Multifamily property management operator across 60,000+ residents
CWS operates a portfolio of apartment communities serving over 60,000 residents with a 500+ person team spread across the country. The tech stack is dominated by property-management-specific tools (Yardi) and legacy document/reporting infrastructure (Laserfiche, SQL Server Reporting Services, DocuSign). Active hiring skews heavily toward operations roles—particularly community and maintenance directors—while concurrent projects in document workflow and BI tooling (Power BI exploration, SSRS improvement) signal operational scaling challenges around data visibility and process efficiency.
