Make your life easy with housing societies’ software

Are you living in a society and finding it difficult to manage bills, accounts, tax, expenditure, vendors and legal documents? You might not have to worry anymore. Several housing society management softwares are available in the market that provide end-to-end services and help you to manage the day-to-day society work from the office, while travelling or holidaying using a laptop, tablet or a smart phone.

Today, a number of people prefer to live in co-operative housing societies or integrated townships. With time, the average size of these societies is becoming bigger. More the number of flats or residents, the harder it is to manage them.

Gokul Singh, co-founder and director at Eukleia Technologies Pvt Ltd says, “Such software creates a framework that aids Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) to manage societies. Residents can get timely reminders for payments, on their cell phones and e-mails. This reduces dependence on manpower while the issues are resolved quickly.”

Keval Dhone, founding chairman and managing director, Cloud Society says, “These software applications bring transparency to the system. Not only do they save time and make work easy but the efficiency level also increases, reducing the workload.”

Jay Kinker, founder and managing director of Mundrisoft Technologies says, “Generally, people living in societies don’t know who their neighbours are. With the software, you get to know who is a LIC Agent or knows cooking or is a teacher. It provides a platform for residents to communicate with each other which increases trust and enhances community living.”

Some common features include SMS and email alerts, online announcements, members list, useful contacts and documents, bills and payment due alerts, classifieds and event calendars.

How to use the software? Though they are user-friendly, people with little or no knowledge can face some difficulty at the initial stage. However, online services are available to help such people.

How safe are they? Every standard precautions and measures are taken to make sure the data remains secure. Use of cloud server, firewalls, HTTPs, Linux based software, bio-metric system, layered applications, skill scripting, MVC technology and a timely upgrade keep the procedure secure.

As for the price, some software applications are available for free while others charge yearly subscription fees.

“Currently, the Housing Society Management Software has a market of approximately Rs 1500 crore in India, which is increasing by 10 per cent every year,” says Dhone. With societies getting bigger and a pro-technology younger generation buying, the situation is expected to become better. However, buyers must carry out their due diligence and check the credentials and experience of companies before buying the software.
