The verdict in three sentences
A custom property developer platform in Dakar costs 12,000,000 to 22,000,000 FCFA (around 18,300 to 33,500 EUR) in 2026 to manage programmes, units, reservations and instalment plans. Built-in Wave and Orange Money payment transforms instalment collection: no more endless phone chasing. The result: cash flow visible in real time and a buyer portal that reassures and retains.
The budget module by module
Each block follows the developer cycle: from programme to unit, from reservation to instalment payment, through to handover.
| Module | Scope | Cost 2026 (FCFA) |
|---|---|---|
| Programme & unit management | Site plan, unit status, pricing | 4,000,000 |
| Reservations & instalments | Contracts, payment plans | 4,000,000 |
| Wave/OM + card payment | Collection, auto receipt, reminders | 3,000,000 |
| Buyer portal | Payment tracking, documents, progress | 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 |
| Rollout & training | Data migration, go-live | included to 3,000,000 |
| Total | Full project | 12,000,000 to 22,000,000 |
Delivery takes between 14 and 20 weeks, with Wave/Orange Money integration tested on real transactions before go-live.
The impact on cash flow and collection
The developer's real challenge is on-time instalment collection. Here is the quantified effect of custom on a typical programme.
| Metric | Before (Excel/cash) | After (Wave/OM built in) |
|---|---|---|
| Average collection delay | 22 days | 6 days |
| Late-payment rate | 28 % | 12 % |
| Tracking time / week | 15 h | 4 h |
| Receipts issued manually | 100 % | 0 % (auto) |
| Cash-flow visibility | Monthly | Real time |
On a 40-unit programme at 25,000,000 FCFA each, cutting lateness from 28 % to 12 % accelerates collection by tens of millions of FCFA across the sales cycle.
Mini case study
Mr Sow, head of a development company in Dakar marketing 3 programmes, tracked 90 instalment plans on Excel with cash collection. He invests 17,000,000 FCFA in custom software with Wave and Orange Money. The late-payment rate drops from 28 % to 12 % and tracking time from 15 h to 4 h/week. On a 1 billion FCFA programme revenue, faster cash flow and fewer arrears repay the tool within the first programme.
