Days of arrears nobody charges
The late fee exists in the lease and is almost never applied, because working it out by hand is awkward. The system calculates it and puts it on the receipt.

Every unit, every rent and every pending peso on one screen.
A system to run your shopping center: leases with expiry dates, rent that gets collected by itself, maintenance per unit and live occupancy. The manager stops chasing payments over WhatsApp and the owner sees the month's collections without asking for them.

- Center map with live occupancy: what's leased, what expires this quarter and what's vacant.
Where the money goes today
Three leaks a spreadsheet-run center has every month
Worked example: a 40-unit center with an average rent of $18,000 pesos bills $720,000 a month. With 12% of collections running 20 days late on average, $86,400 arrives late every month and a late fee that almost never gets charged.
Annual increases that get forgotten
A lease with a 5% increase applied four months late gives away four months of difference. The system applies the increase on the day it's due.
Units vacant longer than necessary
When the expiry is discovered the month it expires, the unit sits empty while a tenant is found. The system warns ninety days ahead.

How it's done today, and how it ends up
Three moments in an ordinary center.
Today
The manager checks the bank statement, cross-references the spreadsheet and messages each tenant who's missing, one by one.
With the system
The system reads the deposits, reconciles them against each lease and sends the reminder only to whoever is missing. On the 6th it applies the late fee and puts it on the receipt.
What you get
The manager's morning on the 5th, and the late fee the lease already states.
Operation example
A 40-unit center, one manager, an owner who lives in another city
This is how the system looks in a center this size: the manager works from a tablet, the owner checks from the phone, and the accountant receives the invoices and the statement without asking.

Questions worth answering before automating
Scope, return, data, integrations and infrastructure, with concrete answers and visible boundaries.
Q/01What should shopping center management software include?
Leases per unit with expiries and increases, rent collection with receipts and late fees, prorated maintenance charges, maintenance tickets, live occupancy and a monthly report for the owner. That's the base scope of Aikanta's system; CFDI invoicing and a tenant portal are added when the center needs them.
Q/02How much does a shopping center management system cost?
For a center with 20 to 80 units, the leases and collections module comes in at tens of thousands of pesos and ships in six to eight weeks. The quote is fixed and in writing, next to the calculation of what the center stops losing in arrears and forgotten increases.
Q/03Does the system collect rent by itself?
The system reconciles bank deposits against each lease, sends reminders, applies late fees and issues receipts. The tenant pays by transfer or, if you enable it, by card from their portal. A person decides the exceptions; the system does the rest.
Q/04Does it work for several centers at once?
Yes. Each center has its own map, leases and manager, and the owner sees them all on one screen with the same indicators. Permissions are granted per center.
Q/05Does it connect to my accounting?
Yes. It exports entries and invoices to CONTPAQi, Aspel or SAP, or delivers the file your accountant already uses. Each rent is invoiced once and stays linked to its deposit.
