01 Service charges
Owners pay into a shared pot, and the argument is always about what it bought.
- Running account per unit
- Budget against actual spend
- Arrears and reminders
- Shared-facility cost allocation
Lusail is new, dense and still filling up, so handover from developer to owners’ association is the live problem — and that is an accounting problem.

A/C 2000 · Why boards switch
Every unit has a running account: opening balance, charges raised, receipts, arrears, closing balance. Owners can see how their money was spent.
The moment a developer hands a tower to its owners’ association is where balances go missing. Opening positions, corpus and asset registers transfer as records, not as a spreadsheet.
Not a translated menu. The whole interface runs right-to-left in Arabic, so an Arabic-speaking committee member reads the same ledger as everyone else.
Villa compounds and high-rises use the same books, the same gate and the same staff records — useful when one association owns both.

A/C 5000 · Built for how a Qatari building is actually run.
Qatar has no GST, so we do not pretend to solve one. These are the things that genuinely decide whether a tower’s accounts hold up.
Owners pay into a shared pot, and the argument is always about what it bought.
The moment a tower passes from developer to owners’ association is where balances go missing.
Two things every Qatar building needs that most software treats as edge cases.

Every screen is a resource config rendered by one component, so a new module is a backend slice and a thin page, not a new app. Here is the entire surface, with what runs today marked honestly.
A/C 7000 · One console to run it. One app to live in it.
The full surface for the board, the facility manager and the accountant. Every module, every report, in English or Arabic.
An app that shows each person only their world. A guard sees the gate. An owner sees their unit, their service charge and their visitors.
Yes. ManageDen keeps unit-level accounts, an owner register and shared-facility costs in one ledger, so a board can show any owner exactly what their service charge paid for.
Yes. Arabic is a full right-to-left interface, not a language toggle over an English layout, and residents can use Arabic while the accountant works in English.
Yes. Corporate leases are common in Qatar, so an invoice can be raised against an employer while the unit still shows who lives there.
Yes. Owner, tenant and corporate occupant are separate records against the same unit, so dues follow the right payer.
