How Ayillo is different

Ayillo is a modular operating system, not a single app: leasing, rent and accounting, maintenance and vendor companies, commercial leases with CAM, marketplace listings, property websites, broadcasting with budget controls, and a resident app with a real community board. You turn on the modules you want and see the price before you buy.
