Management

Run Your Community Like a Well-Oiled Machine

From live location for onsite crews and architectural reviews to violation enforcement and vendor coordination — everything your board needs in one place.

Live Location

Know Exactly Where Your Onsite Crew Is, In Real Time

See every maintenance crew, landscaper, and contractor on a live map. Residents can track scheduled repairs — from landscaping to concrete work — and reach the crew directly. Boards save tens of thousands annually by verifying every hour billed.

  • Real-time GPS location on a community map
  • Crew check-in / check-out timestamps
  • Route history & time-on-site reporting
  • Geofence alerts for entry & exit
  • Mobile app for onsite crews
  • Proof-of-service documentation

Geofence & Route Replay

Only Time Inside the Geofence Counts

Every association gets a geofence — a virtual boundary around the community. Only time spent inside that boundary is counted toward billable association work. Crew members leave a GPS heat trail as they move through the property, and boards can replay the full route to verify exactly where time was spent.

  • Geofenced billing — only time inside community boundaries counts toward association work
  • Auto-replay route with heat map trail showing every street and area serviced
  • Breadcrumb trail of vendors servicing the location — see where everyone is or has been
  • Improve coordination — vendors get real-time feedback from residents and board members while work is in progress
  • Privacy-first — location enabled only upon check-in, resident phone numbers never visible to contractors or vice versa

Route Replay

Replay Any Worker's Shift, Step by Step

Review exactly where a worker went and how long they spent at each stop. Route Replay animates the breadcrumb trail on a map — perfect for verifying proof of service, investigating complaints, or optimizing routes.

  • Animated route playback on the map
  • Play, pause, fast-forward controls
  • Speed & duration at each stop
  • Spot unauthorized stops or detours
  • Export replay as proof-of-service report
  • Compare planned vs. actual routes

Geofencing

Draw Boundaries, Get Alerts Automatically

Set up geofences around your community, specific buildings, or job sites. HOA Alchemy sends automatic alerts when workers enter or leave, prevents off-site clock-ins, and gives you a clear record of who was where, when.

  • Draw custom circular or polygon geofences
  • Auto clock-in/out reminders at boundaries
  • Prevent off-site clock-ins (anti-buddy-punch)
  • Entry & exit notifications for managers
  • Multiple geofences per community
  • Geofence activity reports

Segmented Tracking

Break Down Every Shift Into Meaningful Segments

See how each worker's day breaks down: which buildings they visited, how long they spent at each, how many miles they drove between stops. Segmented tracking gives you a single visual timeline that shows driving vs. working vs. idle time.

  • Automatic stop detection & segmentation
  • Time at each location calculated
  • Driving distance & speed between stops
  • Visual daily timeline per worker
  • Idle time & gap detection
  • Mileage reports for reimbursement
