Buniva

Buniva (HomeManager) is a property management software for landlords and property managers across Africa who want to automate rent collection, invoicing, and tenant administration.

Key capabilities include:

• Automatic rent invoicing and receipts: Generates monthly rent invoices automatically and sends receipts instantly by SMS or email when payments are received.
• Digital rent collection and reconciliation: Supports M-Pesa payments in Kenya and card/mobile money via PesaPal where available, with auto-reconciliation to tenant accounts; elsewhere, payments can be recorded manually.
• Tenant self-service and maintenance: A tenant portal lets tenants view balances, pay rent, check payment history, and submit maintenance requests.
• Operations and reporting: Built-in late fee automation (grace periods and penalties), water and utility billing using sub-meter readings with tiered or flat rates, and a real-time dashboard for income, arrears, occupancy, and collection rates.

Available on Web and Android (mobile app).

Designed for individual landlords, diaspora landlords, caretakers, and property management teams managing one or multiple properties, with multi-user access and role-based permissions.

Notable for its Africa-focused setup, including five languages, 21+ currencies, and local integrations such as M-Pesa and KRA eTIMS readiness in Kenya, plus an AI assistant that answers questions like “who hasn’t paid?” using the user’s actual portfolio data. Pricing is subscription-based with a 30-day free trial (no card required) and plans based on unit count (Starter $59/month up to 20 units, Growth $139/month up to 100, Scale $349/month up to 500, Enterprise custom).
