Critical for MCSTs

Data Continuity When Your Managing Agent Changes

The #1 hidden risk for MCSTs

What happens when your property management company contract ends?

  • Maintenance records often stored in MA's own systems - not transferred completely
  • Asset service histories lost, leading to repeated work or missed maintenance
  • Warranty information missing, costing thousands in repairs that should be covered
  • Contractor relationships and pricing history not documented for new MA
  • Outstanding work orders and resident feedback lost in transition
  • New MA starts from zero, repeating past mistakes

With Infodeck, your MCST owns the data

  • All maintenance records, asset histories, and work orders belong to your MCST
  • Seamless handover: New MA simply logs into existing Infodeck account
  • 100% continuity of asset service history, warranty tracking, and maintenance schedules
  • Complete audit trail for AGM reporting and regulatory compliance
  • Contractor performance data retained for informed decision-making
  • No re-entering of data, no lost information, no starting over

Ensure your MCST's maintenance data survives every management transition
