Management System
Modern real estate management requires lots of automation and overall
optimal technological approaches to keep everything stable and achieve
the best results. In terms of such an increasingly developing field,
it’s practically impossible to imagine efficient realty management
without sufficient tools or, what’s better, a whole dedicated system.
The client that came to us to get exactly such a system perfectly
realized the importance of digitalization in professional real estate
management.
Client`s goals
The client we had a pleasure to work with manages about 50-60 realty objects in Hong Kong on a regular basis. The sphere of his management was becoming increasingly complex. Already using certain tools for keeping everything afloat, he was looking for an all-in-one solution that would accessibly combine and improve all his existing management capabilities.
Challenge
Our ultimate task was to take a bunch of essential daily realty routine management capabilities the client had already been using and “cram” them into a single comprehensive system. From the very beginning, we had realized that there had to be lots of programming and design involved. That included basic software design, frontend/backend development, connection of database, modules and cloud services, etc.
Solution
We set things off by thoroughly analyzing all the tools the client and his staff had already been using in their daily property management. The resulted analysis had given us an idea of what major “pillar” components should be implemented, which included:
- A tenant registration interface;
- A tenant accommodation support interface;
- A property and finance management interface.
All in all, we needed to represent these user journeys visually and functionally via an intuitive all-in-one interface. All of that, of course, had to be realized in the most accessible and high-performance way possible.
Payments
A convenient tracking interface for invoices and payments with filters and an ability to link separate transactions to particular contacts and lease records within the system.
Property
The client can easily add new properties and specify all the underlying info, including accommodation type, apartment size, bed size, floor plan, door code, WiFi password, inventory, etc.
Leasing
Once the deal with a tenant is made, this feature can be used to create a calendar-bound lease and initiate an automated email with all details on property, apartment, and lease a tenant gets before the check-in date.
Sales pipeline
A feature for subsequently moving a deal through a sales pipeline that helps to schedule apartment viewings by syncing up with Google calendar and sending tenants automated email notifications about upcoming visits.
Contacts
A special tenant management contact list where prospects can be registered as tenants for further monitoring and support or grouped for further marketing newsletter.
Features
Based on the above essential component goals, we’d implemented the following management features one by one based on the specialized software system created from scratch.

Results
Tenafy is a custom management system that combines the powers of CRM, sales pipeline, property and room management, tracking of invoices and payments, and accounting capabilities. All this is accessed via convenient navigation to process contacts individually, group contacts, and keep all related data in check - all this and more in one solution.
Ultimately, Tenafy allows the client to avoid a huge number of human-factor mistakes due to the simple yet efficient interface and streamline the fundamental business processes. The system has already allowed the client to support 10% more properties without the need to hire any additional staff, which means to us that the job was well done
