Good morning everyone! On the hunt for a new Procurement and accounting software! We use yardi voyager 7s(soon yardi8). We currently use Avid Exchange for Accounting and recently ended Yardi Marketplace. Any leads you can offer would be amazing!

Appfolio is a great completely integrated platform worth investigating!

Absolutely AppFolio! It’s the easiest out of all of them to learn and has everything for leasing rolled into one. Text functioning, direct emailing, etc. They’re reporting isn’t quite as in depth as Yardi, but still has everything you need.

We use Coupa. Personally I really love it, plus vendors have the Coupa Supplier Portal where they can go to manage their own invoices so it can cut back a lot on your work, and it really is very simple to use.

Rent Ready has automated scheduling and a quality controlled vendor network - you can also bring your own vendors.
Their integration is free and as soon as you put a unit on notice vendors are scheduled right away. Billing is easy and most of the support staff came from property management so they are easy to work with.

So are you not using any of Yardi’s accounting functions or additional products like P2P (payables and invoice management as well as bill payment), AR manager, Payments Manager?

Isnt avid exchange for payables ? You’re saying you’re using it for accounting? Isn’t it just payables ?

Can I ask why you stopped Marketplace? I'm looking at this now.

there is not a mobile app which caused a rift in buyin from the users up front. You cannot make custom purchase lists on a mobile browser, which caused some frustration beings that our maintenance professionals were the ones who would have benefited the most because of it. The price comparables for the catalogs that we had were higher than your typical Amazon listing which ended up having the guys order outside of marketplace. Home Depot and other vendors required you to get a credit card for every single property, and their credit card application and paperwork was extremely tedious for the team. You personally cannot manage or administer the platform for users, you always have to send requests to yardi to add/remove/ move users to other properties.
Just overall it wasn’t a good fit, even though I really wanted it to be! In the end I have to be considerate of how it affects the users.
