Property managers using AppFolio/Yardi/Buildium still manually re-type data from PDFs and emails into their systems or spreadsheets, wasting time and introducing errors.

Existing property management software does not automatically extract and structure data from lease, invoice, and work order PDFs/emails, forcing manual data entry.
