Why just manage your society’s day-to-day operations in an old-fashioned way when you can infinitely improve them with the help of technology?
MyGate, awarded as Best community management app by Times Now may have started with the simple premise of managing incoming and outgoing footfall in the society, but have quickly taken a metamorphic role of enhancing every single aspect of residential living in ways unimagined before.
From touch-free attendance, super-compliant delivery workflows to the easy digital financial management of large societies involving complex transactions, MyGate has improved the quality of operations in societies while keeping the residents safe and well-equipped to deal with Covid pandemic as well as other emergencies.
This article explores the essential value-added services provided by society ERP apps over and above the routine management features.
1. Security management
Panic Alert
In case if anything goes wrong (fire, accident, or other threatening situation), residents can preconfigure their close contacts like family, friends and raise an instant alarm through the app shortcut. The security guard too will be notified.
Overstay alert
If a cab driver, delivery boy, or vendor is found to be on the premises past their business, the guard will be notified so that no suspicious events or activities can occur.
Photo capture
In case you have a new visitor/vendor/guest/acquaintance dropping in whom you’ve never seen before, the guard has the feature to capture their photo and send it to you for verification. If anything seems amiss, you can always refuse entry.
Home integration
Approving or rejecting visitors is even more sophisticated and easier with seamless integration of the app with Alexa and Google consoles.
Data privacy
All of the data is stored securely in the cloud and the guards do not have access to residents’ personal information including phone numbers. Data servers do not use public accessible addresses or IP. The access is further secured through a VPN tunnel with 2FA (2-factor authentication). Additionally, the guards are extensively trained to use the app and 24/7 customer support is available.

SPO2 Readings (wherein the guards can capture oxygen levels of residents, visitors, and service providers) can also be done in the app.
Mandatory Leave At Gate
Society residents can set the default delivery mode as ‘mandatory leave at gate’ and collect the package securely through a passcode so that no chance of contracting Covid-19 can occur. Additionally, the movement of service staff/maids can be tracked to see if they’ve breached containment zone protocol.
