White paper & case study
Extending AppFolio Max Into Building Access Control
A case study for midsized property operators using dormakaba Community software and Comelit.
Executive overview
Connecting the resident record to physical access
AppFolio can hold the resident, lease, unit, move-in, and move-out information while a separate building system manages physical access. Without a dependable connection, staff must repeat resident lifecycle work in both systems.
This paper examines a 118-unit Class A multifamily property with retail in Glendale, California. Property Ops Studio connected AppFolio Max with dormakaba Community Access Management Software while the property retained its existing dormakaba keyless-entry environment and Comelit video-entry system.
The case study also considers operating consistency, staff training, recurring software fees, and when a focused integration may be preferable to replacing serviceable infrastructure with a broader packaged platform.
