financial controls: late fees, partial payments, owner statements.
- Security posture: roles, logs, and least-privilege patterns.
Capricon recommends grading vendors with live scenarios: a noisy maintenance week, a renewal cycle, and a tax-season reporting drill.
