Meet Rentsync
Rentsync is one of North America's foremost real estate technology platform companies. It helps property managers and landlords manage operations for multi-family properties. Its flagship platform streamlines listing syndication, lead management, and advertising campaigns and integrates with a range of property management and accounting platforms. Headquartered in Toronto, the company has grown from a web development company for the real estate sector in 2010 before maturing, establishing with the Rentals.ca Network, and merging with other businesses to offer its customers the best marketing and property management technology.
The Challenge
After acquiring six companies in 2020-2021, Rentsync faced fragmented infrastructure with different tech stacks running on various cloud and on-premise servers. The company struggled with unpredictable AWS costs, limited in-house cloud expertise, and needed to improve security and compliance while consolidating systems.
The Solution
DoiT assessed Rentsync's existing tech stacks and created a comprehensive roadmap for tech consolidation, cloud cost management, and security. DoiT helped optimize AWS infrastructure, implemented Terraform for policy-as-code, and provided Cloud Intelligence™ for enhanced visibility and cost management across both AWS and Google Cloud resources.
Results
- Achieved 22% reduction in cloud costs with Flexsave for Compute, exceeding the 15% goal
- Cut wasted engineering effort by approximately 10% monthly
- Saved an estimated 6 months on engineering projects through expert guidance
- Implemented governed multi-account AWS structure with AWS Control Tower
- Gained real-time cost visibility and predictable unit economics
Without DoiT, we would not be nearly as far along as we were if we were doing this ourselves. We have a good level of expertise here, but we don't know every single AWS product and what the best practices are. DoiT was able to help us with that. If we identify that we need to do something, but we aren't 100% sure how we can go to them and ask. It saves us time because we don't have to spend two weeks trying to research and trial everything.
Brandon Axtmann, Manager of IT & Cybersecurity at Rentsync
Enhanced Visibility and Cost Management
DoiT implemented more data visibility into Rentsync's systems through Cloud Intelligence™. Brandon explains: 'That was probably one of the most valuable things we got when we signed on with DoiT. We immediately got the ability to build dashboards. They give us just so much additional information about what's going on. For a smaller company like us, we are so focused on expenses. That has been just such a big bonus for us.' The comprehensive approach enabled Rentsync to see beyond immediate technical challenges and consider long-term implications.
What's Next
Rentsync plans to scale and expand into new markets, underpinned by governed multi-account AWS and real-time cost visibility, and significantly expand its product offerings with the strategic acquisitions it has made. With DoiT continuously supporting its cloud infrastructure, confidence to invest increases as technical barriers recede. The first implementation will be AWS Control Tower, with plans to move workloads into stable environments that meet compliance needs.

What they say
Partnership with DoiT is extremely significant. We've been able to grow significantly over the last year, mostly because we could reinvest our resources in new technologies instead of new internal resources.
Jason Hartin, CTO
On integrating DataHub, the DoiT team was very hands-on to the point where DoiT support put together the first ingestion script and pipeline to unlock us.
Kyle Espinola, Head of Platform Engineering
“PerfectScale gives us the confidence to automate Kubernetes optimization while letting our engineers focus on building what matters.”
Josh Zarrabi, Infrastructure Engineer
“Without PerfectScale by DoiT, I don't know how we would do it. We'd have to have twice the number of people on my team to stay on top of it. With PerfectScale, we can focus on the more strategic issues.”
David Adkins, Director of Software and Platform Engineering
Connecting IBM and AWS privately was the piece we needed to get right, and we wanted to move faster on it than we could on our own. DoiT worked through the options with us, found the subnet overlap that was breaking the routing, and made it stable. That unblocked everything else.
DevOps Lead, Software Projects
Attribute™'s platform is truly unique. We now have crystal-clear visibility into our cloud spend at the workload and tenant level, and that insight has already led to actionable savings and powerful insights as we further scale our service.
Paul White, VP of Engineering, Shasta Cloud
We have worked with DoiT for many years, and there has been an increasing number of capabilities and features in DoiT Cloud Intelligence. We've embedded features such as Cloud Analytics and Reports in our own FinOps processes, it's become core to what we do.
Martin Lee, Director of Operations
DoiT gave us the confidence to move from experimentation to production. They helped us understand the right way to build AI for the real world.
Milad Rezazadeh, CTO
Attribute™'s cost grouping technology took our cost visibility and allocation to a whole new level. Now, our teams are fully accountable for their budgets, significantly improving our cloud efficiency and helping us minimize unnecessary costs.
Eli Zilbershtein, Head of DevOps, Hippo
You can't tag a customer in a multi-tenant environment. Attribute™ finally shows us what each customer costs and what's driving those costs.
Omri Cohen, Director of Engineering, Platform
Attribute™'s data is truly unmatched. No other solution on the market could deliver the precise customer cost and usage profiles we needed in such a complex infrastructure. Within weeks, the data from Attribute™ transformed our understanding of cost structures, influencing key strategic decisions in pricing, renegotiations, and market positioning.
Jonathan Langer, COO, Claroty
Attribute™ simplified tracking customer costs in our multi-tenant environments. Customer cost measurement is now clear and standardized, and finance gets the business context they need. Integration was quick and required no changes.
Kfir Lippmann, CFO, Salt Security
Attribute™ translates complex cloud bills into actionable, business-centric insights that empower our engineering teams to take true ownership of their costs.
