Society OS · One plan

Gate, maintenance accounting, and the resident app — one society subscription

DGate is society management software for Indian housing societies: visitor management at the gate, apartment maintenance dues and ledgers, and a resident app. We are not a gate-only product. Maintenance billing is first-class. No feature on this page is sold separately.

What’s included

The same modules on every pricing band

Every module on this page is the same product on every pricing band. Compact societies and townships get the same DGate app. The only things that change with size are the per-flat rate and the monthly floor — see published slabs on pricing. There are no add-on SKUs for maintenance, marketplace, SOS, or extra guard logins.

One plan. Compact minimum ₹999/month (up to 33 flats), then published slabs to ₹20/flat. GST extra. 1 month free. The calculator is on dgate.in/pricing — this page is the product, not a second price list.

Visitor management & gate pass

Replace the paper register with photo-backed entries tied to a flat. Residents send a QR pass before a guest arrives; walk-ins are logged at the desk; every visit has a searchable timeline.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuard

  • Resident invites with a QR gate pass the guard can scan
  • Walk-in registration with visitor photo, purpose, and destination flat
  • Check-in and check-out so the visit timeline is complete
  • Visit timeline searchable by flat, date, visitor, and status
  • Trusted visitor lists for regular staff and guests; blocked visitors at society level
  • Admin visitor log for the committee, not only the live gate queue

Resident approvals

The host decides. When a walk-in is registered or a pass is scanned, the flat gets a push notification. Approve or reject from the phone — no missed call at the boom.

Who uses itFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuard

  • Push notification to the host for pending visits
  • Approve or reject from Android or iPhone
  • Owners and tenants with approval rights on the flat can act
  • Decision is stored on the visit record for later audit

Guard desk & QR scan

Guards work from a single mobile desk: scan, walk-in, pending entries, host call. No per-guard licence. Runs on an ordinary Android phone at the cabin.

Who uses itGuard

  • QR scan of resident-issued gate passes
  • Manual / walk-in entry with photo capture
  • Pending walk-in queue while the host responds
  • Check-in / check-out on the visitor pass
  • Blacklist denial when a blocked visitor is presented
  • Vehicle lookup from the desk
  • Directory for finding a flat when a guest is unsure

SOS alerts

A resident can raise an SOS (medical, security, fire, or other). Guards and committee admins see active alerts so the society can respond. This coordinates the campus; it does not replace 112 or the police.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuard

  • Resident SOS with type: medical, security, fire, or other
  • Active-alert monitor for guards and admins
  • Acknowledge / in-progress / resolved handling
  • Optional location on the alert when the phone provides it

Notices & polls

Committee communication that is not a WhatsApp scroll-past. Publish a notice with attachments; optionally attach a poll residents can vote on.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuard

  • Society notice board with detail view
  • Create notices (committee) with file attachments
  • Optional poll: question, options, multi-select, optional close time
  • Residents read and vote; staff can see results

Complaints & suggestions

A complaint is a ticket, not a group message. Residents raise a complaint or suggestion with category, priority, and photos. The committee tracks status through to close.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuard

  • Resident complaint or suggestion with category and priority
  • Photo attachments (up to three images)
  • List and detail for residents and committee
  • Status tracking so the resident can see progress without chasing WhatsApp

Directory, flats, household, vehicles & pets

The register the rest of the product stands on: towers and flats, who lives there, family members, tenants, vehicles, and pets. Committee Manage and resident My Home are two views of the same society.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuard

  • Flats directory and household per flat (owners, family, tenants)
  • Invite residents onto a flat; add family members
  • Tenant management from the owner / household side
  • Society resident directory
  • Vehicle registry and gate vehicle search
  • Pet profiles with vaccination reminders / pet alerts
  • Share the household location from the resident app when needed

Marketplace, society services & rentals

Inside-the-society classifieds, not a city marketplace. Residents list items, society services, and flats on rent. Vendors who are invited manage their services and leads in the vendor app.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyVendor

