Society Management- How to manage vendors and expenses in apartment complexes

Managing Committee members of housing society have to regularly deal with a number of external vendors from whom they purchase services and products for the society/apartment.

Some of these are:

  • Water tanker providers
  • Waste management equipment dealers
  • Stationary providers
  • Plumbing, electricity, repairmen services, etc.

It’s important to manage these tasks efficiently so that services necessary for society don’t get delayed and vendors don’t keep knocking on the door for payment.

MyGate offers an easy-to-use ‘Apartment/society Management’ feature that facilitates a seamless and transparent workflow for admin to raise a purchase request to vendors, receive and store vendor quotes and details and request the Managing Committee to approve the purchase. This feature is part of the Accounting Suite that comes embedded in MyGate, the Enterprise Resource Planning app for housing societies. 

It simplifies every administrative need of a housing society by digitizing apartments, staff, vendors, amenities, and security management in a few steps so that all operations can be automated with minimal manual intervention or labour.
