Community managers, front desk, and maintenance staff handle many moving parts every day. With residents expecting quicker responses, easy access to booking amenities, and greater transparency, investing in technology builds confidence that your association is prioritizing resident convenience.
Here are five technology tools condo associations are adopting to help communities run smoothly in 2026.
Residents are extremely tech-savvy. While some may trek to the front desk to reserve an amenity or check on the status of a package, most residents want to handle everything from their phone. According to a study by Park Associates, 66% of condo owners prefer using a resident mobile app or web portal for communication.
BuildingLink’s mobile app lets residents do just that. Requests, notifications, and amenity bookings happen instantly, and staff can track them all without sending multiple emails or manual paperwork. This kind of convenience elevates the resident experience.
Property managers are the overseers of your building. They have eyes on everything, from building access systems to package management, move-ins/outs, maintenance requests, and more. If they are jumping between different tools to get their jobs done, this is not only inconvenient, it’s inefficient.
BuildingLink integrates with dozens of property management systems, allowing managers to see what’s happening across their community from one place. Alerts are received in real time, activity is easy to monitor, and unique challenges are addressed with ease to enhance staff operations and the resident experience.
Governing your community effectively depends on the reliability of your data. If your board relies on spreadsheets, email threads, and manual processes, planning for the future is not only tedious but lacks confidence. The ability to easily see maintenance trends, amenity usage, and management reports transforms your board into a smooth-running unit.
Dashboards and reports in BuildingLink give you one clear view of your building operations. Boards can see patterns, plan for the future, and have productive meetings without digging through spreadsheets or piles of paperwork. When data is this accessible, everyone can make smarter choices.
Logging packages, routing work orders, and checking in visitors are all essential, but when done manually through spreadsheets, these tasks can feel never-ending. BuildingLink’s Concierge Desk & Front Office solutions help free up time so on-site staff can focus on the human side of their job instead of being overwhelmed by repetitive tasks.
Keeping track of policies, insurance documents, vendor contracts, and resident notices can be disorganized, especially when relying on paper files or multiple spreadsheets. Having records and documents readily accessible makes for smoother operations, easier adherence to compliance, and frees up your staff’s time.
BuildingLink’s document library stores all records in one searchable location, so onsite staff and boards can find what they need in just a few clicks. Day-to-day operations become smoother when the information you need is right at your fingertips.
Running a condo community today is complex, but the right technology makes it easier. BuildingLink’s mobile app, smart integrations, dashboards, automation, and digital records keep your community running smoothly. Residents get the convenience they expect, staff gain clarity, and boards get the insights they need to make smart, confident decisions.
