Why the Industry Needs a New Era of Innovation
For years, property managers have relied on a mix of outdated software, spreadsheets, call centres, and bolt-on tools to run their operations. Even the modern platforms that claim to “simplify property management” often fall into the same trap: they focus on digitising old processes, not transforming them.
Legacy Systems Digitalise, Doorap Modernises
The majority of property systems on the market today are simply digital versions of old manual processes. They replaced physical files with dashboards, but not the admin burden that comes with them.
Other Systems:
❌ Digitise tasks but don’t remove them
❌ Require manual data entry, follow-ups, and human intervention
❌ Designed for admin, not intelligent automation
Doorap:
- Uses AI and automation to remove tasks from your workload entirely
- Streamlines operations and reduces decision-making time
- Rebuilds processes from the ground up to fit how modern property businesses work
Doorap isn’t “software to help you work.” It’s a platform that does the work with you and for you.
Built-In AI vs “AI-Enabled” or Bolt-On Tools
Many property tools market themselves as “AI-powered,” yet rely on external third-party assistants.
This is bolt-on AI, not transformation.
Other Systems:
🔌 Add AI as a plugin or integration
🧩 Limited context, limited data access, generic responses
💸 Extra subscription or extra setup required
Doorap – Built-In AI (Dori):
🤖 AI integrated into the core system
📍 Understands your properties, tenants, history, tasks and patterns
⚡ Creates tasks, handles enquiries, manages comms & initiates workflows
💬 Acts as a 24/7 AI Receptionist and Assistant
Doorap isn’t “using AI to enhance features”, the platform itself is built on AI.
One System vs Multiple Subscriptions
Property businesses today use 6–12 different tools to manage operations:
A PMS (Property Management System)
CRM
Communication tool
Maintenance platform
Accountant software
Digital signature tool
Recruitment & HR tools
Tenant engagement apps
Training or compliance systems
Call answering services
Not only is this expensive, it creates fragmented data, inefficiency, and confusion.
Doorap replaces all of this with one unified ecosystem.
Other Systems = Tech Stack Bloat
Doorap = One Login. One Platform. One Truth.
Built by Founders Who Lived the Pain, Not by Corporates
Most property software is built by large corporate teams with limited hands-on industry experience. That’s why they often miss the nuances, real workflow issues, and frontline challenges.
Doorap is founder-led, built by people who have lived the frustrations of the property sector, from tenant management and compliance to contractor coordination and growing a portfolio.
This means:
✅ Features are based on real needs, not guesswork
✅ Faster product evolution and innovation cycles
✅ Customer feedback directly influences product roadmap
Doorap is crafted with industry empathy, not corporate distance.
Doorap Isn’t Just a Software, It’s a Property Ecosystem
Where others stop at management software, Doorap is built with a greater vision:
To connect, improve, and automate every part of the property industry.
Our roadmap goes beyond operations, into transformation:
Coming to Doorap:
🔹 Recruitment & hiring portal for property talent
🔹 Training and up-skilling for tradespeople
🔹 Digital postbox for tenants, landlords, and documents

This isn’t a PMS.
It’s the evolution of property technology.
