As the year end comes , we just recieved great testimonial from Mr. Ganesh Raja, treasurer of Ittina Abby, a 200+ unit society in Bangalore who have been using ApnaComplex for past 6 months now. Below is the testimonial:

Gone are the days of Maintaining Excel sheets and reconciling the same for Expenses made … Gone are the Days of having a home grown solution that crashes or have sleepless nights thinking about a Hard Disk crashes… ApnaComplex has really revolutionized facility maintenance all the way from collecting Maintenance to spending it. We at ITTINA ABBY are so happy and yesterday also a resident was saying how easy it is to use it and they never have to come to the Treasurer’s office for anything.

Great Team who is always ready to hear our problems and offer a solution even if it means more work for them. Always there to correct mistakes made by our Facility Manager, Support is so important for a System like this and the Team at Apnacomplex have understood that very well.

Kudos to the team and hope to see them enhance this more as we roll into 2012. — Ganesh, Treasurer ITTINA ABBY LBS Nagar Vimanapura PO”

Thank you Mr. Ganesh for your kind words!! We are so happy to receive these words from you!

Recently Kamal Co-operative Housing Society, Mumbai went live on ApnaComplex. The society has moved all thier accounts into ApnaComplex and for the first time issued digital invoices and receipts to its members. Mr. Hemang Thakker, Hon. Treasurer of the society was very pleased with the many positive comments from their members and has the following to say on ApnaComplex –

“We were on the lookout for an accounting software for our society for quite some time. We zeroed in on Apnacomplex as the site is well designed and featured all the things one looks for in a good software AND offered a no-obligation one month free trial.

The best part is that ApnaComplex delivers what it promises. I am very happy to say that all the doubts, queries and issues raised by us were addressed promptly and in a very positive manner. And as new features are being added the whole experience becomes richer.

We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship and would recommend the program whole heartedly.”

Thank you Mr. Thakker for your kind words!

Its been almost one year since we showcased ApnaComplex in the NASSCOM Product Launchpad as one of the top 10 start ups in 2010. How time just flew!

NASSCOM Product Conclave 2011 is a few days away, we thought its a good time to reflect back on our journey since the last Product Conclave. Our biggest achievement since then – we firmly established ourselves in the market as a very comprehensive and value-for-money software for every gated community.

In the past one year, we had many “firsts” to our name and have consistently raised the bar for Apartment Management and Accounting Software with features like:

• Capability to generate fully adjusted Balance Sheets online for Housing Socities,
• Multi-tiered rate structures for Facility Booking,
• Ability to enforce acceptance of bye-laws by members,
• Online Society Registers to meet regulatory needs,
• Highly configurable Penalty Rules Engine,
• Meeting Management – Innovative Meeting Calendar for Society Meetings/Events

For those who are statistically inclined, following are few metrics for us in last 1 year:

• We have made 45 releases – thats almost one release every week – we are always hungry to add new capabilities
• We have done at least 12 major upgrades – all made available at no extra cost to our customers!
• We have doubled our server infrastructure 4 times
• Got covered in YourStory.in, BizExchange, RealEstate Times, Aaj ka Anand, Accommodation Times, Sakal

We also had loads of fun when we distributed Holi Posters, conducted the Drawing Contest for Children of ApnaComplex customers, sponsored and participated in the flagship ApnaComplex – TPL Cricket Tournament along with Treamis World School for gated communities in Bangalore.

All of this ofcourse was not possible with out support from our customers – all of them supported us superbly by constantly giving feedback, shaping up requirements for new features, helping us with beta testing, providing references – what not – they have been with us in every step we took.

Some of them gave us fantastic moments that made us extremely happy and proud like – “Going ‘live’ with their portal with all accounting data in less than a week after they signed up for the 30-day trial”, “Attaching expense voucher generated by the software along with the payment to us!! We take a moment to THANK each one of our customers and users. A few of our customers truly deserve very special mention – for they not only made us sit on the edge and pushed us to deliver, but also backed us to hilt:

• Mr. Ravichandran and Mr. Ram Bhagawat of Citilights Liberty,
• Mr. R V Ashok of Appaswamy Orchards,
• Mr. Balasubramaniam and Mr. Kannan Viswanathan of Sobha Azalea and Althea,
• Mr. P V R Prasad of Aparna Sarovar,
• Mr. Ganesh Raja of Ittina Abby,
• Mr. Amish Shah of SJR Spencer,
• Mr. Praveen of Ferns Habitat,
• Mr. Vivek Baliga of Purva Panorama,
• Mr. Pradeep Parmar of Lotus CHS,
• Mr. Sivaram of Dream Meadows,
• Mr. Hafiz Abraham of Abad Aquarius

We are truly fortunate to have such customers! We also thank various partners – Citizen Matters, Chennai Online and others who were there with us through out.

As we experience the next wave of growth – we make a promise to ourselves that we will continue to build new features and support our customers that will make community living a pleasure!

In yet another first and setting the standards for web based society accounting, ApnaComplex announces the availability of a new Penalty Rules Engine to all the customers. While ApnaComplex all along had the ability to calculate interst rate based on a percentage rate of the reducing outstanding balance, we now enhanced the penalty calculation engine to be able to calculate penalty for a wide variety of cases such as one time late penalty, per day penalty, %age on invoice value, %age of the outstanding value, slab based penalties etc. All the treasurer needs to do is to set choices for various criteria and get the penalties at the click of a button.

