Dec 10, 2024 | Facility Manager, Kenya, Residential, Syokimau

Managing multi-tenanted estates is like conducting an orchestra – ensuring everything runs smoothly while juggling multiple responsibilities. A key challenge is maintaining financial stability while delivering uninterrupted services. Stima Village in Syokimau, south of Nairobi, has tackled this through technology.

 

Stima Village Overview

Stima Village is a 76-unit residential estate in Syokimau, 3.5 kilometers from Mombasa Road. It features shared facilities like a gym, swimming pool, landscaped gardens, playground, shopping center, borehole water supply, sewer treatment plant, and perimeter walls.

The Challenge

Delayed Service Charge Payments: Late payments disrupted operations and financial planning.  

Utility Costs: High electricity costs for borehole water pumping burdened the estate.  

Lack of Tracking Systems: The absence of a proper accounting system led to financial inefficiencies. 

 

The Solution

In late 2022, Stima Village adopted Venco’s property management platform, yielding significant results:  

Automated Billing and Payments: Service charge collection became seamless, reducing delays.  

Smart Prepaid Meters: These minimized water waste and electricity costs, as residents paid for individual usage.  

Revenue Tracking: Real-time data enhanced transparency in financial management.  

Streamlined Communication: Automated notifications improved resident compliance.
