timeline The Workflow

From Gate to Approval in Under 10 Seconds

Here's exactly what happens when a visitor arrives, when a bill goes out, and when a complaint is raised — every flow, end to end.

Visitor Flow

The 4-Step Visitor Workflow

Optimised for speed at the gate, ergonomics for the resident, and audit-grade logging for the admin.

1

Visitor Arrives at the Gate

The guard opens the Gatewyse Guard app — already logged in. Tap "Add Visitor", capture a photo (optional), type the visitor's phone number or scan their gate pass QR.

  • check_circle Auto-fill if visitor has been here before
  • check_circle Quick-tap purpose chips (Guest, Delivery, Cab, Service)
  • check_circle Pick the destination flat from a searchable list
  • check_circle Total time: under 5 seconds
2

Resident Gets a Push Notification

Within milliseconds, every resident of that flat receives a rich push notification — visitor name, photo, purpose, and timestamp.

  • check_circle Multi-resident fan-out (owner + tenants + family)
  • check_circle Visitor photo embedded in the notification
  • check_circle Works on iOS & Android, screen on or off
  • check_circle Quiet hours respected if configured
3

One-Tap Approve or Deny

Approve or deny right from the notification — without ever opening the app. The first resident to act wins; everyone else's notification updates instantly.

  • check_circle Inline action buttons in the notification
  • check_circle Reason picker for denials
  • check_circle Configurable auto-approval timeout
  • check_circle Co-tenant override rules supported
4

Guard Sees the Decision & Logs Entry

The guard's screen updates in real time. Approved? Open the gate, log entry time. Denied? Inform the visitor politely. Either way, every step is timestamped and stored.

  • check_circle Real-time status banner on guard screen
  • check_circle Entry & exit time auto-logged
  • check_circle Full audit trail for admins
  • check_circle Daily/weekly visitor reports
Other Flows

More Than Just Visitors

The same care goes into billing, complaints, notices, and gate passes.

Pre-Approved Gate Pass

Resident generates a QR pass → shares via WhatsApp → visitor shows it → guard scans → gate opens. Total time: 2 seconds.

account_balance_wallet

Maintenance Billing

Admin sets a billing rule once → system auto-generates dues every month → residents get notifications → pay via UPI → ledger updates instantly.

report

Complaint Lifecycle

Resident raises → admin assigns → staff resolves → resident verifies → closed. Photos, comments, SLA tracking all built in.

campaign

Society Notices

Admin posts once → every resident gets a push → read receipts roll in. WhatsApp groups become optional.

Move-In / Move-Out

Owner adds a tenant → tenant verifies via OTP → admin approves → flat occupancy updated → bills auto-redirected.

Staff Onboarding

Admin invites a guard → guard installs the app → logs in with OTP → assigned to the gate → ready for shift.

How is Gatewyse This Fast?

Three architectural decisions that compound:

  • Push-first design: visitor events fan out via Firebase Cloud Messaging the instant the guard taps "Submit". Average end-to-end latency is well under one second.
  • Native Kotlin Multiplatform: the same codebase ships native UI on iOS and Android. No web view, no React Native bridge — every animation runs at 60 fps.
  • Society-scoped data isolation: every API call is scoped to societyId server-side. Guards see only their gate, residents see only their flat, admins see only their society. Lookup queries are O(log n) instead of O(n).

The result: every workflow that used to take a phone call now takes a tap.
