Their outsourced dev team since 2020
Our work · Associations & Community

One team built their entire platform.

Membershine is a software company with an HOA and community-management platform, and we're the team that built it. When Membershine went looking to build it custom, the quotes came back at two to three years and millions of dollars. We scoped the work on complexity instead and have delivered it in two-week sprints as their outsourced dev team since 2020: accounting, communications, voting, a resident app, and a support desk, all in one product.

01 The problem

The vision was clear. The quotes were not.

Membershine knew exactly what its HOA and community-management platform needed to be. What it didn't have was a way to build it that made sense. The custom quotes it gathered ran to two or three years and millions of dollars, big enough to make anyone wonder if the whole thing was feasible.

What they needed was a team that could learn the domain, translate it into a real plan, and ship working software in increments instead of asking for years and a fortune up front. So we scoped the work on its complexity, committed to the figure, and started shipping every two weeks.

They understood the nomenclature that I was using. I would say I needed a ticketing system and they were finishing my sentences before I was even done. The vision was there, the implementation is where Counterpart really shined.

02 What we built

A whole SaaS product, one sprint at a time.

Membershine's platform runs a community end to end, and we built every part of it: the management core, the money, the messaging, and the app residents actually touch.

Core

Community management

Associations, members, events, and amenities managed together, the backbone the rest of the platform is built on.

Money

Accounting and payments

Dues, financials, and accounting, with resident payments running through Stripe inside the same platform.

Messaging

A communications suite

A full communications suite for reaching residents, wired to Twilio so a community can actually get word out.

Residents

A resident app

A mobile web app where residents handle their own community business, from payments to requests, wherever they are.

Governance

Voting and polls

Community voting and polls run inside the platform, so decisions and elections happen where the community already lives.

Support

A support desk

A built-in support desk, the ticketing system that was on Membershine's wish list from the first conversation.

03 Under the hood

Proven technology, chosen on purpose.

Almost everything we ship runs on the same modern Microsoft stack: proven, supported, and easy to hire for years from now. Cutting edge but never bleeding edge.

Payments run through Stripe and communications through Twilio, wired into a single platform that also carries a resident mobile web app and a built-in support desk.

04 The long run

Their whole dev team, since 2020.

Membershine brought the product vision and the domain expertise. We brought the software team. As their outsourced developers we've built the platform end to end and kept shipping in two-week sprints since 2020, and we're still the team behind it.
