You don't have a vendor problem. You have a decision infrastructure problem.
Property management companies aren't short on vendor options; they're drowning in them. The challenge isn't finding tools. It's knowing which ones are right for your portfolio, your properties, and your operational model.
StackSmart is the structure the industry has been missing: a single framework that classifies every vendor in the multifamily ecosystem, maps your current stack against it, and tells you, with evidence and a confidence score, exactly what to do.
From data to decisions.
A structured process, not a custom consulting project.
01
STACK CAPTURE
We gather every vendor contract, invoice, and deployment record across your portfolio. Most PMCs have never seen their full stack in one place. We build that picture first.
02
COST NORMALIZATION
Every vendor is mapped to every property. We calculate cost per unit per month at the property level, the category level, and the full portfolio rollup, giving you the financial picture your stack has never had.
03
TAXONOMY MAPPING
Your entire stack is evaluated against StackSmart's 85-slot capability taxonomy, the most comprehensive classification framework for multifamily proptech in existence. Every tool is classified. Every gap is surfaced.
Six primary categories. 85 capability slots. The complete classification framework for multifamily proptech.
04
RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
For every slot in the taxonomy, we generate a structured recommendation: Keep, Move To, Add, Consolidate, Remove, or Review. Every recommendation carries a confidence score based on five factors: cost data completeness, vendor proof strength, ecosystem fit, strategic clarity, and unresolved flags.
Every recommendation shows what would move the confidence score higher, turning gaps into action items, not excuses.
05
CASE CARDS
Every non-Keep recommendation gets a Case Card, an executive-ready decision memo that explains what we recommend, why, what it will cost, and what the migration path looks like. Built for the people who have to approve the decision, not just the people who read reports.

06
STAKEHOLDER REVIEW
We present the full recommendation set to your leadership team in a structured four-bucket session: Keep and Validate, Quick Wins, Strategic Moves, and Longer Horizon items. The goal is decisions, not awareness.

EXECUTION SUPPORT
For clients who want execution support, we provide three lanes of post-assessment change management: light-touch support, active co-piloting, and full embedded execution, scaled to your internal capacity and the scope of change you're taking on.
350+ vendors and vendor products. 85 capability slots. Thousands of hours of structured diligence.
StackSmart's recommendations are only as good as the intelligence behind them. That's why we built the vendor intelligence library, a continuously maintained knowledge base covering every major vendor in the multifamily ecosystem.
Vendor Master Library
350+ vendors classified across 20 structured diligence sections: strategic role, stack layer, lifecycle phase, proof strength, integration quality, pricing model, compliance posture, and competitive positioning. Updated continuously through NDAs, structured due diligence surveys, and direct vendor review sessions.
The 20-part vendor diligence profile: Section R is the StackSmart ecosystem fit assessment.
Vendor-agnostic. Always.
MFC doesn't sell software. We do not receive referral fees from vendors. We don't take placement commissions that could influence what we recommend.
Every recommendation StackSmart produces is driven entirely by data, evidence, and fit for your specific portfolio and operational model.
When we have any affiliation with a vendor referenced in a recommendation, it is disclosed.
Always. Without exception.
StackSmart works alongside contract management and IT governance layers, or stands alone when they're not in place.
"The multifamily industry has never had a neutral, structured, intelligence-backed framework for technology decision-making. That's what StackSmart is."
— Robert Turnbull, Managing Partner, Multifamily Consortium

EXECUTION SUPPORT
From recommendations to results.
For organizations that want MFC alongside them during execution, we offer three levels of execution support: light-touch support, active co-piloting, and full embedded execution. Scope and pricing are defined by how many properties are affected and what level of support your team needs.
Priced per affected property · Scoped per engagement
Ready to see your stack clearly?
The StackSmart assessment starts with a conversation. Tell us about your portfolio: how many properties, what PMS you're on, and what's frustrating you most about your current vendor landscape. We'll tell you whether StackSmart is the right fit and what the engagement would look like.
Engagements typically begin within two weeks of agreement. No vendor commitments required.
