MGCOne is a paid online platform and marketplace for community associations, connecting them with management companies and service providers. It runs on the web and Android, with mobile apps and dedicated portals for homeowners, tenants, board and committee members, managers, accountants, vendors, attorneys, auditors, maintenance staff, and security personnel. Resident portals support community updates, communication with managers, amenity reservations, and visitor or delivery management. Listed operations include online dues and other payments, maintenance requests and work orders, violation and amenity management, package tracking, visitor management, ballots, broadcasts, surveys, task management, document libraries, e-signing, meetings, reports, vendor portals, and bidding or RFP work. Association accounting and document storage are included. Associations own their data and can grant incoming providers access through the marketplace during transitions. Pricing is on request. MGCOne says it integrates with accounting software and other industry providers, without naming them on the opened page.
