The Challenge: Manual Chaos in Property Management
Nathan, a real estate entrepreneur with a strong tech background, noticed a growing inefficiency across property management workflows. Property managers (PMs) juggled dozens of manual tasks daily:
- Rent collection through offline or fragmented systems
- Tenant communications via email, phone, or even paper
- Maintenance requests tracked manually or over calls
- Disorganized lease applications and document storage
- Zero automation or insight into financial performance
The property management tools on the market were either too rigid, too generic, or lacked the customization and control needed for scale.
Nathan approached A'sTechware to design and develop an all-in-one solution that would eliminate these inefficiencies, with a strong focus on automation, security, and a seamless user experience.
The Solution: Vestra – The Modern OS for Property Managers
After a deep discovery session, A'sTechware proposed and architected a custom SaaS platform with the following pillars:
1. Multi-Role, Multi-Tenant Web App
- Landlords, property managers, staff, and tenants—all with distinct roles and permissions
- Scalable architecture built for adding multiple properties, teams, and tenants under each PM account
- Super Admin dashboard for platform-wide oversight
2. Streamlined Onboarding & Operations
-
Property Managers can:
- Add properties through a smart step-form
- Invite tenants via email or link
- Add staff to manage support tickets and maintenance
-
Tenants can:
- Easily set up accounts
- View leases, pay rent, request repairs—all from one place
3. Flexible Rent Collection with Stripe Connect
- PMs define custom rent due dates and invoice ranges
-
Tenants can:
- Split rent with roommates
- Pay in parts (e.g. 50% now, 50% later)
- All payments are processed via Stripe Connect with full security and compliance
- PMs withdraw directly to their bank or card—no need to leave the platform
4. Live Chat for Support & Maintenance
- Real-time messaging between tenants and support staff
- Staff can track, respond, and resolve issues faster
- Centralizes all communications for easy reference
5. Secure Document Storage
- Lease agreements, ID verifications, and property-related documents
- All stored securely in the cloud, organized per property and tenant
6. AI-Powered Financial Insights
-
Leveraging OpenAI, Vestra generates natural-language summaries of:
- Monthly earnings
- Maintenance costs
- Refunds and other adjustments
- PMs get clean, human-readable reports that require no training or spreadsheets
