Why ERPs Fall Short on Apartment Customization
Homebuyer Experience Gap
Traditional ERPs are built for procurement clerks and accountants, presenting ugly spreadsheets and intimidating codes. Mellite provides an Apple-grade visual finish portal where buyers select marble, tiles, and fittings effortlessly.
Difference Billing Automation
Generic tools force site teams to manually calculate base builder credits against luxury upgrade deltas in Excel, leading to billing disputes. Mellite calculates exact net difference billing in real-time with zero human error.
CashLink™ Trade Monetization
ERPs simply log vendor purchase orders. Mellite actively captures and settles 8–15% manufacturer trade rebates directly for architects and developers through verified digital CashLinks.
