App Offers a New Age Solution
W
ith the digital revolution well and truly
under way, it makes perfect sense that
the property industry would follow suit.
South African property role players will be only too
happy to welcome one of the latest proptech solutions
to reach our sunny shores. We love discovering
handy new technology that makes life easier for the
investor, estate agent, or contractor. Imfuna aims to
do just that, with three business productivity tools
aimed at the rental agent, property inspector, and
construction specialist respectively.
A New Age of Productivity
Well-established in both the UK and US, this handy
platform is now offering South African property role-
players the same benefits. In short, Imfuna works as
a digital archive of a property’s reports – from rental
inspections to progress on a construction site. By
using this platform, mountains of paperwork and
repetitive tasks are eliminated. Instead, all parties
involved get instant access to any and all relevant
information regarding the property in question.
Making use of mobile technology, users are never
out of touch with their property’s status or progress.
Home is Where the Information Is
Knowing the state of your property can be a true
headache for many investors. While this app doesn’t
do the inspections for you, it does enable you to
capture any and all relevant information and share it
with all role-players.
A major component of the property investment
world is the buy-to-let market. By using Imfuna
Rent, you can create detailed property reports – both
for ingoing and outgoing inspections. As a result,
you and any relevant partners have 24/7 access to
your asset’s state. This eliminates a large part of the

property inspector’s headache, since unnecessary
paperwork is avoided. On top of that, you’re able to
create a side-by-side report of ingoing and outgoing
inspections. As a result, you can easily see where
potential issues have arisen. Imfuna Home Inspector
enhances transparency during the home buying and
selling process, informing all parties of relevant
property details.
The Building Blocks of Success
Contractors and investors often have a hard time
keeping one another up to date in real-time. Building
a new property or upgrading an existing one can be
a stressful time, leaving little time for paperwork
and back-and-forth communication. With Imfuna
Construction Inspector, you’re able to conduct real-
time progress inspections on construction projects.
This leads to a more unified process, with each role-
player being kept up to date with current problems.
Whether you need a weekly report, an overall
summary, or to f lag specific issues, there are several
layout options to suit your project’s requirements.
The platform also enhances efficiency, with the
support of dictation and optional transcription
services – saving up to 75% of the time required to
produce finished reports. Furthermore, the app has
standard default templates and users can develop
their own fully customised templates to suit their
business needs.
In an increasingly busy and fast-paced market,
we need all the help we can get when it comes to
paperwork and record-keeping. By keeping all role-
players up to date on your property, you avoid time-
wasting and increase productivity.
