Your whole portfolio, handled

From lease signature to landlord payout.

✓

3-way automated invoicing

Tenant invoice, landlord statement and agent commission generated automatically each cycle.

✓

Leases & e-signing

Tenant, landlord and agent each sign online by typing their name — legally binding under the ECT Act 25 of 2002.

✓

Maintenance tickets

Tenants log issues with photos; you track them to completion with full history.

✓

Three self-service portals

Tenant, landlord and agent portals for statements, invoices, documents, leases and maintenance.

✓

Payments & payouts

Collect by PayFast or EFT, import your bank statement to reconcile, and record landlord payouts.

✓

Payroll & inspections

Agent commission and payslips, plus structured property inspection workflows.

Everything EstateFlow does

The six above are the headline acts. Here's the rest of what running an agency actually takes.

📄 Leasing & compliance

✓

Lease template editor

Edit the full built-in agreement in your own words or write your own. Bold and italic, click-to-insert placeholders, and a live preview on your own letterhead.

✓

Signed means signed

A lease's wording is frozen onto it the moment it's issued, so editing your template can never rewrite an agreement somebody already signed.

✓

Roll out new terms

Re-issue an updated agreement to live leases in one click. Every tenant is emailed the new PDF, and you choose whether they must re-sign.

✓

Required documents

Choose what every tenant must upload — ID, proof of address, payslip, bank statement. They see what's outstanding; so do you.

✓

Onboarding pipeline

Application → screening → deposit → lease sent → signing → active. Derived from what actually happened, and rechecked every night.

✓

Expiry & renewals

What's expiring in 30, 60 or 90 days — plus leases that already lapsed — colour-coded by urgency, with the rent at risk.

💰 Billing & money

✓

Billing runs itself

Rent, utilities, management fees and commission raised monthly without you. Set how many days before the 1st it runs; it catches up anything missed.

✓

Money in vs money out

Tenants pay you; you pay landlords. Two opposite flows kept firmly apart — separate totals, a true net figure, and revenue that means revenue.

✓

PayFast online payments

A Pay Now button on every tenant invoice. Confirmed straight back into the system, matched to the invoice and receipted automatically.

✓

Bank CSV reconciliation

Import your bank statement and let it match deposits to invoices by reference. Whatever won't match is flagged, not lost.

✓

VAT & late fees

Not VAT-registered? Switch VAT off and it vanishes from every document. Late fees apply themselves after your grace period.

✓

Payroll & commission

Commission accrues as rent is billed, then flows into payslips with salary and bonuses. Know what you owe before you pay it.

💬 Communication

✓

SMS with a prepaid wallet

Text tenants, landlords and agents from inside the system. Top up by PayFast; each message deducts automatically. Failed sends are refunded.

✓

Tick exactly what sends

Portal logins, statements, invoices, payments, overdue notices, ticket updates — each its own switch. Nothing goes out unless you asked.

✓

Your own overdue cadence

Choose how many days after the due date the first reminder goes, and how often it repeats. Set repeat to zero to nudge once and stop.

✓

Editable SMS templates

See exactly what every automatic text says and change it. A live preview shows the finished message and what it costs — before you send 200.

✓

Write to anyone

A Message button on every tenant, landlord and agent. Email or SMS, previewed exactly as they'll receive it, with your signature added for you.

✓

Your own mail server

Connect your SMTP so everything arrives from your domain. Your clients see your agency — never Vivid.

📈 Insight

✓

P&L by billing month

Rent counted in the month it's for — June's rent paid in late May counts as June. Collected, your take, paid out, payroll, net profit.

✓

True occupancy

Occupied, awaiting signature, vacant, under maintenance — from leases that are genuinely live, not a stale flag. Plus what the empties cost you.

✓

Tenant arrears

Who owes what, for how long, against which property — oldest first, so today's difficult phone call is at the top of the list.

✓

Property performance

Rent collected against maintenance spent, per property, ranked by what it nets. The quiet money-loser has nowhere to hide.

✓

Live dashboard

Occupancy, arrears and revenue at a glance, with a real twelve-month income graph and every tenant mid-onboarding.

✓

Full audit trail

Every record, invoice, payment, signature and message — who, when and from where. Searchable, and not quietly editable.

👥 Self-service portals

✓

Tenant portal

Invoices, pay online, read and sign the lease, upload documents, log maintenance with photos, browse other properties to apply for.

✓

Landlord portal

Statements and payout history, property performance, maintenance, and their own leases to review and sign — without phoning you for a PDF.

✓

Agent portal

Their properties, their tenants, their commission and the leases waiting on their signature. Everything they need, nothing they shouldn't see.

✓

Works on a phone

Every portal works properly on mobile, because that's where tenants are. Sign a lease or photograph a burst geyser on the spot.

✓

Live signing status

A panel showing who has signed and who you're still waiting on — and the office is emailed the moment anyone signs.

✓

One-click invites

Create a portal login and email or text it straight from the record. Reset it just as easily when someone forgets.

🔧 Operations & admin

✓

Contractors

Your trade list with their own logins. Assign a ticket, they're emailed, they upload the invoice — and it flows onto the landlord's statement.

✓

Photo evidence

Tenants attach up to five photos when logging a problem, so you can price the job before anyone drives out to look at it.

✓

Inspections

Move-in, move-out and periodic inspections recorded against the property, stored beside the lease and the deposit they justify.

✓

Team & permissions

Admin, finance, rental agent, maintenance — each role sees exactly what it should, and portal users can never reach the back office.

✓

Your brand, not ours

Your logo, colour, company details and banking on every invoice, statement, lease and email. Your clients only ever see you.

✓

Nothing is ever lost

Delete a property and it archives rather than vanishes — restorable in a click, refused outright while a tenant still lives there. Daily backups behind it all.
