Build the company.
Know the investment.

Most operational problems cannot be understood from a dashboard or a single conversation with the owner.

To understand what is happening inside a company, we need to see how work moves between people, departments, decisions, and systems.

VIRTUA works directly with ownership and key team members to examine how the business operates today.

We identify where work slows down, where responsibilities are unclear, where leadership becomes a bottleneck, and where the existing systems fail to support execution.

From there, we develop the operating architecture and implementation roadmap needed to strengthen the business.

What the engagement includes

• Interviews with ownership and key team members.
• Observation of existing departmental workflows.
• Review of current software, processes, and reporting.
• Evaluation of how responsibilities and decisions are assigned.
• Identification of operational bottlenecks and duplicated work.
• Assessment of communication and coordination between departments.
• Review of accountability, escalation, and performance visibility.
• Identification of operational risks and infrastructure gaps.
• Proposed operating architecture and departmental priorities.
• Phased implementation roadmap with recommended department builds.
• Executive presentation of findings and recommendations.

What you receive

Operational Assessment

A clear understanding of how the company currently functions, including its operational strengths, weaknesses, and risks.

Operating Architecture

A proposed structure for how responsibilities, workflows, decisions, accountability, and systems should work together.

Implementation Roadmap

A prioritized plan outlining what should be built, in what order, and why.

Department Build Proposals

Defined recommendations for individual department implementations, including scope and proposed investment.

Engagement details

Investment: $3,500, paid upfront.

Estimated timeline: Approximately 2–3 weeks, depending on scheduling and scope.

Standard scope: Up to six key stakeholder interviews and review of up to three departments. Larger or more complex organizations may require a custom assessment.

The diagnosis includes the assessment, architecture, and roadmap. It does not include software development or implementation.

You leave knowing what needs to change, what needs to be built, and how to move forward.

Once the operating architecture is defined, VIRTUA begins implementing the infrastructure your company needs.

Instead of forcing every department into generic software, we design workflows and systems around how your company should operate.

This may involve clarifying responsibilities, defining approval structures, connecting existing platforms, building custom workflows, developing dashboards, and automating repetitive processes.

The goal is not simply to introduce technology.

The goal is to establish a department that operates with clear responsibilities, consistent execution, and measurable performance.

What a department build may include

• Department workflow architecture.
• Roles and responsibility mapping.
• Decision and approval structures.
• Escalation procedures.
• Process documentation and operating standards.
• Workflow automation.
• Integration with existing software.
• Custom interfaces or Hub functionality, where included in scope.
• Department dashboards and operational visibility.
• Testing and implementation.
• Team training and handoff.
• Defined acceptance criteria for the completed build.

The exact deliverables are established in the approved department scope.

Departments we can build

Leasing Infrastructure

Build the structure that moves prospects from inquiry to signed lease.

Potential capabilities include lead intake, prospect tracking, showing coordination, application follow-up, approval workflows, lease preparation, and leasing performance visibility.

Compliance Infrastructure

Establish clear accountability and tracking for compliance requirements across buildings.

Potential capabilities include compliance calendars, assignment of responsibilities, document tracking, deadlines, reminders, escalations, and portfolio-level reporting.

Maintenance & Work Order Infrastructure

Create a consistent system for receiving, assigning, approving, tracking, and closing maintenance work.

Potential capabilities include work order intake, prioritization, vendor coordination, approvals, status tracking, completion verification, and performance reporting.

Renewals Infrastructure

Coordinate renewal decisions, tenant communications, document preparation, approvals, and follow-up through a defined workflow.

Collections Infrastructure

Establish consistent delinquency monitoring, collection assignments, follow-up procedures, escalations, and reporting.

Vendor & Expense Infrastructure

Improve how vendors are onboarded, insurance is tracked, scopes are approved, expenses are reviewed, and work is documented.

Additional departments and custom operating workflows may be developed based on the company's needs.

How pricing works

Each department is scoped individually following the Operational Diagnosis.

