About Us
Real estate software, specified by real estate people.
We build the systems that run the property lifecycle, from the first feasibility model to the last instalment on a sold unit. Every product is specified and quality-assured by chartered valuers and asset managers, then engineered to institutional standards.
Who we are
The property-technology arm of Stread
We develop the systems that real estate teams across Africa use to appraise developments, operate portfolios, manage estates, inspect assets and sell homes. Each product stands on its own and is built to the same standard: automation, transparency and accountability.
Where most teams still run on spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and manual reconciliation, we build software that turns fragmented, manual processes into a single, reliable source of truth. Every product we ship runs on the same three principles: automation, transparency, and accountability.

Why our software is different
Real estate experts and senior engineers behind every product
Our software is built by real estate people, not only engineers. Chartered valuers, asset managers and other real estate experts specify and quality-assure every product, so the workflows and the numbers reflect how property actually works. The systems are built by senior software engineers with experience across South Africa, Kenya and the USA, and the business is overseen by an experienced board drawn from investment banking, capital markets and real estate. The result is institutional-grade software whose quality is assured at every step.
Specified by valuers
Chartered valuers and asset managers write the requirements, not a product team guessing at property workflows.
Quality-assured against real portfolios
Every release is tested against live portfolio data before it ships.
Engineered to institutional standards
Senior engineers across three markets, cloud-hosted with access control, audit trails and backups.
Governed by an experienced board
Oversight from investment banking, capital markets and real estate.

Why we exist
One of Africa’s largest asset classes, one of its least digitised
Deals wait days while an analyst builds a model, a manager reviews it, and an executive finally decides. Landlords wait weeks for manually compiled reports. Tenants have no way to see a balance or log a request. Payments arrive by mobile money and bank transfer with no automated reconciliation.
We build to close that gap and give every team, from the developer to the estate manager to the sales floor, software that is fast, accurate, and accountable, and that is built for the way business is actually done here: mobile money, bank flows, tax invoices, and live data.

Our principles
Every product runs on the same three ideas
Automation
Workflows that run themselves: billing, collections, approvals, and reporting, without the manual chase.
Transparency
Every assumption visible, every number defensible. A single source of truth every stakeholder can trust.
Accountability
Role-based access, permissioned portals, and full audit trails, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Leadership
Built by real estate and technology experts
Every product is specified by chartered valuers and asset managers, then engineered to institutional standards by our technology team.
Executive Team
Built for Africa
Built for how business is actually done here
Off-the-shelf platforms assume a market that isn’t ours. We build for mobile money and bank connectivity, local tax-compliant invoicing, and live reporting, the realities of African real estate, so the software fits your operation instead of forcing you to fit it.
Mobile Money
M-Pesa, Airtel Money, and bank-transfer matching with fully automated reconciliation.
Tax-Compliant Invoicing
KRA-compliant tax invoices and receipts generated automatically on every transaction.
Local Bank Connectivity
Direct integration with Kenyan banks for real-time payment confirmation and allocation.
Live Reporting
Rent rolls, income statements, and arrears dashboards updated in real time. No month-end wait.
Multi-Currency
KES, USD, and other regional currencies handled natively within the same portfolio.
Offline Capable
Field inspections and data capture work without connectivity and sync when back online.
