What the spreadsheet cannot see
| The way it works today | The way it works on AryaPM |
|---|---|
| Amenity and move fees collected into a pooled account and remitted by hand | Direct payments into the strata's own bank account; zero commingling, zero remittance runs |
| Open ticket list; technicians pick the jobs they like | Named daily boards per technician; reopened work flagged with a recall rate |
| Vendor invoices taken on faith | Site check-in and check-out per visit; scorecards with verified hours |
| Reserve line items from formulas and folklore | Asset register with verified conditions; costs empty until a real quote lands |
| Notices sent from a template to a stale list | Every letter previewed exactly; directory reconciled against move records |
| Bylaw complaints in a manager's sent folder | BV-numbered files with the s.135 ladder enforced and every date stamped |
| Minutes written from memory a week later | Minutes drafted from the period's real decisions and activity |
What it costs
- Unverified trade hours: on a $60,000 annual trade budget, a 5–10% gap is $3,000–$6,000 a year gone.
- Trust exposure: fees that touch the wrong account create liabilities under the Real Estate Services Act that auditors find later.
- Rework: reopened jobs billed twice because nobody could see they were reopened.
- Privacy incidents: one notice sent to a previous owner's address costs more than a year of software.
- Volunteer time: the treasurer's worst week every month, and everything stops when that person goes on vacation.
At $2.00 per door per month with a $150 minimum, a 100-unit building pays $200 a month — less than the rounding error on one trade invoice.
Keeping what works
Nobody should mock the spreadsheet; the person who built it is in the room. AryaPM imports it. Units, residents, vehicles, assets and history come in during onboarding, the directory is reconciled against move records, and the volunteer who kept it all running becomes the person who finally gets to read a report instead of building one.
Frequently asked questions
Can a self-managed strata with no manager use AryaPM?
Yes. Community pricing is designed for self-managed councils; the office desks are simple enough for a treasurer and a caretaker.
How long does it take to move off the spreadsheet?
Days for a single building with a reasonable directory. Onboarding is waived for 2026 Founding Communities.
What if we only want some modules?
Every module is included; enable what the building needs. There is no per-module price.
