- Step challenge
Priya in D-302 has a baby stroller her son outgrew. She posts it on the society WhatsApp group, where it sits between a water cut notice and forty good morning messages, and sells it on a classifieds site to a stranger instead.
A lot of what neighbours need from each other is small: a used cot, a reliable maid agency, the medical store that delivers after 9 pm, a tenant for the empty flat on the fifth floor. In most societies that all goes through one noisy WhatsApp group, and the useful posts are gone by lunch.
SocietyConnect gives each of these its own place inside the app residents already use for dues and notices. Buy and sell posts carry a price and photos. Local shops list their products for your pincode. Jobs and flat listings stay up until the poster closes them. The step challenge gives the morning walkers something to compete over.

How a local shop goes live
From a shopkeeper’s phone to your society’s Shops screen
- 01
Register the shop
The shopkeeper signs up in the shop app with the shop name, address and pincode.
- 02
Add products and terms
Products with price, unit, photo and in-stock status, plus any offer, delivery fee, minimum order, free delivery threshold and delivery time.
- 03
Submit for approval
The draft goes to the Infoways platform team, who approve it or send it back with a reason.
- 04
Visible by pincode
Once approved, the shop shows to every SocietyConnect society with the same pincode.
- 05
Residents get in touch
Residents call, open WhatsApp or send an enquiry about a product, and can leave a rating and review. The shopkeeper sees enquiries and replies to reviews.
Step challenge
A leaderboard for the morning walkers
The phone’s step counter feeds the day’s total, which syncs to the society leaderboard while the screen is open. Record a walk traces the route by GPS and adds the distance and steps to your day. The committee can start a challenge with a title and dates, and the leaderboard switches between today, this week and the challenge.
Residents who would rather not appear on the leaderboard switch off Share my steps. The counter needs the phone’s activity permission; without it the screen says so plainly.
- Steps from the phone’s sensor
- Recorded walks with route and distance
- Opt out of the leaderboard any time
- Daily goal of 10,000 steps shown on the weekly chart
- Used by
- Residents, local shopkeepers in their own shop app, and the committee.
- Shops shown
- Approved shops with the same pincode as your society.
- Private
- My Money spends, budgets and goals are seen only by the resident who enters them.
- Cost to try
- Free for 90 days with every SocietyConnect module on.
My Money
A private spending diary that the committee never sees
My Money is for the household, not the society. Residents note what they spend on groceries, food, bills, fuel, shopping, health and travel, set a monthly limit and category budgets, and watch where the money went. A short tip points out the biggest spend of the month.
The screen says it in plain words: only you can see this, and it is separate from your society dues. Nothing here reaches the committee or the society’s books. For paying the society, see maintenance payments.
- Monthly limit with progress bar
- Budgets per category
- Savings goals with target dates
- Visible only to the person who enters it

Straight answers
What it does not do yet
Worth knowing before you announce it to residents.
- There is no private chat between buyer and seller yet. Interested buyers comment on the sale post, and residents can share a number there if they choose.
- Residents cannot order or pay shops inside the app. They call, WhatsApp or send an enquiry, and settle with the shop directly.
- New shops go live only after the Infoways platform team approves them, and they show only where the pincode matches.
- The step count depends on the phone’s activity sensor and permission. Some phones do not report steps.
- My Money is a manual diary. It does not read bank SMS or connect to bank accounts.
- The apps are not on the Play Store or App Store yet. We share the Android apps with your society during setup, and iPhone users use the web portal.
Give your residents a better place than the group chat
We set up your society, invite the shops you already use if they want to join, and show residents around, free for 90 days.
FAQ
Community and marketplace: common questions
What is an apartment community app?
It is the part of a society app where residents deal with each other and the neighbourhood: selling things, finding local shops and services, posting jobs and flats, and joining community activities. In SocietyConnect it sits alongside dues, notices and the helpdesk.
How do residents buy and sell in SocietyConnect?
A resident creates a sale post in the community feed with a title, price, condition and photos. Interested neighbours comment on the post, and the seller marks it sold. There is no private chat yet.
Which local shops show up in the app?
Shops that a shopkeeper registers in the shop app and the Infoways platform team approves. A shop shows to societies with the same pincode.
Can residents order from shops in the app?
Not yet. Residents can call the shop, open WhatsApp or send an enquiry about a product, and pay the shop directly.
Can the committee see my My Money entries?
No. My Money is private to the resident who enters it and is kept separate from society dues and the society’s accounts.
Can I stay off the step leaderboard?
Yes. Switch off Share my steps and your steps stay on your phone’s screen without appearing on the community leaderboard.
Is the community module free?
It is free for 90 days with every module on. After that the society gets a written quote. Nothing is charged automatically.
