NoBrokerHOOD App Is Launched By NoBroker.com To Make 1 Lakh Housing Societies Tech-Enabled By 2020
Gears up to
transform security systems in residential societies through technology
Having significantly
disrupted the real estate market and transformed the way people find homes,
NoBroker.com is set to upgrade security within housing societies. The world’s
largest ‘peer-to-peer’ real estate portal has recently launched the NoBrokerHOOD
app, a tech-enabled visitor and community management system which would make
life more convenient and secure for residents of housing societies and
townships starting with Bangalore ,
Mumbai and Gurgaon. NoBroker.com aims to onboard at least 1 lakh residential
communities across India
by 2020.
The constant movement of
service staff (maids, drivers, courier services, delivery personnel, etc.) and
guests make security management a hassle. While most apartment buildings and
residential complexes do have security measures in place, they are either
outmoded or rely heavily on manual registration. Large societies render human
staff inadequate for day to day tasks. Further, such inadequate management of
visitor entry also leads to day-to-day challenges for residents, such as
unauthorized visitor entries/vehicle parking and maintaining service staff
attendance. Moreover, residents are required to respond to calls from the Gate
to authorize entry which might be troublesome and difficult if people are in
meetings.
It is this need-gap that the
NoBrokerHOOD app is addressing through its unique tech-led approach. The
platform offers a plethora of services and features which enable users to
manage multiple activities inside residential buildings, housing societies, and
gated communities, ranging from finding domestic help to monitoring visitor
entry and pre-authorising guest visits with an OTP. It also further strengthens
the safety aspect by keeping visual and digital records of all entries and
exits – accessible anytime and anywhere – and automates staff entry through
biometric processes.
Housing Societies Such As
Suncity (Bangalore ), Aravali Heights
(Gurgaon) And Oberoi Springs (Mumbai) Have Already Onboarded The Platform.
The app is very simple to use
and comes with even more simplified features for senior citizens who are not
very tech savvy. The resident can pre-authorise a visitor through just an OTP.
Or whenever a visitor arrives at the gate, the duty guard enters their details
into the app and notifies the relevant resident. Residents receive a visitor
notification on their registered devices and can either approve or reject the
request. The duty guard receives the resident's response and accordingly allows
or denies entry to the visitor. Users can also give instructions to the
security staff through an IVR calling system.
The NoBrokerHOOD app can
broadcast alerts and notifications to the entire society and allows
residents to stay connected with each other through a Building Society
Residents’ Directory. It also helps users choose service staff such as
electricians, cooks, maids, plumbers etc. based on reviews from the society’s
own yellow pages, as well as conduct Aadhaar-based verification of all service
staff catering to the residents. It
can additionally ensure digital and recorded authorization for the entry of all
handymen and delivery boys to ensure better safety and prevent theft.
NoBroker.com also provides extensive after-sales service for the NoBrokerHOOD
app, giving solutions to users, even post-purchase.
With the urban population in India expected
to cross 600 million by 2030, the large-scale population influx from tier-2/3
cities and semi-urban geographies have put a lot of strain on the available
real estate in major metropolitan centers. Managing this burgeoning housing
demand has led to a rapid mushrooming of housing societies and high-rise
apartment complexes. The security in most such societies, however, is usually
outsourced to third-party service providers who are still using antiquated
security approaches. The launch of the NoBrokerHOOD app is, therefore, being
hailed as a much-needed and revolutionary tech intervention in the urban
residential society space.
By enabling extensive,
end-to-end provision of features and support, the NoBrokerHOOD app can
significantly streamline, optimize, and manage security operations, thus
improving the quality of life for Indians through technology.
