Atlantic Pacific Companies, a beacon of four generation excellence redefines real estate blending tradition and innovation. We’re creating communities focusing on sustainability and prioritizing our people while delivering outsized risk-adjusted returns to our partners. Our focus and expertise spans Acquisitions, Development & General Contracting, Property Management, and Investment Management across Florida, the Mid-Atlantic, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Southern California.

Before finding AppWork, Atlantic Pacific struggled with understanding work order volume, completion time, and ensuring data integrity. "We were lacking visibility. It was holding us back from seeing what we needed on site and what our customers were experiencing," said Lissette Sabatino. The existing systems, including RealPage and later Yardi, were cumbersome, less user-friendly, and lacked the mobile functionality that the team required.

Atlantic Pacific always utilized the native maintenance system within their property management software. However, the transition from RealPage to Yardi still left them with systems that had "some speed bumps," as described by Lissette. The search for a better solution led them to evaluate three different systems, ultimately choosing AppWork. AppWork stood out due to its smooth sales process and confidence in the product. "The customer service, amazing presentation, and the fact that AppWork wasn’t 'salesy' but super confident in the product let the product sell itself," highlighted Lissette. The simplicity and user-friendly nature of AppWork made it a system the teams enjoyed using.

The onboarding process was robust and comprehensive. "We had a large onboarding, 30+ communities over several weeks. AppWork's in-person presence was a standout advantage that helped ensure everything went smoothly," said Lissette. Despite onboarding a large, the process was efficient and well-received.

AppWork addressed Atlantic Pacific's previous challenges of efficiency, visibility, and customer experience. "Our previous challenges were efficiency, lack of visibility, and customer experience, and you checked off every box!" noted Lissette. The visibility provided by AppWork has been particularly impactful, improving performance as everyone now has full access to all the data.
The overall impact on properties has been significant. Lissette mentioned that the visibility alone has helped improve performance, particularly in underperforming assets.

Lissette's overall experience with AppWork has been extremely positive: "It’s been a great experience. For everything that I wanted it to accomplish you’ve provided that. I look forward to the continued new features launching!" Through this detailed case study, it's evident that Atlantic Pacific has significantly enhanced its property management operations with AppWork, achieving better visibility, efficiency, and overall performance.
