BoardRecord vs Daisy
Daisy is a full-service managing agent that runs your building. BoardRecord is a capital-project record for the building — a different tool for a different job that works no matter who manages the building.
Daisy is a modern, full-service managing agent for NYC condos, co-ops, and HOAs. It pairs a dedicated team with its own operating system to run finances, daily operations, capital projects like FISP and Local Law 97, and resident life. Hiring a managing agent is a management decision — a different question from adding a tool.
BoardRecord is not a managing agent and employs no onsite staff. It is a board-owned capital-project record: vendors keep using email, and the board automatically gets a searchable, cited, exportable timeline of every bid, contract, and decision — plus a tamper-evident counsel and compliance export. It works whether you self-manage, use a traditional managing agent, or hire a full-service firm like Daisy, and the record belongs to the board and travels with the building across any change in management.

|---|---|---|
| Primary use | Capital-project record | Full-service building management |
| Built for | Boards & managing agents | Boards outsourcing management |

Hiring a full-service manager like Daisy is a management decision, not a software one. BoardRecord gives the board its own portable, searchable capital-project record — independent of who manages the building.
Common questions
Is BoardRecord an alternative to Daisy?
Not exactly — they are different categories. Daisy is a full-service managing agent (a team plus software) that runs your building end to end, primarily in NYC. BoardRecord is a capital-project record for the building, quoted per building. Deciding whether to outsource management is a Daisy question; wanting the board to own a searchable, defensible record of its capital projects is a BoardRecord one — alongside whatever management you choose.
If Daisy manages our building, do we still need BoardRecord?
You may not — Daisy bundles its own dashboard and team. Some boards still add BoardRecord so the capital-project record — every email, file, and decision — stays with the building, whoever manages it.
Does BoardRecord replace our management company?
No. BoardRecord has no onsite staff and does not run daily operations, finances, or resident services. It captures capital-project correspondence and documents into a cited, searchable record and, on Board Pro, routes vendor invoices through board approvals to ACH payment. For full-service management you hire a managing agent; for a board-owned project record you add BoardRecord.
