The verdict in three sentences
A developer site-tracking system costs 8,000,000 to 20,000,000 FCFA (about 12,200 to 30,500 EUR) and ships in 5 to 8 months, with progress tracking, buyer schedules and consolidated reporting. Monthly maintenance of 200,000 to 450,000 FCFA covers hosting, upgrades and support. On a multi-billion-FCFA programme, financial steering secures cash flow and repays the tool on the first programme.
Key modules for a developer in 2026
A developer steers two flows: physical works progress and financial sales progress. The software must link the two to anticipate cash-flow tension, with an offline mode useful on peripheral, poorly covered sites.
| Module | Function | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Progress tracking | Stages, milestones, photos | Critical |
| Buyer schedules | Drawdowns, collections | Critical |
| Financial steering | Programme budget, cash flow | Critical |
| Site reporting | Consolidated dashboards | High |
| Offline mode | Field entry, sync | High |
| Unit management | Sold, reserved, available | High |
| Buyer reminders | Instalment reminders | Medium |
A missed drawdown or a delayed collection shifts programme cash flow: on a 2,000,000,000 FCFA programme, a 5 % collection shift is 100,000,000 FCFA of strained cash.
Scope and budget: the 2026 figures
| Scope | Modules included | Budget FCFA | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Progress + schedules | 8,000,000 to 11,000,000 | 5 months |
| Standard | + financial steering + reporting | 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 | 6-7 months |
| Complete | + offline + reminders + units | 16,000,000 to 20,000,000 | 7-8 months |
| Recurring item | Monthly cost FCFA | Note | |
| Hosting + maintenance | 200,000 to 450,000 | By volume | |
| Support and upgrades | Included | Flat fee | |
| Buyer reminder SMS | 25 to 40 FCFA/SMS | Usage-based |
Budget should be read against programme revenue: a 15,000,000 FCFA tool is under 1 % of a 2,000,000,000 FCFA programme, for a major reliability gain on cash flow.

Mr O'Brien, director of a property development company in Dublin (60-unit programme, 1,800,000,000 FCFA equivalent). Before the tool, tracking drawdowns on a spreadsheet drove a 15 % late-instalment rate, about 270,000,000 FCFA of shifted collections over the year, with an estimated carrying cost of 13,500,000 FCFA.
A dedicated system at 15,000,000 FCFA, with automated schedules and SMS reminders, cuts lateness to 6 %. Shifted collections fall to 108,000,000 FCFA, reducing carrying cost to 5,400,000 FCFA. The carrying saving reaches 8,100,000 FCFA in the first year, before admin time saved. The tool is amortised on the first programme.
FAQ
What does developer site-tracking software cost in 2026? Between 8,000,000 and 20,000,000 FCFA by scope, with 200,000 to 450,000 FCFA/month maintenance covering hosting, support and upgrades.
Why offline mode? Peripheral sites are often poorly covered. Offline mode lets teams enter progress and photos on site, then sync automatically once connection returns.
How does it secure cash flow? By linking buyer schedules to works progress, it anticipates tension. On a 2,000,000,000 FCFA programme, cutting collection lateness by 9 points saves millions of FCFA in carrying cost.
How long to deploy? Between 5 and 8 months by scope. An essential base (progress + schedules) ships in 5 months, a complete tool with financial steering in 7 to 8 months.
Can it manage several programmes? Yes. A consolidated dashboard aggregates multiple programmes, with global financial steering and tracking of sold, reserved and available units.
