Apartment society management apps Living behind the gate, from the visitor at the gate to the society's dues Order food to a flat in a gated apartment society, and the guard at the gate enters the delivery in an app. Your phone buzzes, you tap Approve, and the delivery person is let in. Millions of urban Indians live in societies like this, and the society itself is run on an app. A delivery at a gated society: it arrives at the gate, the guard logs it in the society app, the resident's phone buzzes and they tap Approve, and the delivery person is let in.A delivery at a gated society: it arrives at the gate, the guard logs it in the society app, the resident's phone buzzes and they tap Approve, and the delivery person is let in.

Who runs a society. In India, the flats in a society are usually owned by the residents. The owners elect a managing committee, often through a residents' welfare association (RWA). The committee members are volunteers. They hire the guards, cleaners and maintenance staff, often through a facility-management company. Every flat pays a monthly maintenance charge to cover the cost.

What the app does. A society app covers four jobs:

The gatethe guard logs every visitor and delivery, and the resident approves each one from a phone. The app also records when domestic workers, such as cooks and drivers, come and go. The moneyresidents pay their maintenance charges in the app, and the committee keeps the society's accounts in it. The shared facilitiesresidents book the clubhouse, the badminton court or the party hall. The notices and complaintsthe committee sends notices, and residents report problems such as a broken lift. Who runs a society: the residents own the flats and elect a managing committee, which hires the staff and chooses the society app. The app covers four jobs: the gate, the money, the shared facilities, and notices and complaints. Mygate and ANACITY IN sell such apps, and NoBrokerHood competes with them.Who runs a society: the residents own the flats and elect a managing committee, which hires the staff and chooses the society app. The app covers four jobs: the gate, the money, the shared facilities, and notices and complaints.

Who buys it. The buyer is the society's committee, or the builder of a new society. The residents use the app, but the committee chooses it. The society usually pays a fee for each flat.

Running a society is a smaller version of running any building. (More on the software for commercial buildings in Market Segment 41.2, Property and facilities management software.)

 Society apps, services and the gate

The society app

 Mygatefounded in Bengaluru, with engineers there, runs the app on which millions of Indian apartment residents approve visitors and deliveries at the gate. They also pay their society dues on it. ANACITY INsells community and facility management software to societies.

The equipment at the gate

 Alba Urmetwith engineers in Delhi, makes access-control and intercom hardware. Access control means the locks, cards and readers that decide who can open a door or a gate. (More on it in Market Segment 4.15, Physical security, surveillance and trust and safety, in Industry Vertical 4, Cybersecurity.)

One company here sells through landlords instead

 Amenifywith engineers in Delhi, runs a marketplace of services for the residents of apartment buildings, such as cleaning, laundry and repairs. It reaches the residents through their landlords. Amenify has the most job postings in this Market Segment.

NoBrokerHood, a society app from NoBroker.com, competes here. (More on NoBroker.com in Market Segment 41.4, Real estate portals and mortgage tech.) ADDA and ApnaComplex are not covered in this Market Segment.

The gate that knows who is coming.

The society app already knows every delivery and visitor. Cameras that read faces and number plates are now making the gate automatic. So are AI models that spot unusual patterns. But the same data that makes a society convenient raises questions of privacy, for the residents and for the people who work there.

 That is the software of the gated society: one app for the gate, the money, the shared facilities and the notices, chosen by the committee and used by every resident.
