DIRECT PMS VS YARDI

Switching from Yardi to Direct PMS

Yardi is commercial and institutional property management software. Direct PMS covers the same ground, plus the business lines Yardi-class tools were never built for — leasing, sales, caretaking and fit-outs on the same registry, ledger and calendar.

Yardi is an independent product and this page isn't affiliated with or reviewed by them. Comparisons below describe how Direct PMS is built, not an audited feature-by-feature breakdown of Yardi's current product — features and pricing change, so verify specifics on Yardi's own site before deciding.

Where Direct PMS is different

Right-sized, not dumbed down
WITH DIRECT

The discipline you need — deposits, arrears, SLAs, an auditable ledger — live in weeks, priced per unit.

YARDI-CLASS TOOLS

Enterprise implementations measured in quarters and five figures.

Cross-border portfolios
WITH DIRECT

Every money event carries its currency and an FX snapshot to your base currency; reports never shift retroactively.

YARDI-CLASS TOOLS

One currency per database, or a consolidation spreadsheet.

Property types included
WITH DIRECT

Shops, offices and plots are first-class property types in the same registry as everything else.

YARDI-CLASS TOOLS

Residential tools with 'office' shoehorned in.

What you get that Yardi doesn't cover

Direct PMS runs every business line on one registry — you only subscribe to the modules you use.

Leasing

Leases with deposits held on the ledger, monthly invoicing, arrears aging in the rent-roll matrix, notice and end-of-term flows that release the space automatically.

Caretaking

Work orders with priority and SLA, asset registers for plant and equipment, site staff attendance with vendor billing.

Property Sales

Dispositions and strata resales with commissions posting straight to the books.

Fitouts

Fit-out packages for incoming tenants — quote, approve, invoice.

Short Term Rentals

Auditoriums, event spaces and flexible suites can sell by the day.
