Property Automate Expands to Africa Following Success in Middle East and India

After transforming the real estate landscape in the Middle East and India, Property Automate, a leading property and facility management software company, has officially announced its expansion into Africa, with a strategic focus on Central and West Africa.

As cities across Africa experience rapid urbanization and infrastructure development, the need for efficient property and facility management solutions has become critical. From commercial buildings and shopping complexes to residential estates and industrial parks, the real estate ecosystem in Africa is growing—but so are its challenges.

“We see Africa as the next big leap,” said Mr. Sheriff Ismail, CEO of Property Automate. “The demand for organized property management is surging across Central and West Africa. There’s a significant opportunity here—not just to scale our business, but to genuinely solve the operational headaches property owners and facility managers face every day.”

Property Automate’s cloud-based platform enables seamless oversight of property operations through tools like automated maintenance scheduling, asset lifecycle tracking, real-time alerts, energy management, and tenant communication modules. The result: reduced operational costs, increased efficiency, and improved tenant satisfaction.

The decision to expand into Africa was fueled by several factors. The region’s growing urban centers—such as Lagos, Accra, Abidjan, Douala, and Kinshasa—are rapidly attracting both local and international investments. However, many properties still rely on manual or fragmented systems to manage daily operations, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and loss of revenue.

“Property owners are looking for smarter, scalable solutions that can grow with their portfolios,” Mr. Ismile explained. “Our technology has proven successful in emerging markets, and we’re confident that African real estate professionals will see the same value.”

Additionally, the rise in mobile and internet connectivity across the continent creates a fertile environment for digital adoption. Property Automate plans to invest in local partnerships, talent development, and customized solutions tailored to the region’s unique infrastructure and market needs.

As Africa prepares for its next wave of urban growth, Property Automate’s entry into the market marks a turning point for real estate innovation. With a solid foundation in Asia and the Middle East, the company is now poised to help reshape how properties are managed, maintained, and scaled in Africa—starting in the heart of its most dynamic regions.
