New smart features of CommonFloor Groups App

CommonFloor, a Quikr company that allows home aspirant, sellers and real estate professionals a comprehensive online real estate environment, coming up with new Smart Community Feature updates. These new and unique community features on the CommonFloor Groups app will provide residential communities with improved security features to manage visitor information and improve residents’ safety in society.

The new improved version is based on the recently conducted consumer survey on CommonFloor Groups. It revealed some of the essential subjects related to child safety, need for better documentation processes and a more accessible device to track vendors and visitors that go beyond old-fashioned tracking. This new and improved feature helps build smarter communities across the country.

The strong, cloud-based security system converts security guards into Smart Guards who can connect, communicate and cooperate with residents and apartment communities in a convenient manner.

Old Features:

It is an easy way to manage visitor entry as all the information is recorded digitally.

It allows residents to approve visitors’ entry with OTP (one-time-password), without dependency on an intercom.

It also allows residents to pre-approve hassle-free entry for their guests to avoid any waiting time involved in manually registering their names at the front gate.

It gives real-time notifications on the attendance details of domestic help and other staff members, the arrival of the school bus and daily vendors, among others.

We are happy to announce the revamp of CF Groups App. The New App has cleaner and richer UI, easy navigation flows for Guest/Vendor/Staff Check-ins and Industry-first features when it comes to Apartment security.

The Resident & Guard side of the App has been enhanced on the following fronts:

a. Improved Guest/Vendor Check-in Approval Screen

Now Residents need not go to the Smartguard section inside the App to approve the Guests & Vendors, but the functionality is integrated into App main flow as My Visitors

Resident can also pre-approve Guests, post which code gets generated and Guests can check-in in the community using the code.

b. My Daily Help

Residents can now Add and set notifications for the ‘Daily Help’ visiting their house. They can also check the Attendance track record/history of his staff.

‘Daily Help’ addition functionality also lets them search all Daily Helps working in their community and call and check for availability.

c. Resident-to-Guard Messaging

Residents can now send messages to Guards at the Main gates in case they want to report anything urgent. Guards can also send the message to Residents. Guard need not type the entire message, but pre-defined messages are already available for him.

d. Daily Help/Staff Check-in via Code

Daily Helps / Staffs can now check-in in the community by giving a 6 digit code. This reduces the time taken for check-in and makes the process much more efficient.

e. Gate Pass Addition & Viewing

Residents can also issue Gate pass to the ‘Daily Help’ in case they are giving any stuff to them. Guards can check the Gate pass before checking-out the Daily Help.

f. Move-in / Move-out Check-in

If the Resident is moving-in or moving-out of the community, the Admin can issue a Move-in / Move-our code to Residents which can be given to Movers & Packers basis which they can enter into the community. This feature is not available in any other visitor management applications. The Admin issues the code when NOC is obtained by the resident.

g. Water Tanker / Oil Tanker Check-in

For the Water Tanker and Diesel Tanker which enters the community, the Guard can check-in them along with the capacity of the tank. This helps the Admins / Property Manager keep a tab of the amount of Water / Diesel entering into the society and track it efficiently. Again, this feature is not available in other visitor management applications.

Apart from these things, the UI has been revamped for all other screens like Complaints Management, Payment & Dues etc.

At last, We would like to thank all our customers for giving us such valuable feedback to improve the app.

Smart Residential Living

10 Reasons Why You Need an Online Portal To Manage Your Residential Complex

Apr 9,2014 / By Team Commonfloor Groups / 1 Comment

Moving into a great residential complex is often not the beginning of the great time we hope to have. Maintaining what is good is equally important, else an otherwise great living experience can go sour in no time. It is very essential that the residents are well connected with each other, and the day-to-day administration is seamless.

Read on to know why you need an online portal to manage your residential complex and make it a great place to live in!

1) The kick-start: When you move in, your neighbours have your back. A regular milkman, good handyman, reliable maid, you cannot find all these on your own easily. A portal where you can start discussions with neighbors comes in very handy when you move in.

2) Connecting with neighbours: We all have seen neighbours become an extended family over time. It is important you find like-minded people you can depend on. Share hobbies, make tea-time visits, borrow things, arrange baby-sitting, find friends for your children, community living always makes life better. An online portal helps to find them, you can’t be knocking on very door, can you?

3) Complaints redressal: When residential complexes have hundreds of units, everyone has some issue or other at any point of time. How is it possible for your managing committee to track them and resolve them in time? And for you to check the status of your complaint? An online portal helps to assign, track, and escalate complaints.

4) Maintenance dues: For residents, its difficult to remember when to pay dues and how much. For managing committee members, reminding residents, collecting dues, tracking defaulters, and settling excess or deficit is a pain beyond description. An online portal helps send SMS reminders. Payments can be made online and hence easily tracked, and settlements are very easy.

5) Credible Accounting: It is hard to find people with great accounting knowledge and plenty of time at hand, to manage accounting in a residential complex. In such a situation, a portal that is specifically designed so that any resident can manage your community accounts and also be able to handle financial audits, is a great asset.

6) Finding and Managing vendors: If you are a resident, it helps if you can find a plumber or electrician, that someone known to you has already hired. For the management committee, it becomes very important they have contacts, payments, receipts, and contracts in place so that operations run smooth. An online portal can do all this in a few clicks.

7) Events: Don’t we all love fun events and need meetings? You can organize birthday parties or community new year celebrations, send online invites and SMS reminders. Need a quick meeting of all residents to close an issue? Door-to-door is simply an outdated and intrusive method.

8) Using Amenities: The amenities like club house, tennis court in apartments are limited, and it becomes difficult to manage conflicts for use. An online portal helps you book amenities online as needed, and also helps your committee with maintaining them.

9) Polls: Whether to go for waste segregation or rain water harvesting, decisions like these need common consensus before they get implemented. Using online polling helps you arrive at a consensus peacefully.

10) Managing Staff Access: Not every staff member in a committee needs access to all confidential data of your residential complex. An online portal helps managing committee members to regulate staff access levels so that important information is safe, irrespective of staff joining or leaving the management.

Once you have all these 10 factors in place, residential living actually transforms to a well-managed community living. Do share with us what are the main challenges you face in your residential complex, and you could find a solution!
