FiWi Community vs PropMan
Two Jamaican platforms, different strengths
Both FiWi Community and PropMan serve Jamaican gated communities and strata corporations — and both offer solid core features like QR visitor management, financial tracking, and mobile apps. The difference is in the details: FiWi links your gate directly to your ledger with automatic delinquency enforcement, includes purpose-built compliance tools for the Registration (Shared Community) Act, and integrates natively with QuickBooks for real-time accounting sync.
