How the Silvers saved 10–20 hours a week by modernizing operations with DoorLoop

A father–son team ready to move beyond manual work

When Brian joined his father Bob at the Bravitas Group, he stepped into a business rich with purpose but struggling to keep pace with its own growth. Their portfolio of architecturally interesting redeveloped buildings was expanding, yet the back-office operations were stuck in an era of manual files and disconnected processes.

“Everything was done by stones and sticks. All our data was spread on spreadsheets. We didn’t have access to everything. We lost stuff.”

Running 135 units across eight buildings required precision. Instead, they were juggling paper leases, binder archives, manually processed invoices, and over a hundred checks each month. Responsibilities were split across multiple people—one for accounts payable, another for receivables, another for rent invoicing—and nothing lived in one place.

As they grew, these gaps became more than an inconvenience. They slowed decision-making, created risk, and made it difficult for father and son to operate as one aligned team.

They needed modern software that could centralize their work, protect their data, and help them operate like the polished company they were becoming.

The turn toward modern management

Bob and Brian discovered DoorLoop while searching for software that could integrate with QuickBooks and replace their manual processes. Immediately, they felt its intuitiveness.

“It looked new, clean, and was very easy to navigate compared to the other options. Those just seemed outdated.”

Switching from a world of spreadsheets to a fully digital workflow required a partner they could trust, not just a tool. The onboarding experience reinforced that trust.

“Our experience with the sales and onboarding teams has been a 10. Everything they promised was delivered, and their response time was super quick.”

With DoorLoop, they finally had a single source of truth. Their team could now look at the same information at the same time—a marked shift from the fragmented workflow they navigated before. Finally, they had a modern software worthy of the buildings they developed.

Dramatically less manual work and a business that finally felt in sync

The shift was immediate. With automated processes and real-time data accuracy, Bob and Brian reclaimed hours each week that previously disappeared into manual tasks.

“DoorLoop helps us save about 10 to 20 hours a week. It’s much easier to work as a team and make sure everyone’s looking at the same data.”

For Bob, the transformation showed up in the details: accuracy, speed, and clarity. Their monthly financial reviews—once slow and fragmented—became fast and transparent.

“Every month we review our P&Ls, and now—within seconds—I can drill down, get the invoice, and have the answers without bothering anyone. A huge time saver for all of us.”

DoorLoop elevated how their company appeared to everyone, including tenants. More importantly, they could act and feel like the thriving company they dreamed of running together.

“Having DoorLoop makes us look like a real professional company. Our tenants have a much better experience, and all our data is in one place. What could be better than that?”
