EstateDeck handles photo-proofed gate parcels with 4-digit PIN pickup at one end, and a walled-garden marketplace where only verified residents buy, sell, and rent — at the other. Two modules. One society app. Zero commission.
Apartment parcel management software is a digital system that maintains a complete chain of custody for every delivery arriving at a housing society gate. When a parcel arrives, the security guard photographs it and logs it against the recipient flat. The resident is pinged instantly; if not home, they tap Leave at Gate and a one-time 4-digit PIN is issued for secure pickup.
EstateDeck pairs this with a residents-only classifieds marketplace — a walled-garden space where verified neighbours buy, sell, rent parking slots, and find home services. Every action carries a timestamp, every photo is dispute-proof, and every transaction stays within the four walls of your society.
Two distinct lifestyle features that solve two of the loudest daily frustrations in Indian housing societies — and they share the same secure resident database underneath.
Every delivery photographed, logged, and PIN-secured. Residents notified instantly. Cabin never overflows. Chain of custody admissible under Section 65B of the IT Act 2000.
A walled-garden marketplace where only verified residents of your society can view or post. Zero commission. IT Intermediary Rules 2021 compliant with a Grievance Officer.
A 540-flat society in Bengaluru clocks 60–90 parcels at the gate every single day. Photo proof at the start, PIN-verified pickup at the end, and aging alerts in between — that's how the cabin stops being a warehouse.
Delivery executive hands the parcel over. Guard scans the flat number on the gate tablet.
Guard snaps the parcel showing the label. Push notification fires to the resident.
Resident taps Leave at Gate. EstateDeck issues a one-time 4-digit PIN.
Reminders at Day 1 / 3 / 5 until collected. Admin sees uncollected backlog.
Resident shows PIN. Guard verifies. Custody log closes — IT Act §65B admissible.
Every parcel arrives with a photo, every storage event with a timestamp, every pickup with a PIN log. Together they form an electronic record admissible in dispute.
The security cabin is for parcels in transit — not long-term storage. EstateDeck keeps it that way automatically.
Items found in common areas — car keys, umbrellas, school bags — get logged here. The broadcast happens through the dedicated notice channel.
OLX has strangers. Facebook Marketplace has bots. Your residents have a sofa to sell, a parking slot to rent, and a home baker to discover. EstateDeck Classifieds is built for exactly that — and nothing else.
Sell your dining table to a neighbour two floors down. They walk up to pick it up. No courier. No OLX strangers. No bargaining-bot DMs at 11 PM.
Travelling for a week? List your slot, get paid, come back to a clean handback. This page owns the listing & booking layer; the actual gate access is granted via ANPR.
The home baker in Flat 304. The yoga teacher in B-Wing. The tailor who comes home with measurements. EstateDeck makes them findable inside the society.
Mr. Arjun Hegde took charge as Hon. Treasurer of Indigo Greens Apartment Owners' Association — a 540-flat community across 6 towers on Varthur Main Road, Bengaluru-560087, registered as a Section 8 company under the Companies Act 2013 with the KAOA 1972 deed of declaration. The previous month, the gate had logged 3,247 parcels on paper. 14 went missing, 11 cabin-overflow complaints hit the RWA WhatsApp group. Here's what month 1 on EstateDeck looked like.
Gate tablet in. Two guards trained. Every Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy Instamart, BlueDart parcel now photographed on arrival. 3,098 parcels logged in week 1 alone — push notifications firing to residents in seconds.
Within 4 days, 61% of residents choose Leave-at-Gate. EstateDeck issues 1,890 PINs. Cabin organised by rack number. Pickup-PIN rejection rate: zero (because each PIN is one-time and flat-specific).
Day-3 nudges go to 47 flats with uncollected parcels. By Day 5, only 9 flats remain. The Hon. Secretary's manual chasing time drops to zero. Cabin-Full flag fires twice — both clear in under 6 hours.
Classifieds opens. 240+ listings by mid-month — sofas, ACs, prams, a homeschool tutor, a Saturday baker. Arjun, named Grievance Officer per IT Rules 2021, fields 3 minor complaints — all resolved within 24 hours.
Eleven residents list slots while away on vacation. Renters' plates auto-added to the ANPR allow-list. Slot ownership rolls back automatically at end-date. ₹2,800–₹4,500 changes hands per rental — entirely peer-to-peer.
Month closes with 0 missing parcels, 0 cabin-overflow complaints, and ₹2.8 lakh of peer-to-peer furniture and gear traded inside the society. Arjun files the marketplace's IT Rules 2021 quarterly compliance report — one click.
