Getting Started

Introduction #

AURA is a next-generation Property Management Operating System developed by IBG Technology. It brings together everything you need to manage modern real estate — from IoT sensor monitoring and AI-driven analytics to a resident mobile app, financial dashboards, and blockchain-secured contracts — all in a single unified platform.

Whether you manage residential complexes, commercial offices, or mixed-use developments, AURA provides the tools to streamline operations, reduce costs, and deliver an exceptional experience for both your team and your tenants.

Quick Start #

Get your property management ecosystem up and running in three steps.

Architecture Overview #

AURA is built on a microservices architecture with a clear separation between client applications, the API layer, and data storage. The platform uses an API Gateway (ASP.NET Core) that handles authentication, rate limiting, and request routing to individual services.
