A resident app your schemes can use, beside the accounting you already run

Strata managers already have accounting and trust software. What schemes often lack is one place where owners, tenants and on-site staff see the same record. Watchdog Strata fills that gap without replacing your back office.

Short answerWatchdog Strata works alongside strata management accounting software. It gives each scheme a resident and owner app for maintenance tickets, notices, quote comparison and owners’ polls, tenant registers and access cards. It does not handle trust accounting or levies, so strata managers keep their existing systems for finance.

Where does it fit next to strata accounting software?

Keep your accounting, levy and trust systems. Watchdog Strata covers the parts residents touch every week: reporting issues, reading notices, collecting parcels and requesting access cards. For owners, it adds visibility of every building issue and how it was resolved.

Quotes and owners’ polls

When the owners corporation needs to pick a contractor, the building manager or committee uploads competing quotes. Owners compare them side by side and vote in an owners’ poll: one vote per lot, strata-roll owners only, results hidden until close.

An owners’ poll shows where owners stand. It does not replace a general meeting or committee resolution required by your state’s Act. Formal decisions still follow the meeting rules. See voting rules by state.

Cleaner registers

Owners keep their own tenant list up to date, the building manager approves, and integrity alerts flag mismatched owner, agent or tenancy details. That makes the scheme’s contact information more reliable when you need it.

What strata managers should know

  • Owners and residents can use it in English or Simplified Chinese.
  • There is nothing to install from an app store.
  • A$999 per building per year, any size, with 3 months free. Residents never pay. See pricing.

Questions people ask

Does Watchdog Strata replace my strata accounting software?

No. It doesn’t do trust accounting or levy collection. It sits beside your accounting software as the resident and owner app.

Can I roll it out to several schemes?

Yes. Each building gets its own instance and link, with its own data and building manager.

Is the owners’ poll a legal vote?

No. It supports decisions by showing owners’ preferences. Statutory votes still happen at general or committee meetings under the state’s legislation.
