A unit is not simply for sale or sold. Over its life it passes through a sequence of states, and at any moment someone — a salesperson, a CRM manager, a director — needs to know exactly which state it is in. Tracking unit status clearly is what keeps everyone working from the same picture instead of guessing.
The lifecycle of a unit
Most projects track a unit through states like these:
- Available — open for sale, quotable to any buyer.
- Held — temporarily reserved while a buyer decides, with an expiry.
- Booked — confirmed and committed, with a buyer and payment plan attached.
- Registered — the sale formalised and documented.
- Cancelled or released — returned to available, back in the pool.
The exact labels vary, but the principle is the same: every unit has one clear status at all times, and that status is visible to everyone who needs it.
Why a status board beats a spreadsheet
Seen on a live board — tower by tower, floor by floor — status becomes instantly legible. Management can see the whole project's state at a glance: how much is sold, how much is held, what is still open. Sales can see what they can promise. A spreadsheet can hold the same data, but it cannot keep it current for everyone at once, and it cannot show the whole project as a living picture.
Keeping status honest
A status board is only as good as its discipline. Holds must expire so units do not sit falsely reserved. Cancellations must return units to available immediately. Confirmed bookings must lock. When the software enforces these transitions, the board stays trustworthy without anyone policing it.
How KendraOne helps
KendraOne Live Inventory shows every unit's status on one live board — available, held, booked, registered — across towers and projects, updating in real time. Holds expire, cancellations release, and bookings lock automatically, so the picture is always honest. See your project on it.
