Property Management App: Service Charges, Maintenance and Announcements

Why property management cannot run on phone calls and Excel

Running a residential complex means handling service charge collection, shared cost allocation, maintenance tracking, staff management and communication with hundreds of residents all at the same time. Much of this is still done with Excel spreadsheets, notices pinned to a board and WhatsApp groups that grow until they get out of control. The result is lost requests, “I never saw the announcement” objections and a lack of trust around service charge balances.

What management teams struggle with most

  • Service charge and balance transparency: Residents cannot see what they owe or whether their payment has been recorded, so management answers the same questions every month.
  • Lost maintenance requests: A lift fault, water leak or lighting failure is reported by phone, and there is no way to track who it was passed to or when it was fixed.
  • Scattered communication: WhatsApp groups turn into arguments, and important announcements get lost in the flood of messages.
  • Cost allocation: Heating, capital equipment or special renovation costs are split by ownership share or floor area, calculated by hand.
  • Multiple complexes: Professional management companies have to manage separate files and groups for every complex.

360 Soft meets these needs with a system made up of a management panel and a mobile app for residents. The app is developed to fit your complex’s structure as part of our mobile app development and enterprise portal and management systems services.

Property management app modules

A structure that scales from a single building to a management company with many complexes.

Complex, Block and Unit Structure

Ownership share, floor area, owner and tenant details for every unit. Manage several complexes from one panel.

Service Charges and Cost Allocation

Monthly service charge billing, cost allocation by ownership share or floor area, arrears tracking and a statement of account for each resident.

Collections and Payments

In-app payment via virtual POS integration, bank transaction matching or recording of cash collections; receipts are generated automatically.

Resident Mobile App

Residents see their balance, payments, announcements and the requests they have opened. Built for iOS and Android from a single codebase.

Maintenance and Service Requests

Requests with photos, automatic assignment by category, status tracking and sign-off on completion. Requests such as booking shared facilities are handled in the same module.

Announcements, Polls and Documents

Targeted announcements by block or role, read receipts, online polls and sharing of documents such as the minutes book and budget.

Staff and Service Tracking

Task lists for security, cleaning and technical staff; work orders and cost records for outside service companies.

WhatsApp and Automatic Reminders

Service charge reminders, maintenance status updates and urgent announcements are sent via the WhatsApp Business API using n8n flows.

User roles and permissions table - Property Management App: Service Charges, Maintenance and Announcements

User roles and permissions table

Permissions can be edited from the panel; this table shows a typical setup.
User What they see What they can do
Manager / Management Company All complexes, collection status, open requests, reports Billing, cost allocation, announcements, user and permission management
Owner Balances and payments for their own units, announcements, documents Pay, open requests, take part in polls
Tenant Charges assigned to them, announcements Pay, report faults, make bookings
Technical Staff Work orders assigned to them Update status, add photos and notes
Auditor Income and expense records and documents (read-only) Run reports

Panel, API and mobile app

Technical structure and integrations

The system consists of a web panel running on a cloud server, a REST API connected to it and a mobile app that talks through that API. In a multi-complex setup each complex’s data is logically separated, and management company staff see only the complexes they are authorised for. If you keep your accounting records in separate software, billing and collection data can be carried there via API integration or file transfer.

Since WhatsApp is usually the most effective channel for reaching residents, service charge reminders and maintenance status notifications can be automated with n8n and WhatsApp chatbot infrastructure. An AI chatbot that pulls the answer from the system when a resident writes “how much do I owe?” or “what is the status of my request?” can also be added, cutting down the repetitive questions that reach the management office.

Implementation process - Property Management App: Service Charges, Maintenance and Announcements

Implementation process

A gradual transition without losing your existing data.

01

Structure and Rule Analysis

The complex, block and unit structure, service charge and cost allocation rules, and the state of existing records are mapped out.

02

Scope and Fixed Quote

The required modules, roles and integrations are set down as a written scope, and a fixed-price proposal is provided.

03

Development and Data Migration

The panel and mobile app are developed; the existing resident list and outstanding balances are imported from Excel.

04

Pilot Block

Live use starts with one block or one complex, and screens are improved based on resident feedback.

05

Store Release and Support

The app is published on the App Store and Google Play, invitations are sent to all residents, and maintenance support continues.

A proposal tailored to your complex

If the complex also needs a promotional site or an information site open to residents, it can be connected to the same infrastructure through our corporate web design service.

For a single apartment building, an off-the-shelf product is often enough. A custom app makes sense for professional management companies running several complexes, for those who want to offer an app under their own brand, and for complex block/unit structures, special cost-allocation rules or integration with existing accounting and access-control systems. We make that call honestly with you during the discovery call.

The app can take online payments by connecting to the virtual POS (online card payment) infrastructure of the bank or licensed payment institution that management works with. The payment agreement and commission terms are between management and the payment provider; we handle the technical integration. If online payment is not wanted, it also works with bank transfer matching or manual entry of collections.

Yes. In every unit, the owner and the tenant are defined as separate people. Who is charged for cost items such as service charges and capital equipment is set as a rule, and the recipients of announcements can also be chosen based on these roles.

Residents’ names, phone numbers and flat details are visible only to authorised management users; residents cannot see each other’s contact details. Permission levels, audit logs and encrypted connections are set up by default. Under KVKK (Turkey’s data protection law) and similar regulations elsewhere, the content of the privacy notice and consent texts is the responsibility of management as the data controller; the app provides space to display these texts and record consent.

When a resident opens a request with a photo, the record is assigned by category to the relevant technical staff member or an outside service company. The assignee sees the job on their own screen, updates its status and adds a photo on completion. The resident is notified at every step. If desired, requests can also be opened via WhatsApp.

It varies with the number of complexes, the number of units, the modules required and the integrations. A fixed-price proposal tailored to your project is sent within 24 hours.
