WeconnectU News

At WeconnectU, we’ve never just been about software. We’ve always believed that transforming the property management industry means rolling up our sleeves, getting involved, and engaging with the people who power it – you. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that ENGAGE 2026 is officially on its way, and it's going to be bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever before! With over 2,500 clients expected at our in-person roadshow, and 1,500 more joining us online, ENGAGE 2026 isn’t just South Africa’s largest property management event – it’s become Africa’s flagship gathering for industry professionals. And we couldn’t be prouder.

The Hidden Crisis No One Is Talking About. As community schemes evolve and the property landscape shifts heading into 2026, one issue is quickly becoming impossible to ignore: levies in arrears. In this webinar, we cut through the noise and go straight to the heart of the matter — exploring how widespread the arrears problem truly is, how new technology is transforming enforcement, and what recent court rulings mean for trustees and managing agents. Whether you're a trustee, investor, managing agent, or owner in a sectional title scheme, this discussion offers crucial insights — including what prospective buyers should be checking before committing to a scheme in 2026.

We’re thrilled to share that WeconnectU has once again been named Best Property Management Software Company (South Africa) by Corporate Vision Magazine at the 2025 Technology Innovator Awards. This marks our third consecutive win in the category – an achievement we’re immensely proud of, not just for the spotlight it brings, but for what it represents: Shared progress. Real-world impact. And the trust of thousands of property professionals across South Africa who use – and help shape – our ecosystem every day. You’re the reason we exist, and the reason we remain the home of intelligent property management software.

For more than a decade, RedRabbit has been reshaping inspections and maintenance management — transforming clipboard chaos into digital clarity. From streamlined inspections to integrated ticketing workflows, every innovation has been driven by a single mission: to create more valuable and valued property managers. This month, RedRabbit continues that journey of value and innovation with the release of a major new feature — Enterprise Insights — designed to transform operational data into real-time intelligence.

How WeconnectU turns community meetings into your most powerful leadership platform.

Following the resounding success of last year’s first-ever rentals-focused online event, we’re back – and this year’s edition is bigger, bolder, and more focused than ever. Designed specifically for South African rental professionals, our upcoming online event will build on the momentum sweeping through the industry, as hundreds of property managers embrace the shift from rental administration to true rental asset management. That momentum hasn’t stopped. Over the past 12 months, more than 200 new clients have joined the WeconnectU ecosystem, adding over 50,000 assets to our platform. Since launching our Rental Asset Management Solution in 2019, we’ve seen a growing wave of adoption – not just of the tools, but of the asset management mindset itself.

Is your technology just a collection of systems, or is it a true solution and partnership for growth? As South Africa’s property landscape becomes more complex and competitive, the tools you choose will either hold you back or drive you forward. At WeconnectU, we know the future of property management doesn’t lie in fragmented systems. It lies in intelligent, integrated solutions built by the industry, for the industry. And we’re leading the way.

Here’s the truth: your value doesn’t exist if clients can’t perceive it. You can be the hardest-working property manager in the country, but if trustees don’t see what you do, they won’t believe the impact you’re making. That’s why shaping perception matters. Every touchpoint — every call, report, meeting, or WhatsApp — either reinforces your value or undermines it.

RedRabbit has never just been about inspections. It’s always been about transformation – replacing clipboards with mobile inspections, embedding maintenance into intelligent workflows, and helping rental professionals do more with less. All while delivering greater value to clients. Now, we’re turning the page to our next chapter: Enterprise Insights – a dynamic reporting feature that shifts property data from static to strategic, and from information to instant action.

Let’s be honest: property managers wear a lot of hats. You’re the go-to problem solver, the late-night call taker, and the financial custodian of someone else’s most valuable asset. And while a lot of people still think rental management is “just admin”, those of us in the know understand the truth: rental asset management is about protecting portfolios, maximising returns, and building trust.
