  • 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.

    Can Kompas replace Yardi Breeze?

    Operators move to Kompas from Yardi Breeze regularly enough that our team maintains a documented migration playbook for it. The difference to weigh is the accounting position: Kompas is built so the general ledger is the foundation and every lease, work order and payment posts to it directly, and every subscription includes all core platform features with unlimited users rather than tiers that withhold them.

    Can Kompas replace Hopem or Proprio?

    Both are systems our team has documented migration playbooks for, which means the extraction and mapping have been done before rather than being worked out on your portfolio. What Kompas offers in their place is a single general ledger under leasing, maintenance, payments and reporting, official TAL leases and RL-31 generation for Quebec portfolios, and all core features included in every subscription.

    Do I have to give up the tools I already use to move to Kompas?

    No — the open API with two-way sync and the Zapier connection exist so Kompas sits alongside your stack rather than demanding all of it. Operators commonly keep Gmail or Outlook, HubSpot or Klaviyo for marketing, Asana for project work, and their own advertising channels. The one thing Kompas is meant to replace is the separate accounting file, because running two sets of books is the problem it was built to solve.

    Is accounting-first just marketing language?

    It has a concrete test: ask whether a signed lease posts its terms to the general ledger without anyone re-entering them, whether a settled payment reconciles as of its settlement date, and whether a rentable item like a parking space carries its own GL code into income reporting. In Kompas each of those is yes, which is why most of month-end close is already done before the month ends. A platform where accounting is a separate purchase answers those differently.
