For your village team
Less chasing. More of the week, visible.
The jobs your office already does — the notices, the sign-up sheets, the newsletter — in one place that residents read.
The pool is closed, Christmas lunch is on. Everyone sees it on their phone, and it goes in the newsletter.
A morning tea, a new walking time. You approve it, then the whole village can see who’s going.
Hosts mark attendance — including for people who will never open an app.
Someone who came to cards for two years, then stopped. Flagged in weeks, seen only by staff.
Assembled from the week. You edit it and send it, without opening Word.
A path light that’s out goes to staff, not a Facebook thread. Mark it fixed and the resident is told.
Write a notice as the office, then see it land on a resident’s phone. No sign-up.
For head office
One community, or forty
Run it across your whole portfolio. Each village stays private. You still get the full picture.
Each community is sealed off from the next. Head office sees across all of them.
Activities run, turn-out, lifts, faults fixed and new residents, for every village.
Give each village team its own logins. Remove someone the day they leave.
Pay by card for each community. 10 or more live: 10% off each one.
Getting residents on
Built for the people who live there
Residents join with a code from the noticeboard. Nobody gets left out because they don’t have a smartphone.
The join code, this week’s activities and a how-to sheet for the noticeboard.
The office keeps a phone list, so notices reach people who never join the app.
One job per screen, large text and big tiles, readable at arm’s length.
An adult child sees only what the resident chooses to share. Never messages.
Pricing
One price for the whole village
By how many homes are in it. Every village gets every feature. Residents never pay.
Yearly: 12 months for the price of 10. Ten or more villages: 10% off each one. Paid by card, cancel any time. Work out your price.

Common questions
Where is our residents’ information kept?
In Australia (Sydney), with our database provider. We don’t sell it or use it for advertising. Each village is sealed off from the next. See our privacy policy.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Month to month, or yearly if you choose. Cancel any time in the app; you won’t be charged again, and the village stays on until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
What if some residents don’t have a smartphone?
The office keeps a phone list, and hosts can mark attendance for anyone. Verandah also works in the browser on a tablet or computer.
Who sets it up?
You can do it yourself in a few minutes. If you’d like a hand, send us a message below and we’ll help.
What happens if the village grows?
If it passes 100 or 250 homes, the price moves to the next band from your next charge. We tell you first. We never switch a village off for growing.
If we leave, what happens to our data?
You get an export of your events, attendance and residents. Then we delete ours within 30 days, except what the law requires.
