Estates

Know who has paid. Before the gate opens.

Estates keeps the house register, the levies and the gate in one place. Exco see who owes. The gateman sees green or red the moment a car pulls up.

  • Works at the gate with no network
  • Android app, and a web app for iPhone
  • Made for Nigerian estates and plates

One register. Three jobs done properly.

1

Map every plot

Draw plots on satellite imagery by tapping corners, or walk the boundary with GPS. Record status, house type, owners, tenants and cars. Bring in KML or GeoJSON you already have.

  • Six plot statuses, from open land to occupied
  • Split and merge plots as the estate changes
  • Colour the map by status or by payment
2

Bill and collect

Set the security levy, service charge and waste fee once. Charges raise themselves each period. Record cash and transfers, hand over a numbered receipt, and see arrears largest first.

  • Monthly, quarterly, yearly or one-off
  • Billed per unit or per plot
  • WhatsApp reminders, written for you
3

Run the gate

Point the phone at a number plate or a windscreen sticker. A full-screen green or red names the house and the resident. It works with no network and logs every check.

  • Forgives O/0, I/1 and B/8 misreads
  • Visitor codes issued by residents
  • Every check kept in the gate log

Red means flag and record. What happens next is your estate's rule.

Some estates let the car in and follow up. Some hold it and call the office. Some turn it back. You choose once in settings, the gateman sees it on every red, and whatever they do is logged with their name.

FlagLet the car in, record it, follow up later.
CallHold at the gate and ring the estate office.
RefuseTurn the car back unless the office clears it.

Questions estates ask

Does the gate work when the network is down?

Yes. The Android app keeps the register and the paid list on the phone, checks plates there, and sends the gate log when the network returns. The screen always shows how old its paid list is.

What if the camera misreads a plate?

Plates are compared in a way that forgives the usual mix-ups: O and 0, I and 1, B and 8, S and 5. If a plate is one character out, the gateman is shown the nearest cars to pick from instead of being given a wrong answer. They can also type the plate or scan the sticker.

Is a car refused automatically when a house owes?

No. Red always flags and records. Whether the car is let in, held or turned back is a setting each estate chooses, and the gateman can still use judgement on the day. What they did is logged.

Can residents pay inside the app?

Today the estate records cash and bank transfers and issues receipts. The ledger is already built so a dedicated bank account number per house (Paystack or Flutterwave) can be switched on, after which transfers post themselves.

We already have a list in Excel and a layout drawing. Do we start again?

No. Plot outlines come in from KML or GeoJSON, and arrears are brought forward as opening charges. We help with the first import.

Who can see residents' phone numbers?

Estate admins and exco. Gate phones carry plates, house labels, resident names and a paid or owing flag only: no phone numbers and no amounts. Every change is written to an activity log.

Do iPhone users need an app?

No. Residents and exco use the web app in Safari and can add it to the home screen. Camera plate scanning and offline gate checks are in the Android app.
