I wish this was a thing back in 2012 when I was the technical co-founder of Rentlytics! We built our own integrations and it was terrible working with these systems. The docs were non existent and APIs limited in their capabilities to further vendor lock in.

What systems do you support? I couldn't find a list anywhere.

Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately your story is a common one - not much has changed with these APIs since 2012... or since 1999 for that matter.

Our current integrations include Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, Propertyware, Buildium, Rent Manager and Rentvine. On the roadmap are Appfolio, MRI and ResMan.

Necessary disclaimer: we only support integrations for customers who have officially sanctioned relationships with each PMS. We do not do anything that violates ToS (e.g. scraping, chrome extensions, etc.).

Ah, I went to your "How it Works".. didn't see Yardi, RealPage, or MRI and almost dismissed this product entirely!

Recommend updating that screenshot!

Now I'm interested.. will submit work email. I'm head of product at RealINSIGHT

From my memory some of the big players require api license fees in the thousands per api. It was my understanding that these are to be paid by every implementor using their docs. How are you guys getting API access to build? Is this not really as common anymore?

[kole78]

Some of the systems remain pay-to-play for sure. We have adopted the consultant model where we are implementing our solution on behalf of our customers. This is why we require our customers to have their own relationship with each PMS. Their credentials are used to access each API. I sent a connect request to you on LI - happy to chat in more detail!

I read this as "Rently Ticks". Not a great name!
