Overview
HSMS V2.0 is a market-leading, multi-tenant SaaS platform managing all aspects of housing society operations — from plot lifecycle and financial management to AI-augmented intelligence and PLRA/LDA regulatory compliance. It supports 25+ modules with a metadata-driven architecture where workflows, forms, and business rules are configurable via UI.
01 · Problem
Housing societies in Pakistan manage operations across spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and paper registers. Existing solutions like MyGate and ADDA lack plot lifecycle management, PLRA compliance, and Pakistan-specific features like installment plans and dealer portals.
02 · Research
Mapped Pakistani society operations across spreadsheets, WhatsApp, and paper — plus gaps in MyGate/ADDA around plot lifecycle, PLRA, and installment culture.
03 · Strategy
Ship a metadata-driven multi-tenant platform so societies configure workflows without code, while keeping AI and compliance as first-class modules.
04 · UX
Role-aware surfaces for admins, dealers, guards, and residents — plot lifecycle, billing, visitors, and privacy controls without burying critical actions.
05 · Development
Architected database tenancy, dynamic config engine, hybrid RBAC+ABAC, and 25+ modules across Next.js and Express.
06 · Challenges
Designing a truly dynamic system where workflows, forms, and business rules are stored in the database rather than hard-coded — while maintaining performance and type safety across 25+ modules.
07 · Business impact
A market-differentiated platform with 10+ capabilities competitors lack, spanning complete society operations in one system.
