Why Kompas

    How Kompas fits portfolios of different sizes, from a first buildings to thousands of units.

  • Compare Kompas

    How Kompas compares to other property management software in Canada.

Why KompasCompare Kompas

We currently use Building Stack plus QuickBooks. Does Kompas replace the need for both?

Yes — Kompas is built accounting first, which means the general ledger is the foundation of the platform rather than something added beside it. Rent collection, leasing, maintenance and financial reporting all post to that same ledger, so you stop running a property management system in tandem with a designated accounting file and stop exporting between the two. Our team has migration playbooks for both Building Stack and QuickBooks.

How do I know if Kompas is the right fit for my portfolio?

Kompas fits organisations that are scaling a real estate portfolio, or want to, without scaling back-office headcount at the same rate. It was designed by operators for operators who have grown from single properties to thousands of units, which shows up in the specifics rather than the pitch. The clearest way to judge is against portfolios that look like yours.

What actually makes Kompas different from other property management platforms?

Kompas is accounting first: the general ledger is the foundation, not an add-on, so every lease, renewal, work order and payment posts to the books as it happens rather than being exported to an accounting file later. Most platforms are sold in pieces you assemble and pay for separately; every Kompas subscription includes all core platform features and unlimited users. The team that built it managed and scaled real portfolios across three generations.


Kompas is built by property managers who’ve scaled real portfolios. We’re secure, open to the tools you already use, and ready for the people who depend on it.