Parcel chain-of-custody isn't only operational hygiene — it's evidence under the IT Act. A residents-only marketplace makes your RWA an intermediary under Indian e-commerce rules. EstateDeck takes the compliance heavy lifting off the committee.
| Framework | Applies To | What EstateDeck Handles |
|---|---|---|
IT Act 2000 §65B |
Parcel chain-of-custody as electronic evidence | Photo + timestamp + PIN log bundled in a §65B-admissible electronic record format. |
| IT Rules 2021 | Classifieds marketplace as "social media intermediary" | Designated Grievance Officer (society's chosen role), 24-hour acknowledgement, 15-day resolution, 36-hour takedown SOP for illegal content. |
| DPDP Act 2023 | Resident personal data — photos, phones, KYC | Channel-by-channel consent at onboarding. Phone numbers never exposed in listings. Phase I notified 13 Nov 2025; full compliance by 13 May 2027. |
| Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules 2020 | Seller-display obligations for resident sellers | Rule 4(2) seller-info fields built into the listing form — name, flat, contact channel — without exposing phone publicly. |
| CGST Act 2017 | GST treatment of peer-to-peer C2C sales | Zero platform commission means no marketplace GST. C2C resident sales below the ₹40 lakh turnover threshold (₹20 lakh in special category states) are not GST-taxable. |
| UIDAI Aadhaar Masking | If KYC is captured for marketplace verification | Aadhaar numbers shown as XXXX-XXXX-1234 per UIDAI circular — no full Aadhaar ever stored or displayed. |
The IT Intermediary Rules 2021 specifically — the rulebook that governs platforms hosting user-generated content like classifieds listings — designates "Significant Social Media Intermediary" obligations for platforms above 50 lakh users. A society-scale marketplace falls well below that threshold, but the Grievance Officer and takedown SOP requirements apply to all intermediaries regardless of size. EstateDeck makes those obligations a one-form setup at onboarding, not a legal project.
| What Matters | EstateDeck Classifieds | OLX / Facebook Marketplace |
|---|---|---|
| Who can see listings | Verified neighbours only — same society | Anyone in the city — strangers included |
| Seller verification | 100% verified residents against society database | Unverified profiles, bots, fake accounts |
| Delivery logistics | Same building — walk it upstairs or to the gate | Courier costs, scheduling, pickup risks |
| Phone number privacy | Hidden until both parties choose to share | Often exposed in the first message |
| Commission | Zero — completely free | Varies; some categories carry listing fees |
| Parking slot rental | Built in — digital gate access included | Not available; informal arrangements only |
| Grievance redressal | Society Grievance Officer + 36-hour takedown | Generic platform support, slow response |
| Home services trust | Neighbour reviews + real gate visit data | Unverified reviews + paid promotions |
| Data residency | Indian data centres, DPDP Act-aligned | Global platforms, variable jurisdiction |
Two modules sit here. Four sibling modules own the territory next door — each linked below so you land on the exact page for your need.
When the lift notice board fails. When OLX is too risky. When the cabin is full and someone's pram has been there for a week. These are the moments.
Tap Leave at Gate. Groceries stored. PIN waits. Pick up at 8 PM after office. Nothing spoils, nothing goes missing, no third call to the guard.
List the slot. Neighbour with two cars books it. ANPR adds their plate to the allow-list. ₹3,000 changes hands. Slot reverts automatically when you're back.
Open the arrival photo. The crushed corner is already on record. Courier dispute closes with photo evidence in minutes — not "we'll investigate" emails for weeks.
Post it Saturday morning. Neighbour two floors down buys it by lunch. They carry it up themselves. No OLX strangers, no courier negotiation, no zero-effort low-ballers.
Guard flags Cabin-Full. Bulky parcel acceptance pauses. Day-1, Day-3, Day-5 reminders escalate to backlog flats. By Sunday evening, cabin's clear again.
Browse the Home Services directory. Three tutors live in the same complex. Read reviews from other parents in the society. Book the one with 4.8 stars.
Guard photographs it, logs it as Lost & Found. The broadcast goes via Communication — not duplicated here. Owner identifies; collection logged.
List both in Baby Gear. New parents two buildings away buy both for a fair price. Less landfill, less wasted money, more neighbourly favour-economy.
