What resident Directory Management does
Resident Directory Management is one of the modules societies ask for most. In short, it maintains an up-to-date, searchable directory of every owner and tenant in the society — removing a task that used to depend on a register, a phone call, or someone remembering.
Key benefits
- Office finds any resident's details in seconds.
- Kept current as residents move in or out.
- Access controlled to protect resident privacy.
- Useful base data for billing and notices.
How it works
1
Turn it on
The admin enables resident Directory Management for your society from the Secure Nest dashboard — no separate installation needed.
2
Set your rules
Configure it to match how your society actually works: who can approve, what gets logged, and who's notified.
3
It runs itself
From here, resident Directory Management works in the background — residents, guards, and the committee all see the same up-to-date record.
Why societies choose this
Societies that switch to resident Directory Management usually do it after one too many disputes or missed handoffs around this exact task. Once it's digital, the same information is visible to residents, guards, and the committee at the same time — which is usually what actually resolves the friction.
Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. Resident Directory Management runs on the Secure Nest app and dashboard, and where hardware is involved (like cameras or access devices), it's designed to work alongside common existing setups rather than requiring a full replacement.
Yes — it's built for residents and staff who may not be comfortable with complex apps. Most residents are up and running within their first use, and guards typically need only a short walkthrough.
Yes. Records created through this module are stored securely and access is limited by role, so residents, guards, and committee members only see what's relevant to them.
