San Francisco-based Structure Properties strives to be at the forefront of property management innovation and needed a software solution to match. We sat down with David Mehan, Structure Properties’ Chief Financial and Information Officer, to hear how AppFolio improved efficiency in all areas of their business by helping them gain control of their data, free up team bandwidth, and improve the owner experience.

Now that Structure Properties’ team members can quickly and easily access the data and information they need to answer owner questions in real-time, a more positive ripple effect has become clear in the form of visible business growth.
“In the past year and a half, Structure has grown by about 40%, and that's directly related to the fact that my senior exec team — my CEO, my Leasing Director, my Director of Business Development — doesn’t have to spend more time hunting down answers for owners. When we do have inquiries now, it's very easy. If an owner asks me a question, I can reply, ‘Let me pull up a report real quick,’ and I can answer them in real time, on the phone. That's huge.”
Structure Properties’ goal of finding a software solution to match their dedication to innovation was fully realized with the help of AppFolio’s modern, accessible-from-anywhere mobile tools.
“I can have a property manager be on the road, call me, and say, ‘Hey, a vendor said he hasn't gotten paid, and he's wondering what the status is of his check.’ I can look it up, see he needs to approve it, and then send him a link to the invoice within AppFolio. The vendor can get that link from the mobile app, approve it, and I can pay it. That's now a two minute deal. Before, he would've had to get back into the office, log into his software on a computer, approve the bill. With AppFolio, there's just efficiencies everywhere.”
