Overview

Propatize Resident App was designed to make living in managed communities easier and more connected. It helps residents pay bills, report issues, receive updates, access their estate securely, manage guest entries, and stay engaged with their community, all from one intuitive mobile platform. The goal was to empower residents with control, convenience, and seamless communication.

The Challenge

Residents often faced frustration when trying to reach management or track their requests. Common issues included:
Delays in maintenance response
Unclear payment processes and receipts
Missed announcements and updates
Insecure or inconvenient estate and guest access management
Lack of transparency and trust with management
Residents needed a secure, mobile-first solution to handle payments, communication, and access control effortlessly.

The Solution

The Propatize Resident App was designed as a central hub for everyday living.
Key design highlights:
Seamless payments: Pay rent, service charges, and dues securely with instant receipts.
Quick maintenance requests: Report issues with photos, track progress, and get real-time updates.
Community engagement: Read announcements, join discussions, and stay informed.
Direct communication: Message facility managers instantly for faster support.
Secure Access Control: Digital access codes for residents and guests to enter estates safely.
Mobile-first Experience: Designed for speed, clarity, and easy navigation.
The result is a smart, connected resident experience where payment, communication, access and operations flow seamlessly.
