PBSA operators: stop paying RealPage's per-bed rent. Parent-friendly UX included.

Custom application → room-allocation → payment → parent portal. PBSA + student-housing operators across the US, UK, Australia, India. The piece SaaS gets wrong: parent-side UX. We get it right. 10–18 weeks.

PBSA operators across the US, UK, Australia, and India. Parent-side UX is our differentiator.

Who needs this

Built for these operators

  • Single-asset PBSA

    First-property student-housing brands launching their digital stack.

  • Multi-region PBSA

    Operators across US / UK / AU / IN scaling brand + ops.

  • Sponsor-led PBSA

    Investor-led PBSA with operator partner; need investor portal too.

  • University-partnered PBSA

    Operators with master-lease / nominations agreements.

Honest fit

Who this is NOT for

  • Operators under 200 beds. RealPage Student / StarRez monthly fees will be cheaper for you.
  • Universities running their own student housing. Your IT department has different procurement constraints; talk to TCS / Infosys for that.
  • Anyone unwilling to invest in parent-side UX. That's the conversion lever; cheap-out and you stay where SaaS leaves you.

Why most teams fail

The traps that tank a custom build

  • Custom builds drift

    Without weekly checkpoints scope creep tanks the launch date and the budget.

  • Schema goes stale

    AEO-eligible markup needs to be regenerated continuously, not hand-edited once.

  • PMS / CRM / web silo

    Three tools run separately and reconciling spreadsheets costs more than the build.

  • No cost guardrails

    Per-tenant + per-feature cost is invisible until the bill arrives.

  • Compliance afterthought

    GDPR, RERA, MLS, KYC bolted on at the end is 5× the cost of building it in.

Migration path

Coming from a SaaS you've outgrown?

PBSA operators commonly land on a per-bed PMS, then get squeezed at scale.

RealPage Student

Per-bed pricing scales with occupancy not revenue. Year-3 break-even on a custom platform is common.

StarRez

Operators tired of generic UX especially on the parent + student side.

Adirondack Solutions

1 engagement

Smaller operators graduating from spreadsheets + AS400 to modern platform.

What we build

The full stack, end-to-end

  • Application + room allocation

    Mobile-first application + screening + room-allocation logic.

  • Payment plans

    Multi-instalment + parent-as-payer flows. UPI / Stripe / Razorpay / regional gateways.

  • Parent + student apps

    iOS + Android. Payments, support, community, parent visibility.

  • Virtual tours

    Embedded 3D + 360° tours per room type.

  • Multi-region site

    Per-country + per-campus landing pages.

  • Operator dashboard

    Per-property occupancy + revenue + applications + parent satisfaction.

Built for your business

What you actually need, not what a template ships with

Everything above is a starting point. Your business drives the scope. Every module, field, workflow, integration, role and dashboard is shaped around your team, your reporting lines and the way you actually run the business. Anything can be added, removed or changed at any stage.

  • Your business, your scope

    We start with what your business actually needs. Modules, data, reports and roles are mapped to your P&L, not a generic feature list.

  • Fully customisable

    Fields, workflows, dashboards, permissions and integrations are all yours to shape. Nothing is locked behind a SaaS config wall.

  • Add anything, anytime

    New modules, integrations, reports or user roles can be added at any stage. You own the roadmap and the code.

  • Change as you grow

    Your operating model will change. So will the platform. We build the software to bend around new markets, entities and reporting requirements.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does the engagement take?

8–24 weeks depending on scope. Single-vertical launches at the lower end; multi-region platforms at the upper end.

Do we own the code?

Yes. Every line, every model, every contract. Deployed to your cloud. No SaaS lock-in, no per-seat licence.

Can you migrate from a templated SaaS?

Yes. Most builds are migrations. We rebuild on Next.js with proper schema-first SEO/AEO, keep your URLs intact, and 301 the old paths.

Do you handle ongoing ops?

Yes. Most operators continue with us on a retainer covering content, SEO, paid, and growth experiments.
