Case study: Canopy
Know your rights inside and out.
Canopy is the system I built for Acacia Collective. It puts the full canon of strata legislation and regulations, from every state and territory, in a committee's hands: current, and ready to question in plain English, with a real Acacia person always one step away. I can build one around what your business knows.
Talk about yours
The other side of the table
A committee deciding whether to change strata managers is weighing advice from the people the decision is about. The law that settles most of their questions is public, but it is long, written for lawyers, and it changes.
Acacia Collective is owned by its members, and it wants every member to know where they stand. Canopy makes that something a committee can use, at any hour.
From first inkling to membership
1
Consideration
The first sense that something should change, and room to explore it.
2
Evaluation
What Acacia is, how membership works, and what the agreement says.
3
Decision
Taking the case to the committee and running the vote.
4
Commitment
The committee says yes, and the agreement follows.
5
Transition
Notice to the outgoing manager, with records and funds chased on the owners' behalf.
6
Onboarding
Getting set up, with every step in view.

Happily under the canopy.
Canopy keeps each state's and territory's law apart, and asks where you are when it does not know, so the answer is the law that applies to your building.
For South Australian committees, it also carries the paperwork that makes a switch feel adversarial. The termination letter and the handover checklist are drafted for them, never left to them alone.
Canopy is built for membership organisations in a specialist field. Strata and community title are Acacia's.

What yours would know
Associations, co-operatives and professional bodies all hold knowledge their members would value having directly. A system can give it to every member in full, at the same standard, with your people a step away for what needs them.
I build the working system with your team, hand over every login, and come back when you ask.
