HOUSING SOCIETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT REPORT
INTRODUCTION
Generally , in society all the work is decided in meetings
and maintenance bills, contact no of members are noted on the papers. There is
no automated system for doing all the things that generally happen in society ,
so that members can come to know what is happening in society. This system of
maintaining a society is made in such a way , so that the most common problem
faced in residential societies are solved. This system is a cloud based system
to manage day-to-day activities of any co-operative housing society . they
require the co-ordination among the respective management societies coupled
with the vendors which provide these services so that the appropriate
convenience can be provided. The main functionality of this project is that ,
there is a online billing and accounting (payment gateway integration , income
& expense tracking ,etc.).In this system the bills , receipts and vouchers
are created in easy manner also the system is user friendly.
EXISTING SYSTEM - HOUSING SOCIETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT
As we all are aware of the current housing society
management system which is handled manually. The data is stored in the files
and the processing of the data is done manually and the report generation is
slow. Data which is required cannot be accessed quickly. The data is stored in
various registers so the linking between it becomes difficult. Voting is
conducted in the society for various designations like secretary, treasurer,
chairman, etc members need to be present on the site for voting. Due to some
reasons some members cannot be present & cast vote. Our proposed system has
a feature of online voting which will provide anytime anywhere access to the
members. Booking a hall for celebration in a society was a difficult work as
details were on paper and were only accessible only to the authority which may
create confusion when more than one people want to celebrate in same hall .
This software system generates maintenance bill automatically and manually. It
generates bill for all members at single click. In this system bills can be
generated as per multiple of months i.e. monthly or yearly, due day of bills
can be assigned. This software concentrates mainly on generation of bills
whereas our system consists of various other features of society which are
exact replica of the real happenings in the society.
PROPOSED SYSTEM - HOUSING SOCIETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT
Our proposed system is cloud based and has automated
functionality for generating monthly maintenance and member can view their bill
status on their account. The main functionality of our project is that, there
is a online bill payment system, online voting system for different society
positions like Secretary, Chairman, Treasurer Etc. Members can vote the
candidates that are standing for different roles in society. This System allows
members to login with their own account and get updated with society
happenings. Datepicker is a Jquery function that allows user to select date in
user friendly manner for allocation of dates.
There are various
ways in which we can implement our system like on local server, on website but
there are some drawbacks using the system so we have come up with the concept
of cloud.
A. SMOnline on local
server
1) In this type, the system is implemented and deployed on a
local server existing in the housing complex itself.
2) These systems can be handled by only the society manager,
they are difficult to use and even more difficult to implement because of
various needs of different societies.
B. SMOnline on website
1) In this type the SMOnline is based on a website server.
This type is based on a website and requires an internet connection.
2) The main problem with this system is that even if it is
on a website, the application needs to be edited as per the requirement of the
society. This proves to be a expensive and tedious task.
C. SMOnline on cloud
1) This is the latest way to implement SMOnline. It provides
all the features of the above type along with the additional feature of a
multitenant cloud platform.
2) Multi-tenancy allows a developer to develop a single
application and cater it to various needs of different societies.
3) Another major plus point about cloud is that it is
economically efficient and there is no down time on the system.
4) The data of the system is secure because it is
automatically backed up by the cloud.
The following modules are included in our project:
A. User
Management SMOnline allows societies to create user accounts for each member in
one of the following 2 ways:
1) Add members individually using the system admin console
2) Add several users at once by uploading their details in a
spreadsheet.
3) On successful account creation, the system sends an
automated email, containing the user ID and password, to every member.
4) The system implements role based access control. Thus,
every user account is assigned a role which acquires permissions to perform
system functions, defined for a particular role.
B. Vendors Management 1)
Details of vendors providing different services like
Security, Housekeeping, Pest Control, Equipment Maintenance etc. can be stored
and managed with SMOnline.
2) For all AMC contracts, the system will track details such
as due dates for payments, designated assets, date of servicing, contract
renewal dates, etc.
C. Income Tracking
1) Raise invoices against all flats or select flats based on
area or based on a fixed amount. 2) Setup Recurring Invoices to automatically
post invoices on a given date
3) Members receive email and SMS whenever an invoice is
raised against their unit 4) Advance payments or partial payments can be easily
noted and tracked against any flat
5) Track Non-member income such as stall rentals, bank
interest paid etc under separate heads
6) Select and send email/SMS reminders to defaulters on the
payments to be made.
D. Expense Tracking
1) Enter Bills provided by Vendors, Track payments made
against each bill, with service tax paid and TDS deducted
2) Segregate expenses between Capital Expenditure versus
Maintenance Expenses 3) Record and track ad-hoc expenses of the apartment
association under various heads
4) Record fields such as expense description, expense date,
payment mode, to whom was it paid etc.
5) Uploaded Expenses in an excel format 6) Get Budget
Variance Reports to monitor if the spending is as per plan
7) Query and view expense statements for any month or
multiple months
8) Download the expense statements in excel or print the
expense reports directly
9) Treasurer can publish expense statements to notice board
and to owners at the click of a button
E. Payments
1) With SMOnline, society members can pay their dues
(monthly maintenance charges, penalties, additional contributions for special
events, etc.) online using a credit card, a debit card or a Net Banking
account.
2) On successful payment of dues, members receive instant
e-receipts which can be saved or printed for future reference.
3) Members can view/download receipts for all past payments
online at anytime
F. Online Notice Board
1) Notices can be posted to everyone in the complex.
2) All notices will additionally be emailed to the members
(based on the notification settings).

till the expiry date of the notice
G. EMAIL Broadcast
1) Administrators can send instant messages by Email to all
members
2) Useful in case of emergencies or to communicate important
messages urgently
3) Shortcuts to send messages to different category of
members - such as all owners, tenants, committee members of the society
association, administrator
H. Classifieds

CONCLUSIONS - HOUSING SOCIETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT
Society management system come up with the actual working of
a society, by working “in the cloud,” where housing society management
providers can rapidly implement and operate applications that are secure and
not expensive, while enjoying lower maintenance and upgrade costs throughout
the relationship. Message and Email alerts for various happenings in the
society can be added to the system so that users do not miss the updates and
happenings of the society. Online billing sytem, Administration, working,
online voting, etc. are the key features of our project. The software is flexible
enough to be modified and implemented as per user requirements. We have tried
our best to make this system free and user–friendly website to Society members.
It is a timely and cost effective solution to your society management problems
which will make you money, save you money and make your job easier.
FUTURE SCOPE - HOUSING SOCIETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROJECT
This project can be enhanced further by Developing a Mobile
App. Also we can Develop a Full Fledged accounting module. The software is
flexible enough to be modified and implemented as per future requirements.
