Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How long does setup take?
Most communities are fully onboarded within a week. We handle data migration, user setup, and provide training for your management team and security personnel.
Do residents need to download an app?
Yes, FiWi Community is available on both iOS and Android. Residents use the app for visitor registration, checking balances, receiving announcements, and more.
What do we need to get started?
A list of your lots/units and homeowner contact information. If you use QuickBooks, we'll connect to your existing data. We handle the rest — including training your security guards.
Can we try before we commit?
We offer a personalized demo where you can see the full platform in action for your specific community. Schedule a demo and we'll walk you through everything.

Product & Features

What's included in the software subscription?
Every plan includes the full platform: visitor management with QR check-in, resident mobile app (iOS & Android), accounting and invoice management, delinquency tracking with automated reminders, community announcements, document portal, service request management, and security shift tools.
What are the automated QR gate scanners?
These are cloud-managed hardware devices installed at your gates or doors that automatically read visitor QR codes and grant entry — no guard interaction needed. Each scanner includes professional installation and configuration. Guards can also scan QR codes from their phone as part of the base software, so the hardware is optional.
How does the QuickBooks integration work?
FiWi syncs with your QuickBooks Online account to pull invoices, payments, and credit memos in real time. Residents see their balances instantly through the app. Your accounting workflow stays the same — FiWi reads your existing data.
Can residents make payments through the app?
Residents can view their balances and invoices through the app. Payment processing depends on your community's setup — we integrate with your existing payment infrastructure.

Pricing & Billing

How much does FiWi cost?
Software pricing is per-unit: $200/month flat for up to 50 units (Starter), $2.00/unit for 51-200 (Standard), $1.75/unit for 201-500 (Growth), and custom pricing for 500+. Automated gate scanners are optional at $50/month rental or $1,000 one-time purchase per scanner.
Do you offer discounts for property management companies?
Yes. Companies managing 2-4 communities receive 10% off software, and those managing 5 or more receive 15% off. Contact us for a custom multi-site quote.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept bank transfers and major credit cards. For larger communities, we can arrange custom billing terms.

Security & Compliance

Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). We comply with the Jamaica Data Protection Act and implement industry-standard security practices. See our Security page for full details.
Does FiWi help with compliance under the Registration (Shared Community) Act?
Yes. The Registration (Shared Community) Act 2026 requires gated subdivisions and shared communities to maintain proper financial records, levy maintenance contributions, and enforce by-laws. FiWi Community provides automated invoicing, delinquency tracking, financial reporting, and document management to help your community corporation meet these requirements.
How does FiWi compare to PropMan?
Unlike generic property management platforms, FiWi Community is purpose-built for Jamaican and Caribbean gated communities and strata corporations. We offer QR visitor management, automated compliance tracking, a resident mobile app, and maintenance fee recovery tools — all designed for how communities in our region actually operate. See our full comparison page for details.
