Tech Stack

In property management, tools matter.

Just as you wouldn’t expect a maintenance technician to do their job properly with broken equipment or outdated tools, the same logic applies to how a business is run.

Software is the toolkit of modern property management — and using the wrong tools quietly costs time, money, and performance.

Regularly reviewing your tech stack is no longer optional. It is essential.

Many property management businesses rely on systems that were never designed for today’s demands:

• Spreadsheets to track issues
• Email chains for updates
• WhatsApp messages to coordinate fixes
• Manual follow-ups to chase progress

Each of these may work in isolation, but together they create friction.

The cost isn’t always obvious — but it adds up:

• Hours lost to admin each week
• Issues missed or duplicated
• Slower response times
• Inconsistent guest experiences
• Staff spending time acting as messengers

These inefficiencies quietly erode profit.

Think about maintenance staff for a moment.

A technician using modern tools can:

• Diagnose problems faster
• Complete work more efficiently
• Reduce repeat call-outs
• Deliver higher-quality results

The same technician using outdated tools works harder for worse outcomes.
Software works exactly the same way for your business.

If your team is relying on outdated systems, they are doing skilled work with inefficient tools — and that costs far more than the software itself.

Using the right technology isn’t about convenience — it’s about financial performance.

When issue management and communication are streamlined:

• Problems are resolved faster
• Repeat issues are reduced
• Guest satisfaction improves
• Reviews improve
• Staff productivity increases

The cumulative effect can easily be worth thousands each year, especially across multiple properties.

Get Absolutely replaces fragmented communication and manual tracking with one clear system — allowing businesses to operate efficiently without increasing headcount.

One of the biggest misconceptions about technology is that it replaces people.

In reality, the opposite is true.

Good software removes low-value tasks:

• Chasing messages
• Copying updates
• Manually tracking jobs
• Acting as intermediaries

This frees staff to focus on what actually needs human input:

• Guest experience
• Quality control
• Inspections
• Relationship management
• Strategic growth

Technology handles the admin. People handle the judgement.

Busy periods expose inefficiency but leave no time to fix it.

Quiet periods provide the space to step back and improve.

Reviewing your tech stack during slower months allows you to:

• Identify what tools are no longer fit for purpose
• Introduce better systems without disruption
• Train teams calmly
• Be fully prepared before demand returns

By the time peak season arrives, the benefits are already built in.

Using the best tools for the job isn’t a luxury — it’s a responsibility.

Outdated software doesn’t just slow teams down. It quietly drains profit and wastes talent.

Reviewing your tech stack and upgrading where necessary is one of the simplest ways to improve performance, protect margins, and let your staff do the work they were hired to do.

Get Absolutely exists to be one of those tools — helping property managers run smarter, calmer, and more profitable operations.
