Most strata software digitises manual processes. StrataPort eliminates them. Here's what that means when you're managing thousands of lots and can't afford a system that needs babysitting.
The Australian strata software market has converged on a handful of architectural patterns. Each makes a different trade-off between automation depth, operational risk, and scalability.
Leads with AI-powered communication, invoice digitisation, and generative tools. Modern interface. Cloud-native. Rapid feature releases.
Cloud platform spanning strata, facilities management, and utilities across multiple countries. Strong automation and banking integration. Broad capability but not deep in any single market.
Backed by major financial and data institutions. Strong mobile design and banking integration. Platform modernisation program in progress.
Generational market leader managing a substantial national portfolio. Deep trust accounting, integrated voting and meeting tools. Enterprise-grade but carries legacy architecture.
Continuously developed in deep partnership with leading strata management professionals who run a real portfolio. Every workflow is deterministic — no AI hallucinations, no probabilistic outputs, no results that need checking. The system does exactly what it was designed to do, every time, at scale.
A factual comparison across the operational dimensions that matter most at scale.

Some platforms are adopting AI to compose emails, digitise invoices, or answer legislative questions. These tools can be useful — but they introduce probabilistic outputs that require human verification. At scale, that verification becomes a bottleneck.
StrataPort wasn't designed in a software lab or assembled by external technology partners. It was built — and is continuously developed — in deep partnership with leading strata management professionals who operate a live portfolio on the same system every day.
The real test of a strata platform isn't what it does for 500 lots. It's what happens when you grow to 5,000, 10,000, or 25,000 lots. Platforms that digitise manual processes still require staff to operate them. StrataPort's deterministic workflows execute without human intervention — so your headcount doesn't need to scale linearly with your portfolio.
Some platforms embed AI into core operations — composing emails, answering legislative questions, making suggestions. That means every output carries hallucination risk and needs checking. StrataPort takes a different approach: the core platform is entirely deterministic, and AI is available as a governed optional layer through StrataPort Plus.
