What is the Engrain + Fortress OS integration?
Engrain makes SightMap, an interactive map of your community that shows unit availability and pricing in place. A prospect sees which units are open, where they sit in the building, and what they cost. The same maps handle wayfinding and support live, self-guided and AI-guided tours.
Key takeaways
Prospects see availability and pricing on a map of the actual building.
The same maps support live, self-guided and AI-guided touring.
Portfolio-level views turn occupancy data into something a person can read.
How does Engrain work with Fortress OS?
Fortress OS sits underneath your stack as the operating layer. When something changes in Engrain, Fortress picks it up and pushes it to the other systems that care. No double entry. No end-of-month reconciling. No spreadsheets stitching things together.
What data flows between the two?
The exact fields depend on the leasing use case. The goal is simple: both systems show the same truth. Records, statuses, and key events stay in sync. Your team is not the human glue between them.
Who handles the setup?
Our integrations team handles documentation exchange, API keys, and end-to-end testing. Most Engrain connections go live in a few weeks. You can request a setup any time.
Why should you connect Engrain to Fortress OS?
A list of available units tells a prospect nothing about whether the unit faces the parking lot. A map answers the questions people ask on a tour before they book the tour, which means the tours your team runs are with prospects who already like the location.
What changes once you connect Engrain?
Same leasing tool. Different day-to-day for your team.
| Daily task | Without the integration | With Fortress OS + Engrain |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping records in sync | Copy-paste between tabs, hope you got the numbers right. | Records match across both systems on their own. |
| End-of-month reconciling | Spreadsheet exports, manual cleanup, late nights. | Numbers already line up. Close the month, go home. |
| Onboarding new properties | Manual setup in Engrain and every other system. | Fortress provisions the connection so new sites pick it up. |
| Answering “what’s the truth?” | Open three tabs, compare, guess which one is current. | One source of truth, kept fresh by Fortress. |

What is SightMap?
An interactive map of a community that shows real-time occupancy, availability and pricing at unit level, so a prospect can see where a unit sits before they visit.

Does it support self-guided tours?
Yes. SightMap supports live, self-guided and AI-guided touring, and integrates with virtual tour providers for unit-level walkthroughs.
