What Urbanise does
Urbanise.com Limited (ASX: UBN) is an Australia-headquartered, publicly listed vertical SaaS company that builds cloud-based strata management and facilities management software for property and FM operators globally. Founded in 2006 and listed on the ASX in September 2014, the company operates two core platforms: Urbanise Strata, which manages 600,000+ residential and commercial strata lots with automated levy/arrears management, bank reconciliations, meeting management (via StrataVote), document management, and a resident portal; and Urbanise FM, which manages 2.2 million assets across reactive/planned maintenance, work orders, workforce scheduling, compliance, and mobile field operations. The platforms are 100% cloud-based on AWS infrastructure, ISO 27001 certified, and integrated with banking partners Macquarie Bank and (forthcoming) National Australia Bank via DPIS, plus analytics, communications, and accounting systems.
The business generates revenue primarily through recurring SaaS subscriptions — per-lot pricing for Urbanise Strata and enterprise agreements for Urbanise FM — with multi-year contracts contributing to contracted annual recurring revenue of $13.2M and H1 FY2026 revenue of $7.272M AUD, up 15.3% year-over-year. Customer segments include strata management firms and facility management operators as primary buyers, plus secondary verticals such as early learning, aged care, NDIS/disability services, energy and resources (notably Sodexo's 26+ Australian remote camps), and commercial property (Colliers). Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise sales targeting large operators, supplemented by self-serve demo funnels and local delivery/technical teams across APAC, UAE, Europe, and South Africa serving clients in 18 countries. Urbanise retains a net cash position of $12.5M with no material debt and targets operating cash flow breakeven by FY2027.

Urbanise competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- AppFolio: AppFolio offers cloud property management software for residential and commercial portfolios. It is a broader horizontal player but its workflow automation and tenant portals compete with Urbanise Strata's value proposition in adjacent markets.
- Buildium: Buildium provides SaaS property management software focused on smaller residential portfolios. It competes more broadly in the property management SaaS category where Urbanise Strata operates with a more specialised strata/owners-corporation focus.
Broad incumbents
- RealPage: RealPage provides cloud-based property management software for residential and commercial portfolios. It is adjacent to Urbanise Strata with overlap in multi-tenant property workflows, though focused on the US rental housing market.
- ServiceNow Field Service Management: ServiceNow's FSM and workplace modules target facilities, maintenance, and field operations at large enterprises. It is an emerging threat to Urbanise FM in cross-sell opportunities within large accounts seeking a single vendor for ITSM and FM.
- MRI Software: MRI Software is a large global provider of real estate and property management software. It competes with Urbanise in the strata/owners corporation and FM segments with a broader portfolio spanning residential, commercial, and public sector property workflows.
- Yardi Systems: Yardi is a leading property technology vendor serving real estate owners, operators, and facility managers with cloud-based software. It overlaps with Urbanise in multi-site facility and property management but serves a much broader enterprise market.
- IBM Maximo: IBM Maximo is an enterprise asset management and FM platform widely used in large industrial, energy, and resources settings. Urbanise FM competes against it for asset-heavy multi-site deployments such as Sodexo's remote camps.
Direct peers
- iOFFICE: iOFFICE delivers workplace and facility management software with maintenance, asset, and space management capabilities. It directly competes with Urbanise FM for mid-market customers seeking cloud-native CAFM functionality.
- Strata Master (PropertyIQ/Domus): Strata Master is a leading Australian strata management software vendor and the incumbent that MelbOC and other Urbanise Strata customers have migrated from. It is the most direct competitive comparable in the Australian strata software market.
- Planon: Planon is a specialised CAFM/IWMS vendor serving corporate real estate and facility management customers globally. It is a direct competitor to Urbanise FM for mid-market and enterprise FM software deals with similar maintenance, asset, and workforce modules.
