Address Setup

  • Company Name: Enter your company name in both Arabic and English.

  • Area Management: Add or edit cities and areas as needed. You can add new areas or even entire countries if your portfolio is international.

Master Files Configuration

Property Features

  • Define Features: Add features relevant to buildings or villas (e.g., swimming pool, gym).

  • Property Types: Set up types such as community, building, block, villa, flat, office, shop, showroom, land, or parking. Assign icons for easy identification.

  • Models & Categories: Add unit models (e.g., 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, studio) and categories (e.g., one bathroom, two bathrooms, with/without balcony).

  • Views & Usage: Specify available views (e.g., sea view) and usage types (residential, commercial, mixed).

  • Parking, Filing, and Meters: Define parking types, filing rooms, and utility meters (electricity, water) for detailed property records and utility billing.

  • Contract Types & Relations: Set contract types (leasing, brokerage, maintenance, administration) and define contract relations (e.g., resident, buyer, family member).

Adding Properties and Units

Step 1: Add a Building or Block

  • Navigate to Property Setup: Go to the property inventory and select the area where you want to add a property.

  • Add Building/Block: Click “Add,” select “Building” or “Block,” and enter the property name (e.g., Falcon Tower A1). Optionally, add the Arabic name.

  • Assign Owner/Manager: Search for an existing contact or add a new one. Use the Emirates ID reader in the UAE for automatic data entry.

  • Ownership Type: Specify if the property is owned, purchased, managed, or under brokerage.

Step 2: Add Units (Flats, Offices, Shops, Villas)

  • Select Building: Click on the building you just created, then click “New” to add a unit (flat, office, shop, showroom, villa).

  • Unit Details: Enter unit number, model, category, view, area, government numbers, bond numbers, meters, and rent value. Setting a rent value here will make it fixed for contracts; leaving it blank allows flexibility per contract.

  • Bulk Generation: Use the “Generate” feature to create multiple units across floors (e.g., 101, 201, 301) in seconds, saving significant time for large buildings.

  • Status & Color Coding: Units are color-coded by status (vacant, booked, occupied) for quick identification in the property search.

Property Search and Management

  • Advanced Search: Filter properties by status, type, price, area, model, category, or owner. Easily find vacant units, filter by building, or search by specific criteria.

  • Map View: Visualize your property portfolio on a map, with color-coded statuses for quick overview.

  • Availability List: Export lists of available units to Excel for sharing with brokers or clients.

Contract and Booking Integration

  • Create Contracts or Bookings: Directly from the property search or setup screens, initiate new contracts or bookings for any unit.

  • Payment and Revenue Management: Set up installments, commissions, and security deposits. The system calculates and tracks payments, updating unit status automatically.

  • Resident and Relation Tracking: Add residents or related parties (e.g., family members) to contracts for comprehensive records.

Best Practices for Property Setup

  • Complete Mandatory Fields: Always fill in required fields (highlighted in blue or color) to ensure data integrity.

  • Use Bulk Generation: For large buildings, use the generate feature to save time and reduce manual errors.

  • Keep Master Files Updated: Regularly review and update property types, features, and other master data as your portfolio evolves.

  • Leverage Attachments: Store all relevant documents and images within each property or unit record for easy retrieval.
