FRONTSTEPS History
Humble Beginnings
FRONTSTEPS began with a group of industry pioneers—AtHomeNet, AssociationVoice, Caliber, Capsure, and DwellingLive—each focused on solving core challenges for community associations. From affordable HOA websites and intuitive accounting software to cutting-edge visitor management and access control, these companies built trusted, purpose-driven tools. Their shared focus on innovation, service, and simplicity laid the foundation for what would eventually become the integrated FRONTSTEPS platform.

Building Momentum
The community management software space rapidly gained momentum as leading platforms and security solutions came together under one roof. AtHomeNet reached over a million homes, highlighting the growing demand for digital tools. Private equity firms consolidated the market by uniting top names like Association Voice, AtHomeNet, CapSure, and DwellingLive, while Evercondo introduced mobile-friendly solutions for high-rise communities. This strategic alignment set the stage for continued growth and innovation.
