Field Notes
from a working dashboard.
Where Jarakey runs, what it runs into, and the playbooks we build along the way.
We’ve launched in Lekki: the estate capital of Lagos
Lekki does not rest. It is a peninsula of estates, each with its own gate, its own log book, its own rent roll. If a property platform can hold its nerve across all of them, it can hold its nerve anywhere in Nigeria.

Every state has its own way of running properties. We document the version of Jarakey we ship for each one as we land there.

Locations · 5 minIkeja: where mainland calm meets airport-level traffic
Ikeja is mainland in temperament and Lagos in pace. The estates here have history. The tenants here have memories. Both deserve a property platform that does not pretend the calendar started yesterday.
Locations · 5 minVictoria Island: where one manager runs three towers
VI is dense, vertical, and unforgiving. We built Jarakey here for the property managers running 200 units across three towers with tools that were never designed for that load.
How it plays in real life
Concrete setups for the parts of property management nobody enjoys. Rent. Codes. Bills. Maintenance. The chasing.
Rent collection that does not make you the bad guy
The reminder goes out, the bank alert lands, the receipt updates the rent roll. You stay the landlord, not the debt collector.
Playbooks · 4 minVisitor codes that actually work at the gate
The tenant sends a code. The gate scans it. The code goes inactive. Nobody calls anybody. The visit happens.
Playbooks · 4 minMaintenance requests, without the WhatsApp graveyard
Every leak you have ever lost track of started life as a 9 PM message in a group chat. Jarakey turns them into tickets that survive a phone change.
