propertyCOMPANION — for property owners with an in-house maintenance team

See what's happening with your buildings.

Your whole portfolio in one building log: every report, every job done, every receipt — every euro assigned to a house. Your people talk it in by voice message, the system does the sorting. No location tracking, no stopwatch: self-reporting. For businesses that work with their own caretakers and employed tradespeople.

How the industry runs today

A quick ask, WhatsApp, a yellow sticky note —
afterwards nobody knows what happened where.

In businesses like yours, there is usually no software at all for the people in the field. Things get reported by a quick ask and by chat: the tenant calls, the caretaker gets stopped in the corridor, the photo lands in the group chat. The work still gets done — but at the end of the month it has no building, no cost centre, no service-charge drawer to file it in.

“In the end, it often couldn’t really be billed.” — That sentence costs property owners hard cash every year.

The core

Automated cost allocation.

The established tools demand the job order beforehand — and let exactly the work slip through that happens on the spot. With the Companion, logging it after the fact is as easy as talking.

Talking instead of typing

“Swapped two light bulbs as well, 20 minutes.”

One voice message in your own Telegram or Signal chat is enough. It becomes a completed ad-hoc job with duration, material and the service-charge question — assigned to the right house. Anything unclear becomes a report to the office; nothing quietly goes missing.

Receipt photo

The DIY-store receipt finds its site

Photograph the receipt, done. Image analysis checks merchant, amount and date, assigns the receipt to the running site — and files contradictions as a report instead of glossing over them.

Alias layer

“Schneider, Genthiner Straße” is enough

The anchor is always the unit, never the person. Tenant name and location are ways to search; what gets stored is the identifier. If something is ambiguous, the Companion asks — it never guesses.

The building log

The building log is the truth.

Every member of staff has their own chat and their own dashboard — everyone works on the same building log. Records are written once and only ever appended, never altered. With fourteen people writing at the same time, nobody silently loses their entry.

The state of a job follows from the reports attached to it — not from whatever someone overwrote last.

Written once, only appended, never lost No silent overwrites, no lost entries — the history stays complete.
Site management Chain of trades, cost and hours breakdown per site, a traffic-light status per house, archive by year.
Approvals only on the dashboard Money discipline is enforced mechanically: the chat can neither grant nor confirm approvals — such requests become a draft on the approvals page.
Role dashboards

Everyone sees what they need.
No more, no less.

Sign-in with a password and a code via your own Telegram or Signal chat. Three roles, three views:

Boss

The whole business

All buildings, all sites, all costs. A morning brief to start the day, an approvals watch to your phone every 15 minutes.

Back office

The running day

Reports, jobs, approval drafts, answers to the field within five minutes — without site and staff management.

Field

Your own day

A morning list at 6:30, your own sites, your own jobs — read-only, no money figures. Reporting happens in chat, as always.

A look inside

This is what it looks like.

Not a concept mock-up — the running dashboard. Keep scrolling: the screen moves through five views of the business.

Boss — approvals

Whatever is waiting for a decision sits at the top. Below it, the reports from the field: delegate or mark done, with one click.

Buildings

Every house with its status: nothing open — or one job open. Search by house, tenant, work, identifier.

Staff

Who has what open, who has reported today, when last heard from — no location tracking, no stopwatch.

Sites

Chain of trades, material and hours, vacancy in days — all on one sheet.

Field — My day

The same data, a different view: your own jobs, your own site, what you reported today — read-only, no money figures. Reporting happens in chat.

Red lines

What the Companion deliberately does not do.

Trust inside the business is the precondition for a tool like this being used at all. So these are not missing features — they are commitments.

No location tracking, no stopwatch

GPS tells you where the van was parked — not what happened at the house. The Companion works on self-reporting: your people tell it what they did. There is no measured time and no tracking. That is anchored in the code, not in the terms and conditions: what the Companion may not do, it cannot do.

No tax advice

Posting and classifying stay with your tax adviser — and for that, they get a clean cost breakdown per house and site from us.

No ERP promises

Your list of units comes in by file import — that works for everyone, Excel included. The cost breakdown goes to the tax adviser as a file. We promise no more than that until it runs reliably.

propertyCOMPANION runs on the open foundation of VEYA, developed by us specifically for this. Anyone can inspect the core.

Your building log lives on a server you rent yourself — under your contract, with your access. No surprises in the small print. 