Standard department builds: $5,000–$7,000.

Larger builds involving significant custom development, extensive integrations, multiple subdepartments, or complex implementation requirements are quoted separately.

Billing: Project-based, with milestone payments defined in the agreement.

Timeline: Determined by department scope and implementation complexity.

Build one department. Strengthen the company. Repeat as your business grows.

When a department's technology goes live, VIRTUA can continue maintaining and supporting the infrastructure we implemented.

Our Technology Care service is designed to help keep workflows, integrations, and connected systems functioning as intended.

Each completed department can be enrolled in its own monthly maintenance plan.

What Technology Care includes

• Monitoring existing automations and integrations.
• Troubleshooting errors in delivered workflows.
• Routine technical maintenance.
• Minor configuration corrections within the agreed support allowance.
• Basic system health checks.
• Technical support for the implemented infrastructure.
• Monitoring for recurring technical issues.

What Technology Care does not include

• Development of new departments.
• Major new features or custom modules.
• Significant workflow redesigns.
• New software integrations outside the original scope.
• Unlimited development requests.
• Employee management or departmental operational leadership.
• Third-party software, hosting, messaging, or AI usage costs unless expressly included in the agreement.

New development and substantial changes are quoted separately.

How the monthly fee works

Technology Care begins when the department has been completed, accepted, and launched.

The monthly fee increases as additional departments are completed and enrolled.

$400 per department is the starting rate. More complex technical environments may require a custom maintenance fee.

The final agreement defines the support allowance, response targets, covered systems, and treatment of third-party costs.

Your infrastructure should continue working after implementation.

Technology can help work move faster. But technology alone does not create accountability, establish priorities, or make operational decisions.

Growing property management companies often reach a point where ownership is involved in too many day-to-day decisions.

Departments operate with different priorities. Employees lack clear decision authority. Important issues are escalated unnecessarily. And leadership struggles to see whether the company is performing as expected.

VIRTUA's Fractional COO Partnership provides ongoing operational leadership to help owners strengthen how their companies function.

We work alongside ownership and department leaders to establish priorities, reinforce accountability, monitor performance, and continuously improve execution.

What the partnership may include

Operational Leadership

Work with ownership to establish company priorities, operating expectations, and decision-making structures.

Department Accountability

Review departmental responsibilities, performance, and outstanding operational issues.

Performance Visibility

Establish and review operational KPIs, dashboards, reporting standards, and performance trends.

Cross-Department Coordination

Help ensure departments operate from aligned priorities and clear responsibilities.

Operational Problem Solving

Identify recurring issues, determine their causes, and develop corrective actions.

Process Improvement

Refine existing workflows and operating standards as the company evolves.

Leadership Meetings

Conduct scheduled operational reviews with ownership and relevant team members.

Growth Readiness

Evaluate whether the company's existing structure can support additional properties, employees, and operational complexity.

What the partnership is designed to achieve

• Reduce unnecessary owner involvement in routine decisions.
• Strengthen accountability across departments.
• Improve visibility into company performance.
• Establish consistent operating standards.
• Identify operational risks earlier.
• Improve coordination between employees, vendors, and leadership.
• Support growth without allowing operational complexity to grow unchecked.

Engagement details

Starting investment: $5,000/month.

Billing: Monthly retainer.

Initial engagement: Proposed three-month minimum.

The exact scope depends on company size, number of departments, management responsibilities, meeting frequency, and expected time commitment.

The agreement specifies VIRTUA's decision authority, operational responsibilities, communication expectations, and capacity.

Direct employee management, vendor management, approval authority, or extensive hands-on execution must be explicitly included in the agreed scope.

Important distinction

Technology Care maintains the systems.

Fractional COO provides operational leadership.

These are separate services and are priced independently.

Clients may engage VIRTUA for operational leadership during or after infrastructure implementation, depending on their needs.

Your company needs more than functioning systems. It needs leadership that keeps the entire operation moving.
