Why residential communities choose Teras
Not just another community app — Teras is the Community OS built around the platforms your residents already trust and love.
WhatsApp-first residents
Visitor passes, announcements and fee reminders arrive on WhatsApp — nothing for residents to install, no push notifications to hope for.
Guards run in the browser
A dedicated guard app scans and verifies passes on any phone's browser. No app store, no updates to chase, no minimum hardware.
Works with the gate you own
Teras plugs into the ANPR and barrier hardware your community already runs — the brains at your gate, not a reason to replace it.
Collection built in
Invoicing, smart payment reminders and pay-to-pass gate control ship in the core product — fee collection becomes access control.
PDPA by design
IC scans extract, validate and discard. Visitor images are never stored, so your committee's data liability stays small.
One price per community
Pricing that doesn't multiply with gates, control points or unit counts. One written number for your whole neighbourhood.
