5 Reasons You Need Online Solutions for Apartment Management

Author: Parag Shah

With cities in India becoming homes to millions of new residents each year; and bigger housing projects to shelter this massive population growth, facility management companies and housing society managers have had to beef up their game drastically.

Today, it is almost impossible to imagine proper apartment management without an online solution to help out! Here are the top 5 reasons to get such software solutions -

  1. To manage any housing community in India, transparent communication between residents and the people in charge of regular tasks like maintenance and repairs is vital. Online apartment management solutions help integrate communications at all levels. As more people join a housing society, such a single point of communication makes it easier for the residents to connect and be more interactive as a society. While the individual home owners can easily inform the management of their needs, information like service dates and maintenance schedules are easily conveyed to the residents.
  2. In cities across India, it is increasingly important for housing communities to be more aware of residents' identities and keep tabs. These solutions help maintain better data records and keep ready information on all residents for security purposes. With increasing demand from civil authorities on housing societies to maintain critical data on residents; and concerns of securing such sensitive data better, a software solution is the most practical option today. The software ensures that only the right people have access to such sensitive private information, but the data is readily available when sought for.
  3. Transparent billing is another critically important factor when investing in a software solution for apartment management. From the smallest repairs done in individual flats, to major repairs that require involvement of the entire community, the application ensures more transparent billing and clear monetary records for all parties involved!
  4. When a new family moves into a housing complex or residential community in a big city; their interaction and involvement as an integral part of that social circle becomes difficult. With Indian families regularly migrating because of work, and cities becoming more cosmopolitan over time, socialization is vital to build a community network. If the society has a software application that helps network the community, it becomes easier for new residents to get introduced to their neighbors, and hence create more unified communities.
  5. Apart from the security aspect of managing detailed information about residents, a proper software solution for smoother apartment management also provides better co-ordination and communication during times of crisis. If there is a fire or some other emergency situation, the application allows a residential complex's community to manage and organize rescue efforts, and organize disaster management more smoothly.
