Development of a Scalable Building Management System with Real-Time Resident and Facility Communication

Property management organizations face significant inefficiencies due to fragmented communication channels, manual scheduling, and limited real-time data sharing, leading to decreased resident satisfaction and slower workflows. Handling large building complexes with potentially hundreds of residents requires a reliable, high-performance system capable of supporting seamless communication, scheduling, and information management without compromising responsiveness or scalability.

A mid-sized property management company managing multiple residential or commercial buildings, seeking to enhance communication, operational efficiency, and resident satisfaction through an integrated digital platform.

• Implement a comprehensive building management system featuring portals for residents, owners, and managers to streamline communication and operational processes.
• Achieve high system performance and scalability to support buildings of various sizes with hundreds of residents, ensuring minimal response times and latency (target response time <0.3s, latency <50ms).
• Enhance resident experience and enable faster workflows, aiming for at least an 30-32% improvement in resident satisfaction scores within the first year.
• Support real-time communication via multiple channels, including digital noticeboards, bulk emails, and SMS messaging campaigns.
• Automate scheduling and management of move-in/move-out bookings, building events, and access control for security and convenience.
• Limit customer churn to below 15% in the first operating year.
• Establish a robust and secure storage and file management system for building documentation and resident records.

• Resident Portal with digital noticeboard, move-in/move-out booking, billing management, issue reporting, and access to building documentation.
• Management Portal for building owners/managers providing bulk email/SMS communication, digital noticeboard, statistical dashboards, billing controls, move-in/move-out registers, building information database, and event/calendar management.
