ABOUT US

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.

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.

K1 brought together the leading names in community portals and security, acquiring Association Voice, AtHomeNet, CapSure, and DwellingLive to create a comprehensive platform for property and community management. Around the same time, Evercondo entered the market, offering mobile-friendly tools for condominium and high-rise communities. This wave of consolidation and innovation positioned the business for its next phase of growth under new ownership.

FRONTSTEPS unified operations, security, and resident services into a single, mobile-first platform to simplify community management. Acquisitions like Evercondo and Caliber expanded its reach and added industry-leading security and accounting tools. The company also introduced integrated payments, visitor management, and customizable mobile apps, providing residents and managers with a seamless, branded experience.

FRONTSTEPS continued its growth with the launch of co-branded mobile apps, giving communities a personalized, feature-rich experience without added development costs. A new era began with the appointment of SaaS veteran Matt DeWolf as CEO, driving innovation and expansion. The company introduced AP Automation to simplify invoice processing and launched Suite Manager, unifying all technologies into one seamless, mobile-first platform. FRONTSTEPS’ commitment to culture and innovation earned it a spot on Built In’s Best Places to Work for the fifth year running.
