Features

?How does automated WhatsApp rent reminder work?

On each tenant's billing cycle, SatraM sends three WhatsApp reminders automatically: 3 days before due date, 1 day before, and on the due date. When a tenant pays, a WhatsApp receipt goes out instantly. You do zero manual chasing.

?Can I manage multiple PG properties from one login?

Yes. SatraM supports multi-hostel management out of the box. Switch between properties with one click. Consolidated revenue, occupancy, and expense analytics across every hostel you own.

?Does SatraM generate GST-compliant invoices?

Yes. Every tenant invoice is GST-compliant with your GSTIN, hostel address, and correct tax breakdown. Export in bulk for your accountant.

?Can tenants raise complaints inside SatraM?

Yes. Tenants raise maintenance complaints from their portal. Owners see them in a queue, assign priority (P0/P1/P2), route to staff, and track resolution SLA.

?Does SatraM track staff and salaries?

Yes. Manage your full staff roster — cooks, cleaners, security, wardens — with attendance, monthly salary ledger, and role-based access to the SatraM app.

?What analytics does SatraM offer?
