Unity Property Management manages a growing portfolio of residential communities and relies on Salesforce as the core system for operational data and workflows. As the homeowner base expanded, extending access through Salesforce Experience Cloud resulted in increasing licensing costs and limited flexibility in delivering a modern digital experience.
The project focused on building a scalable, cost-efficient engagement platform while preserving Salesforce as the system of record.
Scaling homeowner access without introducing additional per-user licensing costs was the primary challenge. Unity Property Management required a digital solution that supported real-time data access, service requests, financial visibility, and community interaction across both mobile and web platforms. The lack of documented Salesforce architecture added complexity, requiring careful discovery and validation to ensure data integrity and system stability at scale.
A custom mobile and web ecosystem was implemented to serve as a dedicated engagement layer for homeowners. The platform functions as a centralized digital hub while Salesforce continues to operate as the authoritative backend. This approach eliminates the dependency on Salesforce Experience Cloud licenses and enables greater flexibility in user experience and feature development.
The architecture leverages Salesforce APIs, Apex, and Platform Events for secure data exchange and real-time communication. A NestJS backend hosted on AWS manages application logic, synchronization workflows, and data transformation. React and React Native deliver a consistent user experience across web and mobile platforms, while cloud-native and serverless components ensure scalability and performance under high user demand.
The completed platform significantly reduced Salesforce licensing and operational costs while delivering a modern, intuitive homeowner experience. Engagement improved through simplified access and mobile-first design, while Salesforce data integrity and operational continuity were fully preserved. The solution now provides a scalable foundation that supports continued growth without additional licensing constraints.
This project demonstrates how Salesforce-driven organizations can extend their digital ecosystem beyond internal users in a cost-efficient and scalable way. By separating external engagement from core operations, Unity Property Management gained a flexible, future-ready platform designed for long-term growth and evolving business needs.
