Welcome to the Vivin Platform, an all-in-one, AI-driven software platform purpose-built for managing coliving and flex living properties. It replaces spreadsheets and fragmented tools with a fully integrated system that centralises operations, finance, distribution, communication, and administrative tasks — giving property managers complete control and real-time visibility over their business.

Powered by artificial intelligence at its core, Vivin automates repetitive work, surfaces actionable insights, and enables property managers to scale their portfolios without scaling their teams.

After you sign in, the Dashboard is the default landing view. The same management shell — left navigation, workspace, and account controls — stays consistent as you move between modules:

Dashboard — management shell after sign-in, with KPI cards, forecasts, and the Portfolio / Business / Tools groups

Who This Guide Is For

This guide is organized into these sections:

  • Getting Started — Interface layout, core terminology, and the Recommended Setup Sequence (steps 1–12 Account Settings tab map: Recommended setup order; steps 13–15 Listings, Bookings, Tenants; go-live: Onboarding a New Property — Step 7)
  • Management Frontend Deep Links — Bookmarkable platform.vivin.app routes for modules, tabs, settings, and entity sidebars (pair URLs with screenshots on that page)
  • Modules — Detailed documentation for each core feature of the platform
  • Concepts — In-depth explanations of how key systems work (booking lifecycle, payment allocation, integrations, in-product AI, and Landlord / Tenant MCP for external AI clients)
  • Common Workflows — Step-by-step guides for frequently performed tasks
  • Account Settings — Configuration reference for your entire workspace
  • API Reference — HTTP authentication, listings, bookings, webhooks, and error handling for integrations
  • Get Help & Support — Escalation paths: email, status page, and in-app Vivin tickets when your role has Support access (includes product screenshots of the help entry points)
  • Using in-app support — Vivin support tickets inside the management app when your role has the Support permission (separate from Operations tickets you raise for your own properties)
  • Glossary & FAQ — Key terms and answers to common questions (including invoiced floor (rent) and credit note follow-up when Finance already exported charges)

If you are setting up Vivin for the first time, start with the Getting Started guide.

Platform differentiators here pair with Key Platform Capabilities (module and integration map) and Platform-Wide Capabilities (tenant portal, automation, distribution). First-time configuration: Getting Started — Recommended Setup Sequence and Optional setup deep dives. Full pairing matrix: Introduction — Section cross-reference.

  • AI-Driven — From smart invoice reading and tenant chatbots to the operator AI Assistant (internal) and portfolio analytics, automation is woven through the platform to reduce manual work and improve decision-making.
  • Flexible — Configurable per property, per unit, and per booking. Adapt contract types, payment rules, fee structures, and channel distribution to match your business model.
  • Automated — End-to-end workflows from booking confirmation to signed contract, from utility bill to tenant charge, from payment reminder to collection — all without manual steps.
  • Scalable — Manage 10 or 1,000 units from the same dashboard. Multi-property, multi-channel, multi-team support built in from day one.