Apartment parcel management software is a digital system that maintains a complete chain of custody for every delivery arriving at a housing society gate. When a parcel arrives, the security guard photographs it and logs it against the recipient flat. The resident is pinged instantly; if not home, they tap Leave at Gate and a one-time 4-digit PIN is issued for secure pickup. Every action — arrival, storage, PIN issue, collection — carries a timestamp and forms an electronic record admissible under Section 65B of the IT Act 2000. EstateDeck's module additionally adds aging alerts at Day 1 / 3 / 5 and a security-cabin-overflow flag so the gate never turns into a warehouse.
When a delivery arrives, the security guard scans the resident's flat number into EstateDeck on a gate tablet and photographs the parcel. The resident receives an instant push notification with the photo. If they aren't home, they tap Leave at Gate. The guard stores the parcel in the secure rack; EstateDeck issues a one-time 4-digit PIN sent only to the resident. The resident shows the PIN at the gate to collect. Photo + timestamp + PIN log together form an IT Act 2000 §65B-compliant electronic record, dispute-proof at audit.
No. EstateDeck Classifieds is a closed, walled-garden marketplace — only verified residents of your specific housing society can view or post listings. There is no public-facing page, no search-engine indexing of listings, no strangers from outside the society. Every seller and buyer is a confirmed neighbour, verified against the society's unit and resident database. This is what makes it safer than OLX, Facebook Marketplace, or Quikr.
EstateDeck operates the marketplace under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021. The society designates a Grievance Officer at onboarding (typically the Honorary Secretary or an MC-designated member). Any resident can lodge a complaint about a listing through an in-app form; the Grievance Officer must acknowledge within 24 hours and act within 15 days. Patently illegal content (counterfeit, restricted-substance, weapons) is taken down within 36 hours. The society's Grievance Officer details are published in-app and in the resident handbook, meeting the publication obligation under the Rules.
Yes. A resident travelling or with an unused slot lists it on EstateDeck Classifieds with dates and rate. Another resident books it via the app. The actual parking ownership database lives in the Unit Management module — EstateDeck creates a temporary slot reassignment record there. Vehicle gate access for the renter's car is granted through the ANPR module (or RFID equivalent) for the duration of the rental, with automatic revert on the end date. The classifieds page owns the listing and booking layer; the slot database and gate-access mechanism live in their respective modules.
EstateDeck has three mechanisms working together. First, aging alerts fire automatically — gentle reminder at Day 1, firmer at Day 3, urgent at Day 5 — escalating until the resident collects. Second, the admin dashboard shows every uncollected parcel by flat number with days-on-shelf — the Hon. Secretary can intervene for chronic offenders. Third, the security guard can flag Cabin Full, which temporarily pauses acceptance of bulky items (large boxes, white goods) until backlog clears. Most societies report cabin overflow incidents drop to near-zero within the first month.
No. EstateDeck Classifieds is entirely zero-commission. Whether it's a furniture sale, a parking slot rental, or a home service booking, no commission is charged on any peer-to-peer transaction between residents. Payment between residents happens directly — UPI, cash, or whatever they prefer — outside the app. Because EstateDeck never holds funds, the marketplace is not a payment aggregator and does not need RBI PA-O registration. Resident-to-resident sales below the CGST Act 2017 turnover threshold of ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for special category states) are not GST-taxable.
Furniture, electronics, kitchen appliances, children's toys and clothes, bicycles, baby gear (prams, cribs, high chairs), vehicles (with proper RC transfer guidance), and home services. The Home Services directory is a separate sub-section for resident entrepreneurs — bakers, tutors, yoga instructors, tailors, pet sitters, henna artists. Anything restricted under the IT Intermediary Rules 2021 — counterfeit goods, weapons, controlled substances, content infringing intellectual property — is prohibited and subject to the 36-hour takedown SOP.
Yes. Initial contact is via EstateDeck's in-app chat. The seller's phone number is not visible to the buyer; the buyer's phone number is not visible to the seller. Both parties choose whether to share personal contact details at any point. Resident phone numbers fall under DPDP Act 2023 personal data — EstateDeck captures explicit consent for each channel at resident onboarding and never makes phone numbers visible across the marketplace listing pages.
Yes — the modules are designed to interlock, but each owns a clear part of the workflow. The delivery executive at the gate is first identified by Visitor Management (visitor entry log + Aadhaar-masked ID capture per UIDAI guidelines). Once identified, the parcel-specific workflow (photograph, log, PIN issue, pickup) belongs to this page. For parking slot rentals, gate access for the renter's vehicle is granted by ANPR for the duration of the rental. Each module owns a well-defined slice of the gate experience.
End parcel chaos at your gate and give residents a private marketplace inside their own society app — DPDP-Act ready, IT Rules 2021 compliant, and zero commission. Setup in 7 days.
