Before Ploty

It is the fifth of the month.

Half the building has paid. Nobody is sure which half.

M-Pesa messages on one phone, bank slips in a drawer, the rent book on a shelf.

The landlord calls, and the numbers do not agree.

Ploty was built for that week.

With Ploty

The same month, without the chase.

    Tenants pay the way they already do

    M-Pesa, the bank or cash at the office. Nothing to install and nothing to sign in to.

Set up once as an agency or a landlord. Ploty shapes itself around that.

Letting agencies

You look after buildings for many landlords. Ploty keeps each landlord's money, payouts and statements in order, and each landlord sees only their own buildings.

At the office

Landlords

You own the buildings and run them yourself. Every unit, tenant and shilling in one place, with income, arrears and occupancy at a glance.

Tenants need nothing new

Your tenants keep their phones. You keep the paperwork.

Tenants are billed, reminded and receipted by SMS, and pay from any phone that can send M-Pesa. Only your office, your caretakers and your landlords use Ploty.
