AppFolio, Inc. announced AppFolio Stack™, an integration marketplace, enabling AppFolio Property Manager users to seamlessly provide the specialized solutions users need to manage complex portfolios and run their entire business from a centralized hub. Initial partnerships with top PropTech solution providers in their respective fields include ButterflyMX, Conservice, HappyCo, Knock, Lowe's, and Property Meld. AppFolio Stack resolves the integration challenges previously unaddressed by legacy real estate solutions, empowering property managers of all sizes to boost productivity, simplify workflows and improve resident experiences.

Within the real estate industry, there is a growing trend for property managers to centralize their workflows to one platform - in fact, 55% of large property management organizations anticipate increasing their use of point solutions in the next few years. However, according to the National Multifamily Housing Council, integrating these solutions into property management systems remains a top challenge. AppFolio Stack solves these challenges by offering certified, proven integrations based on close collaboration and partnership with innovative point solution providers.

The result combines AppFolio Property Manager's ease of use and functionality as a single system of record with highly specialized functionality, giving property managers the tools to meet the needs of any portfolio without compromising on usability. AppFolio developed its partnerships with close collaboration throughout the integration certification process, ensuring easy onboarding and a seamless user experience.
