Off-plan inventory control
Units, floors, views, areas in square feet and square metres, with status that prevents the same unit being sold by two agencies working the same launch.

Developer-side software for UAE off-plan sales
The UAE has no shortage of real estate CRM. Almost all of it is built for brokers: capture a Bayut or Property Finder lead, assign an agent, chase a commission. Developers need something else — off-plan inventory that cannot be double-sold, DLD payment plans tied to certified construction progress, Oqood registration state, escrow release position, and handover with snagging. That is what PropERP covers.
Broker software and developer software solve different problems
A brokerage's constraint is lead volume and agent productivity. A developer's constraint is that a single unit carries a sale price, a regulated payment plan, an escrow account, a registration obligation and a construction timeline — and all five have to agree with each other for four years.
That is why a broker CRM cannot be stretched into a developer system. It has no concept of a payment plan milestone gated on an engineer's certificate, no escrow position, no Oqood state, and no handover snag list. Those are not missing features; they are a different product.
PropERP is built for the developer side of the transaction and works the same way in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, with agency and sub-agency commission handled as a channel rather than as the core.
One off-plan unit, fully positioned
Sale value, collected amount, escrow position and certified construction progress on one record — with each DLD milestone showing its trigger and status.

What the UAE deployment covers
DLD payment plans
Percentage-based milestones tied to booking, Oqood, construction stages and handover, with each stage carrying its trigger, amount and current status.
Oqood registration
Registration number, date, the 4% DLD fee and its split between developer and buyer, held on the unit rather than in a separate compliance folder.
Escrow account tracking
Amounts held in the project trust account and draw releases against certified progress, so a release request cannot run ahead of the engineer's certificate.
SPA and handover
SPA execution dates, NOC status, completion certificate, handover appointment and the snag list per unit, closed out with evidence.
Multi-agency commission
Agency, sub-agency and in-house sales on the same unit, with commission accruing on collected amounts and disputes resolved by attribution timestamp.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a broker CRM?
No, and deliberately so. It is developer-side software: you own the inventory, the payment plans, the escrow position and the handover obligation. Brokers appear in it as channel partners earning commission, not as the primary user.
Does it handle Oqood registration?
Yes. Oqood number, registration date, the DLD fee and its split between developer and buyer sit on the unit record, alongside the payment plan milestone that the registration triggers.
Can it track escrow releases against construction progress?
Yes. Certified progress percentages are recorded per project, and draw releases are tied to them, so a release cannot be raised ahead of the certificate that justifies it.
Does it work for Abu Dhabi and Sharjah as well as Dubai?
Yes. The payment plan, escrow and handover structures are configurable per project, and emirate-specific registration references are held on the unit. Dubai's DLD and Oqood flow is the most fully modelled because it is the most standardised.
Is Arabic supported?
The current interface is English. Arabic is on the roadmap rather than shipped, and we would rather say that plainly than imply otherwise on a compliance-sensitive purchase.
