About
Property software built in Harare, for how property is managed here.
PropHaven started from a simple observation: managing property in Zimbabwe is harder than it needs to be. We built the system we'd want if we were managing properties ourselves.
The problem
What property management looks like without it.
- Rent chased on WhatsApp
- The same reminders to the same tenants every month, sent by hand.
- Leases lost in email threads
- Paper copies, scans and attachments, searched for whenever there's a dispute.
- Tools that don't talk
- Payments in one place, repairs in another, documents on a drive, notes in a spreadsheet.
- No record to point to
- When a payment or repair is disputed, there's no history, just memory.
How we work
Plain about what it does.
- 01
Say what's built, and what isn't
Online rent payments and SMS reminders aren't in PropHaven yet, so we say so on the homepage rather than in the fine print.
- 02
Fit the way property is managed here
EcoCash, OneMoney and InnBucks alongside bank and cash. USD with ZAR and other regional currencies. Borehole and generator details on every property.
- 03
Keep a record of everything
Every invoice, payment allocation and repair status change is kept, so there's always something to point to.
