Hello, South PropMan
Why we built a property management platform from Gaborone — and who it's for.
South PropMan team
We started South PropMan because the tools we saw landlords using were either (a) imported, expensive, and built around a market they don’t operate in, or (b) a notebook, a scattered set of group chats, and a Sunday-night reconciliation ritual that nobody enjoyed.
What it is
One platform, four front doors:
- Landlords get the master view — properties, leases, ledgers, CAM, recurring costs, KPIs.
- Managers (asset / property managers working for an owner) see only what they’re contracted to see, with agreements and payouts traced end-to-end.
- Tenants get a slim portal to pay, upload proof of payment, and log issues.
- Service providers receive jobs, submit quotes, upload invoices and get paid in one branded portal shared with the landlord or manager.
Everything reads from one ledger. No CSV imports, no Friday-evening exports, no “which version of this spreadsheet is current”.
What it isn’t
Not a bookkeeping replacement. Your accountant still signs the statutory returns — we just make sure the numbers they’re handed are already clean.
Not a one-size-fits-all template. Country presets shape the chart of accounts, currencies, and VAT / WHT rules per market so you’re not adapting a generic product to your reality.
What’s next
The roadmap for the next two quarters:
- Tenant-native mobile app (PWA, already functional, polishing)
- Per-country bank payment rails beyond EFT pain.001
- Insurance & body-corporate integrations
- Auditor-read-only role with scoped ledger exports
