REQZI: Reinventing Residential Property Management | The Founders Behind the Platform

from Discovering Africa Thru' Technology · host Raziah Mwawanga

What happens when residential buildings stop running on disconnected tools and start operating as one connected system?In this episode, we speak with Abdulmalik Abdullahi Shinkafi Founder Ceo, AI Intergration Engineer at Cambridge and Musa Christopher, Co-Founder , Ex Amazon Operations Manager about the platform they are building to transform residential property management in the UK. Reqzi is a UK building operations platform that replaces spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, paper logs, emails, and other disconnected tools with one real-time system connecting directors, front desk teams, and residents. Through three integrated portals an Admin Dashboard, a Front Desk Portal, and a Resident App Reqzi brings every aspect of building operations into one flow.In our conversation Abdulmalik and Musa discuss the problem they set out to solve, why most managed residential buildings still operate on fragmented systems, and how Reqzi is creating a more connected, transparent, and efficient experience for everyone involved.We also explore some remarkable milestones behind the platform:• Zero external funding and zero paid marketing, yet more than 40 companies are already in the pipeline.• The entire platform was built in-house by a single technical CEO.• Reqzi Go, their solution for landlords, HMO owners, and letting agents, was created after customers requested it before it was even on the roadmap.Built by two Nigerian-born founders, Reqzi is proving that innovation does not have to be complicated. Sometimes, the biggest transformation comes from connecting people who have always worked in the same building but never on the same system.Connect REQZI (https://www.linkedin.com/company/reqzi)Instagram - reqziofficial (https://www.instagram.com/reqziofficial)YouTube - reqziofficial (https://youtube.com/@reqziofficial?si=DdTzTFsJPpeaA9h4)X - reqziofficial (https://x.com/reqziofficial)TikTok - reqziofficial (https://www.tiktok.com/@reqziofficial?_r=1&_t=ZN-97JiKNBLdx8)Musa - www.linkedin.com/in/musa-christopherMalik - https://www.linkedin.com/in/abdulmalik-abdullahi-shinkafi-5645a21b6
