Built for Kenyan estates — not generic property software
Sectional compliance, collision-free M-Pesa routing, segregated billing, and mobile apps your stakeholders actually use on WhatsApp and smartphone.
Sectional Properties Act Compliance
One-click Management Clearance Certificates (MCC) for Ardhi House and notaries when ownership changes — built for Kenya's Sectional Properties Act 2020 workflows.
Per-Estate M-Pesa Routing
Each building keeps its own Safaricom Paybill. Automatic C2B matching with W-codes and S-codes — no account collisions between Unit 101 in Marcus Garden and Unit 101 in Padmore Residency.
Segregated Billing Streams
Margin protection through strict separation: service charge invoices for owners, water and rent for residents — one physical unit, dual-stream clarity on a single ledger.
Mobile Apps for Everyone
No complicated desktop portals — lightweight PWAs for tenants, owners, caretakers with photo-proof meter readings, and a Guest App for Airbnb short stays with door codes and Wi-Fi.

Testimonials
Trusted by property operators
“Month-end used to mean hours with M-Pesa PDFs. Now collections reconcile automatically and I open one dashboard instead of five WhatsApp groups.”
“I needed visibility from abroad without micromanaging my caretaker. MakaoYetu shows payments and arrears the same day they happen.”
“Automated SMS reminders cut my follow-up calls dramatically. Tenants pay faster when the balance and Paybill ref are always clear.”
