Late maintenance payments are one of the most common challenges faced by Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs). Chasing reminders, applying penalties, and reconciling records often takes weeks, leading to cash flow gaps that directly impact a society’s ability to pay vendors, manage repairs, or even fund day-to-day operations.
In our society, this was a recurring pain until we implemented Mygate ERP. Within just a few months, the difference was visible: timely collections improved by over 30%, and the entire process became stress-free for both residents and the management committee.
Manual follow-ups and payment delays
Before Mygate ERP, our treasurer and committee members spent hours every month on:
- Sending WhatsApp reminders to residents
- Tracking who paid and who didn’t through Excel sheets
- Applying late fees manually, often leading to disputes
- Chasing delayed payments that sometimes stretched across months
This not only strained relationships between the committee and residents but also left the society struggling to meet expenses on time.
The shift with Mygate ERP
When we adopted Mygate ERP’s automated accounting and billing system, the entire cycle transformed:
- Automated Billing: Every resident received maintenance invoices on time, directly via the Mygate app and email.
- Smart Reminders: Gentle, automated reminders ensured residents were notified before the due date, reducing the need for manual follow-ups.
- Late Fee Automation: The system auto-applied penalties where applicable, making the process transparent and dispute-free.
- Multiple Payment Options: Residents could pay instantly using UPI, net banking, debit/credit cards, or wallets removing the friction of offline transfers.
The results we experienced
Within three billing cycles, our society noticed:
- Faster collections: Over 85% of residents paid within the due date.
- Reduced disputes: Automated penalty rules avoided “Why me?” conversations.
- Better cash flow: The society had funds ready for vendor payments and maintenance work without delays.
- Time saved: The treasurer no longer had to chase payments, freeing up hours every month.
Residents loved it too
Interestingly, residents appreciated the shift as much as the committee:
- No more standing in queues for cheque payments
- Instant payment receipts in the app
- Transparent billing and history to track past dues
- Peace of mind knowing payments were acknowledged immediately
One resident even mentioned:
“Earlier, I’d forget the due date until someone reminded me. Now, Mygate sends me alerts on time, and I just pay in two clicks.”
Why timely dues matter
For RWAs, timely collections are the lifeblood of society management. Delays impact:
- Security staff salaries
- Electricity and water bills
- Regular maintenance like lifts and gardens
- Emergency repairs and projects
By ensuring near 100% on-time payments, Mygate ERP not only solved a financial problem but also built greater trust between residents and the management committee.
