Broker portal with listing management and a commission ledger tied to signed leases
`Maintenance Request` DocType with assignment, priority, status workflow, and SLA/complaint tracking

Built for ERPNext v15/v16 with clean upgrade path and coexistence with existing accounting, CRM, and payment setups

About this Product

Real estate firms and landlords running on ERPNext quickly hit a wall: ERPNext ships strong accounting, buying, and selling, but it has no native concept of a property, a rentable unit, a floor/block hierarchy, or a lease that generates recurring rent on its own schedule. Teams end up modeling buildings as warehouses, tenancies as loose subscriptions, and rent runs as manually keyed sales invoices — which breaks the moment you need escalation clauses, deposit accounting, meter-based utility recovery, or a portal where a tenant can raise a complaint. The Subscription DocType covers simple recurring billing but knows nothing about occupancy, vacancy, notice periods, or renewals.

ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe application (its own installable app with a dedicated module) that adds first-class DocTypes for Property, Property Unit (with parent floor/block links), Lease Contract, Tenant, Landlord, Broker, Maintenance Request, and Utility Reading. Lease contracts drive automated rent invoicing through Frappe scheduler events (scheduler_events in hooks.py) that generate ERPNext Sales Invoices against the correct customer, cost center, and income account on each billing cycle, and apply escalation rules on the contract anniversary. Document lifecycle logic — proration on move-in, deposit hold and refund postings, status transitions from Draft to Active to Terminated — is enforced through on_submit, validate, and on_cancel server-side controller methods and doc_events hooks, never left to manual discipline. Client scripts add unit-availability checks and dynamic filters in the desk UI.

The three portals (tenant, landlord, broker) are built on Frappe's web/portal layer with role-scoped visibility. A tenant signs in to see their active lease, invoice and payment history, deposit balance, and can submit a Maintenance Request that routes into an assignment and SLA-tracked workflow; a landlord sees occupancy, rent roll, and net income across their portfolio; a broker sees their listings and commission ledger. Access is governed by ERPNext role profiles, permission rules, and User Permissions so a tenant can never read another tenant's records. Where you need to push data to a mobile app, website, or external CRM, we expose whitelisted methods (@frappe.whitelist()) and use the standard Frappe REST API rather than direct database access.

Utility and meter billing is handled as its own flow: meter readings are captured per unit, consumption is computed against the previous reading, and a scheduled job raises the utility charge as an invoice line or a separate invoice per your accounting preference. Deposits are tracked as liabilities with clean refund and deduction postings, so your ledger stays audit-clean. Everything is built against ERPNext v15/v16 conventions so it upgrades cleanly and coexists with the accounting, CRM, and payments you already run.

Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships as an anonymous marketplace download. We start with a scoping call to confirm your unit hierarchy, lease and escalation rules, tax treatment, and portal requirements, then build to that spec. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. You get the installable app source for your version, a UAT pass on a staging bench with a documented rollback plan, install and configuration on your instance, technical and user documentation, a training session, and a post-go-live support window — plus the Git repository handed over so you own what you paid for.

What you get

  • Installable Frappe app source code for your ERPNext version (v15 or v16), packaged as a proper app with its own module
  • Installation and configuration on your instance, including role profiles, permissions, and scheduler setup
  • UAT on a staging bench with a signed-off test plan and a documented rollback procedure
  • Technical documentation: DocType schemas, hooks, whitelisted methods, and scheduler events
  • End-user guide plus a live training session for your property and finance teams
  • Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration questions
  • Git repository handover so you fully own the source and history
  • Data migration/seed assistance for existing properties, units, and active leases (where source data is provided)

Who this is for

Property Management Company

Manages residential and commercial portfolios for multiple owners and needs automated rent runs, arrears tracking, deposit accounting, and a tenant portal for maintenance — without keying invoices by hand each month.

Residential & Commercial Landlord

Owns and directly leases units and wants a single ERPNext view of occupancy, rent roll, escalation schedules, and net income per building, plus clean deposit and utility recovery on the ledger.

Real Estate Brokerage

Lists and leases units on behalf of owners and needs listing management, a commission ledger tied to signed leases, and broker-scoped access that keeps client and tenant data separated.

GCC / South Asia Operations Manager

Runs day-to-day leasing across regions with local tax and escalation conventions, and needs SLA-tracked maintenance handling, multi-portal access control, and reporting that finance and ownership both trust.

Frequently Asked Questions about Real Estate & Property Management Suite

Is this an off-the-shelf app I can download and install right now?

No. This is a build-to-order engagement. ECOSIRE scopes your requirements, builds the Frappe app against your ERPNext version, tests it on a staging bench, and installs it on your instance. There is no instant marketplace download — you receive source code built and validated for your setup.

How long does delivery take?

Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. The timeline depends on how many portals you need, the complexity of your lease and escalation rules, tax treatment, and any data migration. We confirm a firm schedule after the scoping call.

Which ERPNext versions do you support?

We build for ERPNext and Frappe v15 and v16, following current DocType, hooks, and portal conventions so the app upgrades cleanly and coexists with your existing accounting, CRM, and payment modules.

How does rent invoicing actually work under the hood?

Each `Lease Contract` drives a Frappe scheduler event defined in `hooks.py` that generates a native ERPNext Sales Invoice on the billing cycle, against the correct customer, income account, and cost center. Escalation is applied on the contract anniversary through server-side controller logic, and deposits post as tracked liabilities.

Can tenants, landlords, and brokers each have their own secure login?

Yes. The tenant, landlord, and broker portals are built on Frappe's web/portal layer and secured with ERPNext role profiles, permission rules, and User Permissions. A tenant can only see their own lease, invoices, deposit, and maintenance requests — never another party's records.

What about ongoing support and updates after go-live?

Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration questions. Because you receive the full Git repository, you own the source outright; ECOSIRE can also provide ongoing maintenance, version upgrades, and new-feature work under a separate support arrangement.

Can it integrate with our website, mobile app, or external CRM?

Yes. We expose whitelisted methods (`@frappe.whitelist()`) and use the standard Frappe REST API so external systems read and write through supported endpoints rather than touching the database directly — keeping your integrations safe across upgrades.
