Case Study: Westland Real Estate Group streamlines field operations with Glide

Westland Real Estate Group manages 12,000 rental units with 20 Glide apps

Westland Real Estate Group, a property management company managing 12,000 rental units, faced significant challenges with its internal operations. Their CTO, Shani Nowlin, was burdened with creating and maintaining tools using Google Sheets and Apps Scripts, a process that was tedious, time-consuming, and prone to breaking. This system created constant frustration and inefficiency for their 200+ person team, especially as new challenges like managing delinquent payments emerged during the pandemic.

Using Glide, the company built over 20 private apps to streamline operations, including solutions for managing delinquent payments, property inspections, budgeting, and IT assets. This provided greater data visibility, flexibility, and control over their tools. The Glide solution saved a massive amount of development time, empowered non-technical team members to build apps, and allowed the internal dev team to focus on larger projects. The measurable impact includes efficiently managing over 200 vendor contracts and automating processes that were previously handled through error-prone spreadsheets.
