Instead of Stratafy
Thinking of leaving Stratafy? Run your strata portfolio from records you own.
Enterprise DNA builds a strata system shaped around how your managers handle AGM season, work orders, owner questions and arrears. We bring your Stratafy buildings, lots and owners across, link it to the trust accounting system you choose, and keep it running for you.
Stratafy does not show a price on its site. Every route leads to a demo request, tailored to your property type and team size, so the figure you pay is set in a private quote.

Where the money goes
An all-in-one platform charges for everything it bundles
Your buildings, owners, minutes and registers are records your firm created. What a platform like Stratafy charges for is the set of screens, apps and add-on products wrapped around them.
A figure you only learn in a demo
There is no price on the Stratafy site. You book a demo, it is shaped to your property type and team size, and the quote follows. Comparing it against anything else means sitting through each vendor's sales process first.
A long list of modules in one bundle
Stratafy X lists trust accounting, work orders, documents, facilities, a dashboard, a task manager, a marketplace, broadcast, analytics, supplier compliance and the owner app.
A product family around the core
Beside Stratafy X sit Sai Chat, Sai Assist, Sai Voice, Sai MCP, Zen FM and Meet Master, some on a separate website. Each extra product is one more thing to understand, sign up for and keep track of.
An assistant that talks to their platform
Stratafy's assistant, Sai, raises work orders and drafts notices, and Sai MCP lets your team reach Stratafy from ChatGPT or Claude. Their own words: they manage the core platform. The records your team is talking to still live with them.
Analytics drawn their way
The dashboard and analytics answer the questions the vendor chose. A question that crosses buildings, managers and contractors, the kind a principal asks on a Friday, can still end in a spreadsheet someone builds by hand.
Leaving is a project
Years of a firm's levy history, minutes, owner contacts and work orders build up inside one vendor's system. The home page says nothing about getting them out, so the exit route is a question you have to ask.
What you run instead
The strata manager's week, answered from your own records
Owners and buildings
One roll for the whole portfolio
Every building, lot, entitlement and owner in one place your firm controls, so a question about any of them is one sentence away.
- check Ask who owns a lot, how to reach them and what they owe, and get it back in seconds
- check See every building a manager carries, with its committee, its next meeting and its open jobs
- check Bring your Stratafy buildings, lots and owners across from a spreadsheet export, with a test run first
- check Ask which managers carry the most lots against the meetings and jobs they actually handle
Meetings
AGM season with the deadlines counted
Each building's general meeting is tracked against the deadline its financial year sets, with the notice period counted backwards so nothing is booked too late.
- check Held, booked or at risk, across every building, worst first
- check A meeting booked inside the notice period is flagged before the notice goes out
- check The agenda drafted from what the building needs this year: levies, valuations, work over the committee's limit
- check Notices and minutes in your firm's colours, tracked until they reach every owner
Work orders and arrears
Jobs and overdue levies, chased in order
Maintenance requests and contractor jobs sit beside the levy arrears trail, so a manager's Monday list comes from one place.
- check Open jobs by building and contractor
- check Contractors who keep invoicing over their quote, named with the amounts
- check The arrears trail with every step dated: reminder, formal demand, recovery
- check The right letter for the step a file needs, drafted for a person to check and send
Registers
Insurance and compliance that cite the rule
The insurance programme and the compliance register are records you can question, each check naming the section of the law it comes from.
- check Every policy with its expiry, premium and the age of the valuation behind its sum insured
- check A compliance check across the portfolio in one request: meetings, notices, maintenance plans, the audit
- check Rules you edit for your state by describing them, not a vendor setting you wait on
- check Free, open source and yours, with no per-module or per-product line on any invoice

Switching
How to switch from Stratafy
The move involves exporting your records, mapping and checking them, then running both systems side by side for a month before you switch off Stratafy.
- 1
Request your Stratafy exports
Ask Stratafy what exports your account allows, and ask for the building, lot and owner lists as spreadsheet files. Your account may allow CSV or Excel exports, but check the available formats with Stratafy. If Stratafy holds your trust ledger, plan where that ledger will go too. Body Corporate for Claude Code does not hold or manage trust money.
- 2
Map and load your records
Match the columns in your building, lot and owner lists to the fields the new system expects. The columns will not match automatically. Load a test run first, then review the result before loading the records you plan to use. The import supports plain CSV data, so check that your exports are in a format it can accept.
- 3
Review the test run
Check what the test run reports as unmapped or missing, and correct the mapping before importing the full set. Compare the opening arrears figures with the old ledger and resolve any differences. Review compliance items too. Imported schemes can have items marked as unknown, which means you need to check them rather than treat them as verified.
- 4
Run both systems together
Keep Stratafy running while you use the new system for a month. Compare the records and make sure your team can find the information it needs. Agree the opening arrears against the old ledger during this period. If Stratafy holds your trust ledger, arrange its move to a dedicated trust accounting system and link that system to the new records.
- 5
Switch off Stratafy
After the month-long side-by-side period, switch off Stratafy only when the records and arrears have been checked and your team is ready to work in the new system. If Stratafy holds your trust ledger, make sure that ledger has also moved to a dedicated trust accounting system. The new system does not receipt money, pay creditors or reconcile a trust account.
Where the real effort goes
The work is usually in mapping Stratafy's columns to your own fields, setting up your rules, and deciding how much history to bring across. You also need to check opening arrears and any records that the test run leaves unmapped or unknown. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run it for you, Enterprise DNA handles the mapping and setup as part of the build.

Questions
Instead of Stratafy, answered
Stratafy does our trust accounting. Does this replace that? expand_more
No, and it is built that way on purpose. The free version keeps a levy record so the arrears figures are right, but it never receipts money, pays a creditor or reconciles a trust account. Client money belongs in a dedicated trust accounting system with an auditor attached. If Stratafy holds your trust ledger today, leaving it means moving that ledger to a dedicated trust accounting system as well, and Enterprise DNA plans that move with you and links the two together.
Stratafy already works from ChatGPT and Claude. Why change? expand_more
Stratafy's Sai MCP lets your team ask Stratafy questions from those tools, and Stratafy says it manages the core platform. That is the difference. Here the records themselves sit in a database your firm owns, so the questions, the rules and the paperwork are yours to change, and nothing about them depends on a vendor keeping a connection switched on.
Our owners use the Stratafy app. What happens to them? expand_more
The free version has no owner login. Owners get what they mostly need from you: the right levy notice, a meeting notice with a real agenda, minutes that arrive, and an answer when they call. If the app matters to your owners, Enterprise DNA builds a request form or an owner app into your version, reading from the same records your managers use.
How do we get our records out of Stratafy? expand_more
Ask Stratafy what exports your account allows, and ask for the building, lot and owner lists as spreadsheet files. Stratafy's columns are not the ones the free version expects, so the columns need mapping: Enterprise DNA does that as part of the build, or you ask Claude Code to do it. Do a test run, agree opening arrears against the old ledger, and run both side by side for a month before you switch Stratafy off.
We manage buildings in more than one state. Do the rules fit? expand_more
The compliance checks are written as rules you can read and change, each citing its source. The free version ships with New Zealand rules and a high-level map of the main Australian strata Acts. Enterprise DNA writes the checks for each state you operate in, and you can change any of them later by describing the change. It is your rule book pointed at your records, not legal advice.
