Property ManagementSoftware Bug/Performance3MediumProperty Manager

A property manager cannot search for properties, residents, or units because AppFolio's Universal Search is not returning results, and they need a temporary workaround until the vendor fixes the issue.

The search feature is broken, causing significant time waste, and no workaround is available; users are waiting for the vendor to fix it.

App Concept

SearchFallback for AppFolio

A browser extension or companion app that provides a temporary alternative search interface for AppFolio data during outages, allowing property managers to continue looking up properties, residents, and units using exported data or direct API calls even when the native search fails.

Key Features

Automatic fallback to recent data export when API is unavailable
Local indexing of previously viewed records for offline search
Integration with AppFolio's API for real-time queries when available
Browser extension that overlays on AppFolio interface

Target Users: Property managers and leasing staff using AppFolio who need uninterrupted search access during software outages

Revenue Model: $10/month per user SaaS subscription with a free tier limited to basic searches