Who it's for

For businesses that own their houses
and maintain them themselves.

Made for

Small property managers with their own portfolio, housing cooperatives, municipal housing companies, private owners — businesses up to around a hundred buildings that work with their own caretakers and employed tradespeople, and spend their own money.

Pricing

One price for the whole business.

No bundles, no modules, no tiers by number of buildings. What the propertyCOMPANION costs hangs on a single number: how many people work with it.

€291/ month

for teams up to 5 seats

or €3,500 a year

Each additional seat €41 a month or €500 a year · 12-month minimum term · plus VAT

Try it free for 30 days.

The trial begins with the set-up — the contract is already signed by then, but costs nothing yet, and you can cancel at any time within these 30 days. From day 31, the twelve-month minimum term begins. You can pay monthly or yearly — paying monthly costs no more. After the minimum term, the contract renews for another year each time — cancellable with one month's notice to the end of the term.

Starting with the whole team? Then begin with a pilot project: four weeks at a fixed price, set up together, with a success criterion we agree on beforehand. It ends with a decision — and if you go ahead, the pilot fee is credited against your first year.

All in

Jobs by chat, the building log, cost allocation per house, sites with chain of trades, approvals, role dashboards. No modules, no surcharges.

The base is built in

Every seat carries the base skills of the family too: email, calendar, web search, image understanding, speaking and answering by voice.

For everyone in the business

Every seat gets its own Companion and its own dashboard — on the device your people carry anyway, phone or tablet. Reporting happens by voice message via Telegram or Signal, checking happens in the dashboard, which is right there in the browser. Nothing gets installed, no device has to be set up. Plus a separate boss dashboard that brings together what belongs together in the business.

Set-up included

No setup fee, no activation fee. Around 60 minutes, together, on your server.

More than five seats

Each additional seat costs €41 a month or €500 a year — with its own Companion, its own dashboard and access to the boss dashboard. No minimum purchase.

What comes on top

A small server (VPS) for around €5–10 a month, rented directly from a hoster of your choice, and model costs based on usage. Together a few euros a month.

Common questions

What property owners ask us.

What is the propertyCOMPANION?

An AI agent for property owners with their own in-house maintenance team. Your people report by chat what they did at which house — the Companion assigns it to the building, keeps the building log and shows you in the dashboard what is open and what it cost. Not a property-management suite, not a CRM.

Who is it for?

For small and mid-sized property owners: property managers with their own portfolio, housing cooperatives, municipal housing companies, private owners — businesses up to around a hundred buildings with their own caretakers and employed tradespeople.

Where does our data live?

On your own server. No data harvesting — the building log is yours, physically. You can take it with you in full at any time.

Do our tradespeople have to learn an app?

No. Reporting happens in chat, just like WhatsApp before — only that the report now lands on the building instead of in a group thread. The dashboard is read-only; anyone who only wants to report doesn't need it.

What does it cost?

€291 a month or €3,500 a year for teams up to 5 seats — a Companion and dashboard for everyone, plus a separate boss dashboard. Each additional seat €41 a month or €500 a year. Paying monthly costs no more. All plus VAT. The first 30 days are free; after that the twelve-month minimum term begins, and the contract then renews for another year each time — cancellable with one month's notice to the end of the term. Add a small server (around €5–10 a month) and model costs. Set-up is included — no setup fee, no activation fee: around 60 minutes, together, on your server.

How does a pilot project work?

For teams that want to start together: four weeks at a fixed price, set up together, with a success criterion agreed in advance. It ends with a decision meeting — nothing quietly rolls on. If you go ahead, the pilot fee is credited against your first year. If not, we remove the Companion from your server again.

How do I cancel if I no longer need the Companion?

With an ordinary cancellation – at any time during the trial, and after the minimum term with one month's notice to the end of the term — otherwise the contract renews for another year. Write to us. Then we remove it from the server together with you.

Contact

Does your business recognise itself here?

Then write us a line about your portfolio and your team — [email protected]. We read everything ourselves and reply in English, usually within one working day — with an honest answer to whether the Companion suits your business. The set-up we do together with you, on your server.

Get in touch What it costs

As with all VEYA COMPANIONs, the honest running costs come on top: a small server (VPS) for around €5–10 a month, rented directly from a hoster of your choice, and model costs based on usage.
