John Mutua manages 30 units in Hurlingham, Nairobi. Before Royalmark, he spent 20+ hours weekly on manual tasks: creating invoices, tracking payments, calculating balances, generating reports. After implementing Royalmark, these tasks are automated, saving 20 hours weekly (80 hours monthly) that he now invests in growing his business.
The Time Drain of Manual Management
John's weekly routine included: creating 30 invoices in Excel (4 hours), tracking payments manually (6 hours), calculating outstanding balances (3 hours), generating reports (4 hours), following up on late payments (3 hours). Total: 20 hours weekly on repetitive tasks.
Complete Automation
Royalmark automates all these tasks: invoices created automatically, payments tracked in real-time, balances calculated automatically, reports generated on-demand, reminders sent automatically. John now spends 2 hours weekly on property management (only for strategic decisions and tenant relations).
