Dane Wobbe Owner & CEO , Innsbrook Vacations ## Explore the Topkey + BrightSide Integration Owner Expenses ### Push owner expenses without retyping. Topkey turns any card charge or expense into a BrightSide work order, with an invoice for the cost and the marked-up amount to bill the owner, or adds it to a work order that is already open. The unit, contractor, and work order type carry over, one at a time or in bulk, and anything already sent is skipped automatically so nothing is entered twice. Automated Receipts ### Document and justify every owner expense. When expenses are sent from Topkey to BrightSide, receipts and photos are attached to the work order automatically, so approvers can see exactly what was purchased without chasing down backups. The result is faster approvals, fewer questions, and cleaner books at month-end. Unit Sync ### Every expense tied to the right unit. Topkey syncs your units and contractors directly from BrightSide, along with your work order types, statuses, and priorities, so every expense in Topkey can be tagged to the exact unit without maintaining separate lists. Syncs run automatically twice a day, or any time you need them. Bulk Contractor Payments ### Process payables faster. Log contractor bills in Topkey, assign them to BrightSide units, and pay contractors in bulk via ACH or check. Your BrightSide contractors sync into Topkey, so every payment goes to the right contractor and your contractor list stays consistent across both systems. Breezeway Integration ### Turn Breezeway tasks into BrightSide work orders. Pull completed or selected Breezeway tasks into Topkey with the right unit context. When Breezeway and BrightSide are both connected, Topkey can send eligible Breezeway work orders to BrightSide, including invoice details and available photos. Review and approve in one place so only the work you intend to bill moves forward. ## Topkey Success Stories customer spotlight ###### [How Lighthouse Vacation Rentals Cut Expense Management Work by 80%](https://topkey.io/customer-stories/how-lighthouse-vacation-rentals-cut-expense-management-work-by-80) $6,000 Recovered monthly in previously missed owner reimbursements. 80% reduction From 20 hours to 4 hours per month managing expenses.
