Features & how it works
Makaano is software (not housing, not a rental provider) that your company or housing operator uses to know who sleeps in every bed and stay on top of licensing requirements and maintenance, with an app for workers in their own language.

- Check-in, transfers and check-out with a full history

Makaano will calculate maximum capacity per room and washroom ratios, and alert you before you exceed licensed capacity or your license expires.
- Maximum capacity calculated per room
- Alerts before exceeding licensed capacity
- Reminders before license expiry and renewal
Resident requests in their language
Residents will send a photo or voice note in Urdu, Hindi or Bengali, and the supervisor will receive it translated into Arabic and categorised.
