Property Management System

Collect rent on time and know the state of every unit

A property system for landlords and agents managing residential or commercial units, from one building to a full portfolio.

If you manage property, your phone never stops. One tenant says they paid last week, another has a leaking tap, the landlord wants to know why the money is short, and you are scrolling through M-Pesa messages trying to work out who has paid. With a notebook or a spreadsheet, arrears build up before you notice.

It does not have to feel like chasing. We build property systems that invoice tenants automatically, match each payment to the right unit as it arrives and give every owner a clear statement at the end of the month, so you can manage more units with less running around.

It suits landlords, property agents, estate managers and housing developers, with residential, commercial or mixed property.

Rent collection that runs itself

  • Receive M-Pesa and bank payments matched to the unit
  • Send receipts and reminders by SMS
  • Apply penalties for late payment where your lease allows
  • See who has paid and who has not, at any moment

Utilities billed fairly

Record meter readings and bill each tenant for what they actually used.

With utility billing you can:

  • Capture water and electricity meter readings
  • Bill per unit or share a common charge
  • Put utilities on the same invoice as rent
  • Keep a reading history for every unit
Utilities billed fairly

Maintenance that gets closed out

A request is logged, assigned and followed until the work is done and its cost is recorded.

For repairs and maintenance you can:

  • Log requests against a unit
  • Assign work to staff or contractors
  • Record the cost against the property
  • Keep the tenant updated on progress
  • See repair history for every unit

Clear statements for every owner

Owners want to know what came in, what went out and what they are being paid. Give them that without building it by hand.

For each landlord you can:

  • Produce a monthly statement of rent, expenses and commission
  • Record remittances paid to the owner
  • Track deposits held on their behalf
  • Report on arrears and vacancies in their property
Clear statements for every owner

Your whole portfolio under control

Whether you manage ten units or a thousand, you see them in one place and decide who on your team can do what.

From the office you can:

  • See all properties on one dashboard
  • Give caretakers, agents and accountants their own access
  • Record expenses per property
  • Compare performance across buildings