Listed below are some of the cases which ApnaComplex Penalty Rules Engine supports. Do note these are just a small list of possibilities. The engine supports nearly innumerable penalty schemes. Treasurers now can calculate penalty for one or more charge types (not just maintenance charge – but any charge type and any number of types) and you can get a fair idea of the powerful engine with the examples below:

Examples of Penalty Calculations supported by ApnaComplex

1. Calculate penalty at a flat rate of Rs. 25/- per every day of delay.
2. Calculate penalty for at a rate of Rs. 500/- for 1st week of delay and Rs. 1000/- there after
3. Calculate penalty at a compounded rate of interest on the invoice amount.
4. Calculate penalty at 10% per annum on the maintenance charge for a delay of a week and 20% of the maintenance charge if the payment is delayed by more than week
5. Calculate penalty at 2% per month on reducing balance as per the payments received against an invoice.
6. Apply penalty charges only if the outstanding amount is greater than a minimum amount
and many more..

Now, don’t you call this a true Diwali Gift for the treasurers!?

Mayuresh Park Co-operative Housing Society, a cozy society in Thane, Maharashtra, is now “Live” on ApnaComplex. Mr. Shailendra Gawas, committee member of Mayuresh Park Co-operative Housing Society Ltd., wrote to us on the occassion of going live:

“We at Mayuresh Park Committee were looking for centralized and cost effective software as service based solution to manage our society. After evaluating ApnaComplex for one month, we found that the application really helping us a lot to manage almost all our requirements effieciently and in productive manner. Managing Invoices, Payments, Expenditure, MOM’s etc. has made our committee members life easy. Also it brings trasperency to the operations due to which I hope all our resident members will be happy.”

Thank you Mr. Shailenra and we hope to make a difference in lives of your society members!

We welcome the owners and residents of Dream Meadows, a beautiful private layout consisting of 246 plots in the Brookefields area of Bangalore to the ApnaComplex family.

What is most pleasing for us is that managing committee of Dream Meadows did very thorough evaluation of various softwares and finalized ApnaComplex.

Mr. Sivaram, Treasurer of Dream Meadows Owners Association, wrote to us on the occassion of going live and has following to say about ApnaComplex:
“Thank you very much for your support in Dream Meadows going live on ApnaComplex in less than 3 weeks. The three best things that we have found with ApnaComplex are:

1. Pricing : Is reasonable for the features provided compared to other counterparts.
2. Service : Is marvelous and with very low response time.
3. Features: Rich and impressive set of features.

We could go live in less than 3 weeks and your support in achieving this is FANTASTIC.

Thanks for taking the feedback on the existing functionality and your readiness to implement the same in to the Application.

Some of the functionality like Discussion Forum, Notice Board with SMS facility are very much helpful to the owners stationed out of Bangalore.

As a committee member, Action Item Tracker with reminder service and Complaint Tracker are really good and pretty much helpful.

I, as a Treasurer of our Association with no accounting knowledge find maintaining accounts (Member maintenance charges, Non-Member Charges) pretty much simpler with ApnaComplex.

Thank You ApnaComplex Team for the great support we received from you to help us go live and will definitely recommend your services to my known contatcts.

Hoping to have to have the same kind of support in future too!!!!”

Thank you Mr. Sivaram for your kind words!

We welcome the owners and residents of Abad Aquarius – a beautiful, river side apartment complex located at Aluva, Kerala just beside the Periyar River – to the ApnaComplex family. Writing to us on the occasion of going live, Mr. Hafiz M Ebrahim, Treasurer of Aquarius Apartment Owners Association has following to say -

“First of all, what I felt with Apnacomplex is the terrific support provided to us as starter. Thier prompt and consistent mails helped us a lot to implement the system without wasting time.

Regarding the functionality, I swear that ApnaComplex has incorporated all the requirements of the day to day management of apartment complexes. Some of the functions which attracted me more are the discussion forum, notice board, facility booking etc. which will be very helpful especially for owners staying outside the country and those who are not much organized with emails.

About accounts section the main attraction is that one need not to be an accountant to use ApnaComplex and handle accounts. It’s just simple as that!

I will surely introduce Apnacomplex to my friends and colleagues who are waiting for their apartment complexes to be handed over in the near future.”

Thank you Mr. Hafiz for your words! This motivates us to do better!

Sobha Althea and Azalea – a premium residential property in Yelahanka, Bangalore has gone live this week on ApnaComplex.  The society of this 176 flats + 26 villas complex, has chosen ApnaComplex after a detailed evaluation and comparison with other software.

Writing to us on this occasion, Mr. Kannan, President of Sobha Althea and Azalea Apartment Owners Association has the following to say -

“We evaluated several options for managing our Association – Sobha Althea and Azalea Apartment Owners Association and zeroed in on Apna Complex.

Some of the key factors that went in favour of Apna Complex were the ease of operating the portal, the quality of thought that has gone into designing the portal, the clarity & level of commitment of the ApnaComplex team in ensuring continuous updation and modernisation of the portal taking into account individual customisation requirements.

The portal is quite comprehensive for managing the day to day running of an Apartment Complex at a reasonable cost. The on-boarding is fast and our experience in setting up the database for our complex was very smooth and easy. We wish Apna Complex all the luck in expanding their base.”