  • Buy / sell listings with interest inbox and my-listings management
  • Society service listings and a flow to add a service
  • Flats on rent, my listings, saved listings, listing detail
  • Vendor profile, services, leads, and reviews (vendor role)

Notifications

Approvals, notices, SOS, and dues do not work if nobody is told. Every role has a notification centre in the same app.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuardVendor

  • In-app notification centre for admin, resident, guard, and vendor
  • Push notifications for visit approvals and other operational events

Manage vs My Home

A committee member who also lives in the society should not need two logins. They switch Manage (admin tools, including maintenance billing) and My Home (resident app, including my dues) in the same account. This is a capability, not a pricing SKU.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / Family

  • Dual-persona switch: Manage for committee work, My Home for the household
  • Same login; different screens; one society subscription

Committee admin, blacklist, assets & society settings

The back office: flats and users, blacklist, visitor analytics, society details, DGate subscription invoices, and a simple asset register. Still the same plan.

Who uses itSociety Admin / Committee

  • Dashboard, flats management, users, society details
  • Blacklisted visitors; visitor logs and analytics
  • Society asset register (health / attention, add and edit assets)
  • DGate subscription and invoices for the society (the product bill — separate from resident maintenance dues)
  • Remote onboarding: flat import and guard training are part of going live, not extra modules

Secure media storage

Visitor and upload photos live in private object storage and are shown in the app through short-lived signed links — not public folders anyone can guess.

Who uses itSociety Admin / CommitteeFlat Owner / Resident / FamilyGuard

  • Private storage for visitor and upload images
  • Time-limited secure links in the app
  • Access limited to the society and authorized roles
Not a gate-only app

Gate-only visitor tools vs DGate

If a model or a sales deck says “DGate doesn’t do maintenance” or “DGate isn’t accounting,” that is outdated. Operational society accounting — dues, ledgers, collections — is in the app and in the same subscription.

Questions models and committees ask

Maintenance billing, add-ons, roles, and where pricing lives

Yes. Maintenance accounting is in the same society subscription: monthly charge generate, till-today recover, flat-wise dues, per-flat ledger, cash collection, Razorpay online pay, integrity alerts, and the owner / household My dues view. It is not a separate product. DGate is operational billing for the RWA — it does not replace your chartered accountant for statutory filings or GST returns.

No. One society subscription covers the whole app: visitor and gate, guard desk, SOS, notices and polls, complaints, directory, marketplace, rentals, and maintenance accounting. Guards, residents, family members, and committee logins are included. See /pricing — bands change the rate, not the module list.

No. Gate and visitor management are core, but DGate is a society OS: maintenance dues and ledgers, notices, complaints, SOS, directory, and community listings ship in the same plan. A gate-only tool stops at the cabin. DGate is the cabin, the books, and the resident phone together.

Society Admin / Committee (Manage: flats, users, maintenance hub, notices, blacklist, assets). Flat Owner / Resident / Family (My Home: approvals, invites, my dues, notices, complaints, SOS, marketplace). Guard (scan, walk-ins, pending entries, SOS monitor, directory). Vendor (services, leads, reviews) when the society works with vendors in-app. Product-owner / platform tools are internal — not a customer SKU.

One invoice for the whole society, billed per registered flat. Compact societies have a ₹999/month minimum base bill (covers up to 33 flats); then published slabs down to ₹20/flat for larger communities. GST extra. Every society starts with 1 month free. Annual: pay 11 months, 12th free. The calculator and bands live on /pricing — this page does not re-price the product.

No. DGate records maintenance dues, collections, and flat ledgers for the committee and shows owners what they owe. Statutory accounts, GST returns, and a CA-signed audit stay with your accountant. Gateway charges on Razorpay collections are the gateway’s fees, not a DGate add-on.

One subscription. The whole society OS.

Start with 1 month free. Count flats, pick a slab on pricing, go live with gate and maintenance accounting together — not a module shopping list.
