Why we built this

The frustration was real.

K

Kevin

Founder, TrailBill

I walked into my estate agent's office one day and watched a woman at the counter trying to sort out her proof of payment. She had sent it — she knew she had. But the agent couldn't find it.

Why? Because everything was dumped into a WhatsApp group. Hundreds of messages. Photos mixed with voice notes, random texts, tenant questions — and somewhere buried in all of it, her proof of payment.

“It's in the group, I sent it last week.” “We can't find it, can you send again?”

I then noticed they were printing outstanding balance notices — on paper, stuffed into envelopes, delivered to each unit. Physical paper. That costs money, takes time, and half the tenants don't even open them.

The ones who did get emails? Nobody checks email anymore. Everyone is on WhatsApp — but a WhatsApp group with 30 tenants is pure chaos. Nothing is traceable. Nothing is organised. Nothing is confirmed.

I left that office and started building TrailBill that same week. Tenants get their request on WhatsApp — clean, personal, one message. They upload their proof on a link. You see it instantly, approve it, done. No group. No envelopes. No guessing.

Pricing

Priced by relationships, not messages

You're not buying reminders. You're managing monitored payment relationships. Pricing reflects that.

WhatsApp & email sending is included for operational use. Fair usage applies — TrailBill is not a bulk marketing tool.
