Property & Community Management

Solutions

One operational record for dues, shared maintenance, vendors, and resident communication — replacing spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, and paper files.

Who it's for

Property management companies, owners associations, and operators of residential or mixed-use communities in Saudi Arabia and the GCC.

Operational challenges

  • Dues collection and billing tracked across spreadsheets, with no clear view of who has and hasn't paid.
  • Shared maintenance requests reported by phone or WhatsApp, with no record of status or resolution time.
  • Vendor coordination handled ad hoc, so accountability for completed work is hard to establish.
  • Resident complaints, approvals, and documents scattered across email, paper, and personal devices.

Workflows covered

  • Dues and billing cycles, including reminders and payment reconciliation
  • Maintenance request intake, dispatch, and closure
  • Vendor work orders and payment tracking
  • Resident approvals and community-wide communication
  • Document and contract management
  • Complaint logging and resolution tracking

Roles and departments involved

  • Property/community manager
  • Owners association board
  • Maintenance coordinator
  • Finance and billing staff
  • Vendors and contractors
  • Residents

  • Operational reporting for boards and management

ERP and integration approach

Built to connect to Odoo (or an existing ERP) for accounting, invoicing, and payment reconciliation, with vendor purchase orders and asset registers sitting on the same operational core — so dues and maintenance data doesn't live in a separate silo from the books.

Security and data considerations

Resident and financial data is scoped by role — board members, management staff, and vendors see only what their role requires. Payment records carry an audit trail, and access to unit-level resident information is restricted by default.

Implementation approach

  1. 01Map the current dues, maintenance, and vendor process, including where records already live
  2. 02Migrate existing resident, unit, and dues data instead of starting from zero
  3. 03Onboard vendors and configure maintenance workflows for the specific community
  4. 04Roll out per building or community in phases, starting with the highest-friction process
  5. 05Connect billing to accounting once the operational workflow is stable

Frequently asked questions

Can this replace our existing accounting system?

No — it's designed to connect to your accounting system (such as Odoo) rather than replace it, so billing and dues data flows into the books you already reconcile.

Can one account manage multiple communities or buildings?

Yes — the platform is built to separate data by community or building while keeping vendor and reporting tools shared across a portfolio.

How is resident information protected?

Access is role-based by default, and unit-level personal information is visible only to the roles that need it for billing, maintenance, or approvals.
