Smart society app

Abstract
Apart from individual expenses, living in a housing society involves upkeep, maintenance, and upgrade of areas which are not directly under any individual’s ownership. This requires not only payments to the society complex or resident welfare association but also adequate communication and transparency between the members and management. Payments to the society complex for maintenance, in a usual set-up is done by writing cheques or in cash. Communication and transparency between members and society is maintained through annual reports of finances and meetings. However, the current system of maintaining housing society requires tremendous man power, time and human interaction. For example: notifying members about power shedding, water shortage, bill payment for maintenance requires human interaction. Given the current situation of COVID-19 such interaction is to be avoided. Apart from the pandemic situation the usual methods of maintenance of a society are still cost inefficient, time consuming and lack transparency between society members and management. It can also be inefficient due to delay in addressing of complaints and grievances due to varied reasons So, we are here with an android application that will provide assistance to society members and committee. This application contains different features that will overcome the drawbacks of maintaining housing societies via traditional methods. Few of the features are as follows:- Notice: This feature will update the notices. Complaints/ Grievance: The feature will result in early redressal making it more efficient. Online Maintenance bill payment: This feature will avoid human interaction and give the liberty to pay from any where and any time with ease, Gate Pass: This feature will provide an extra security measure to the society and Contacts: This feature will contain contact information of important individuals such as committee members, security guards will help in quick redressals.
