BAB (باب) — One Door. Every Story. BAB is the all-in-one management platform for gated residential communities. Designed for owners, residents, tenants, guards, and boards — BAB replaces paper logs, group-chat chaos, and spreadsheet management with a single secure digital platform. QR SECURITY & VISITOR MANAGEMENT Issue digital visitor passes with time-limited QR codes. Guards scan at the gate — no paper, no missed records. Vehicle plate recognition speeds up repeat-visitor approvals. Full access audit trail with automatic data-retention limits. MAINTENANCE & WORK ORDERS Residents submit maintenance requests with photos. Management assigns to staff or vendors, and residents can request a management-approved service provider from inside a request, with management approval when the compound requires it. Track status from open to assigned to resolved. No group-chat chains, no lost tickets. BOARD GOVERNANCE & VOTING Formal association ballots with certified voter rolls, secret voting sealed until close, timestamped receipts, and revocation before the deadline. Board elections run start to finish: owners self-nominate, voting opens on the candidate slate, and officers are seated automatically by vote rank. Vote weighting per person, per unit, or by ownership share — set per your governing documents. Every closed ballot produces a certified tabulation report for your minutes. The union head and treasurer review the annual budget, maintenance fund and reserve, and approve or reject pending expenses with a recorded reason. DUES & COMMUNITY FINANCES Transparent dues and fee management. Contributions tracked per unit with full ledger history. RENTALS INSIDE THE COMPOUND Owners list their unit for rent; management reviews the listing before it is published. People looking for a home browse listings and request a viewing, arranged inside the app. VEHICLE REPORTS Report a vehicle to Security, or alert its owner by plate number. FULLY BILINGUAL (ENGLISH & ARABIC) Complete English/Arabic interface with full RTL support. Every screen, notification, and invoice — in both languages. FEATURES • Digital visitor & vehicle passes with QR scan validation • Multi-role access: Residents, Owners, Guards, Vendors, Board Members • Board elections with nominations, weighted voting, and automatic officer positions • Community polls with live or sealed results • Maintenance request tracking with photo attachments • Push notifications for visitor approvals, maintenance updates, and board decisions • Offline-capable guard interface (works without internet) • Emergency alert system with GPS location tagging • Amenity booking & community event management BAB is built for gated communities, HOAs, and residential compounds — from 50 to 10,000 units.
