Challenge Overview

  • Needed to collect dues from owners in a timely and organized fashion
  • Sought a solution that would facilitate growth by keeping data and communications easily accessible. Required automated accounting and reports. Due to the voluntary nature of the board, they were looking for an easy-to-use solution to keep their financial information and communication in one efficient tool since they are managing the HOA after hours.

 

Solution

Woodland Meadows is utilizing the entire ManageCasa Base Plan for Community Associations as well as the Website add-on that allows owners to visit the website to access the owner portal. They are creating community announcements via the portal and sharing them on their website.

 

Key Outcome

By partnering with ManageCasa, Woodland Meadows of Gilberts was able to manage the operations of running a homeowners association in one easy system.

Before joining ManageCasa, Woodland was running all of its operations manually, including collecting owner dues, communicating with members, and running architectural reviews. By bringing all of these processes under one digital platform, they can now run their operations much more efficiently.

HOA dues are now paid and collected through the system. The board is able to communicate with all of their homeowners to update them about changes to rules or events. ManageCasa has allowed for the Meadows HOA to move from using labor-intensive, disparate systems to having everything they need in one easy-to-use system.
