## Our Story

In 2020, property managers across the country were struggling to keep up with maintenance due to the labor shortage and supply chain disruptions. Enter Lula, whose vendor network and sourcing solutions provided relief for residents and managers all over. The issues that plagued the industry for years were all brought to light when the world shut down due to the pandemic. This disruption provided Lula with a path to reinvent property maintenance.

Once we found where we were most needed and fully committed to servicing rental properties, our core business skyrocketed. In the last 5 years, we’ve grown to nearly 100 employees, 10x our revenue, expanded to nearly 50 markets (and growing), were named the top work order management solution of 2023, and have ranked as an Inc 500 fastest-growing company two years consecutively.
