Each answer points back to the thread
Move from the answer you sent the board to the original email, vendor quote, or approval without starting a second search.
Property Management Companies
Stop being the property's memory.
Dossier is the shared memory for your management team and the boards you serve. Decisions, approvals, deadlines, commitments. Your team or the board can find them in seconds.

Setup takes minutes. No IT project. No team training.
Your board's history lives in someone's inbox. Usually yours.
Your PMS handles work orders, statements, and owner requests. It was never built to capture how the board governs. Approvals come through email threads. Vendors quote by email for board review. The board debates and decides in reply chains. Years later, the only person who knows what happened is the manager who handled it. If they're still around.
The board asks. Your team digs. Repeat.
What did we approve last quarter? Which vendor did we pick? Who committed to the timeline? Your team burns time re-answering questions the board itself raised, often from the same threads the board was on.
Your PMS wasn't built for governance
Yardi, AppFolio, Buildium, Condo Control, FrontSteps. They run operations and owner communication. None of them capture the email record of how the board debates, approves, and decides. That gap is where Dossier lives.
The building's history lives in one manager's head
When the board asks why a past decision was made, only the manager who handled it knows. Their assistant, the senior PM, the accountant, all start from scratch.
Turnover wipes the slate on both sides
When a manager moves to a new portfolio or the board rotates after the AGM, the governance history goes with them. The next people inherit the building, not the years of email behind it.
Your team keeps emailing. Dossier captures the governance record.
Dossier sits alongside your existing tools. It does not replace your PMS, your owner portal, or your document storage. It captures the one thing none of those tools were built for: the email record of how the board governs.
- 01
Share board-business threads and documents
BCC the building's Dossier address on any thread that's part of how the board governs. Decisions, vendor approvals, legal counsel, AGM prep. You can also upload supporting documents directly in the dashboard. Engineer reports, vendor quotes, AGM packages, insurance documents.
- 02
Each building is its own scoped workspace
Your management team and that building's board both have access to one workspace per building. Nothing crosses buildings, and owner-facing communication never enters the record.
- 03
Both teams query the same record
Your managers and the board both get sourced answers in seconds. When a board member asks 'what did we decide about X,' the answer comes back with the original thread attached. They self-serve the governance memory, so your team stops being the human search engine.
See it in action
One question. Years of threads, synthesized.
Dossier - 450 Marine Drive
"Where are we on the lobby renovation since 2024, what has the board committed to, and what's still outstanding?"
Dossier
The board approved a phased lobby renovation in November 2024, starting with flooring and lighting (Phase 1, completed June 2025). Phase 2 (front desk and entry doors, $48,000) was approved in February 2026 with work scheduled for May. A January 2025 vote to include accessibility upgrades was rescinded after the contractor's revised quote came in over budget; the board deferred that scope to a future capital plan.

Re: Phase 2 approval - vote summary
Answer board questions in one query, not five inboxes.
These are the questions the board asks their property manager once the original thread is buried.
- "What did the board approve for the parkade membrane repair?"
- "What has the board committed to about the lobby renovation since 2024?"
- "Which outstanding commitments did the previous manager make on this file?"
- "What changed between the first landscaping quote and what the board approved?"
- "Which version of the bylaw amendment did the board approve at the last meeting?"
- "What did the previous manager already tell the board about this issue?"
Board answers stay tied to the building record.
When a board member asks for proof, your team points back to the exact thread, quote, or approval behind the answer.
Continuity
The workspace outlasts both teams
When a manager leaves or board members rotate, the new people inherit the record, not someone else's inbox. The building's history lives in the workspace, not in someone's head.
Defensibility
Every decision can be shown, not just claimed
When a past decision gets questioned at an AGM, in a dispute, or by an owner, your team can show the thread, the quote, and the approval behind it. The record is the answer.
What changes when the record exists.
Once the record exists in one place, the math shifts for your team.
"What changes for our property management company?"
Based on the record your team builds, here's what changes:
- 01
Stop being the board's search engine.
Boards self-serve from the record themselves.
- 02
Onboard new managers in weeks, not quarters.
They inherit the building's full record day one.
- 03
Defend any past decision instantly.
Thread, quote, and approval, one click away.
- 04
More buildings per portfolio manager.
Hours back per week, redirected to growth.
- 05
Boards that stay confident.
Less friction, more trust at renewal time.

Property governance shouldn't require an inbox search.
A few practical questions for portfolio teams.
Dossier is meant to reduce rework for managers, not create another system everyone has to maintain.
Does this replace our PMS or owner portal?
No. Dossier captures board governance only. Your PMS still runs operations, work orders, and statements. Your owner portal still handles owner-facing communication. Dossier fills the gap none of those tools address: the email record of how the board actually governs.
How is this different from AI features in Gmail or other inbox tools?
Inbox AI is built to help one person move faster through their own mail. It can summarize a single thread, pull a fact from an old email, or draft a reply. Dossier does a different job: it turns the threads and documents your management team and the board share into a sourced record of what was decided, by whom, and when. Even the strongest inbox AI does not stitch a board decision together across three separate threads spread over six months, treat governance decisions and vendor commitments as their own searchable objects, or carry that record forward when a manager moves to a new portfolio or the board rotates after the AGM.
Is Dossier only for email?
No. You can also upload documents directly in the dashboard. Engineer reports, vendor quotes, AGM packages, insurance documents, anything your board relies on. Dossier captures the record from both threads and uploaded documents. More sources are coming as we expand to the other places governance discussions live.
Can we ingest historical board emails, or only threads we BCC going forward?
The same Dossier address that handles BCC'd threads accepts forwarded historical emails. Forward years of board threads during onboarding so Dossier is useful from your existing record, not just from threads you BCC going forward.
Can we start with one building?
Yes. Most PM companies onboard one strata or HOA first, run it for a few weeks, and then add the rest of the portfolio as the value lands. Add buildings as you go.
Do board members use this too?
Yes. That's the point. Both your management team and the board have access. The board can self-serve governance questions instead of routing every 'what did we decide' through your team. The cleaner the board can answer their own questions, the less rework lands in your inbox.
How do you handle our data?
Your threads are never used to train AI models. Data is transmitted over an encrypted connection. Only members you invite can see your Dossier, and you can delete your data, export it, or close your account at any time.
