Client: CapNest · Industry: PropTech — Real Estate FinTech · Country: Saudi Arabia
Overview
CapNest is a pioneering Saudi PropTech platform on a mission aligned with Vision 2030: to make premium real estate investment accessible to everyone through fractional, tokenized ownership. As a Zoho Premium Partner, Wanas Apps architected and built the enterprise backbone that powers it — a fully integrated Zoho One ecosystem engineered for strict Saudi regulatory compliance and seamless, 100% digital investor onboarding.
The Challenge
Real estate has always been slow, paperwork-heavy, and deeply illiquid — locking everyday investors out behind enormous capital barriers. CapNest set out to dismantle those barriers, but doing so in the Saudi market demanded something far more sophisticated than a standard CRM rollout:
- Absolute regulatory compliance with the Real Estate General Authority (REGA), and alignment with the national Real Estate Registry (RER) tokenization framework.
- Instant, fully digital onboarding — KYC and AML screening built directly on Saudi national identity rails (Nafath, Yaqeen).
- Institutional-grade money handling — secure fiat payments and tier-1 bank reconciliation.
- Trustless ownership and income — immutable proof of ownership and precise, pro-rata rental-yield distributions to large pools of fractional investors.
This is the kind of complex, compliance-critical, multi-system build that most platforms simply can't assemble — and exactly where deep Zoho engineering makes the difference.
The Solution: An Enterprise Platform on Zoho One
Wanas Apps designed CapNest's operations as a unified Zoho One ecosystem, localized for the Saudi market (SAR, Arabic), with Zoho CRM as the single source of truth for the entire investor lifecycle.
- Zoho CRM — the investor engine. From first touch to fully-onboarded shareholder: lead capture, automated KYC via Nafath/Yaqeen, deal blueprints, a real-time command center, and orchestration of tokenization and payment events — powered by custom Deluge automation.
- Zoho Books — compliant finance, automated. A purpose-built chart of accounts and money-flow model handle investment receipts, bank reconciliation, and automated rental-yield distributions — so income reaches every fractional owner accurately and on time.
- Zoho Recruit — scaling the team. Pre-listing hiring workflows and candidate lifecycle management, ready for CapNest's growth.
- Zoho Catalyst — the integration fabric. Serverless functions connect the Zoho core to CapNest's specialized fintech ecosystem.
Built for Saudi Arabia, integrated end-to-end
The platform connects natively to the services a compliant Saudi fintech depends on:
- Nafath & Yaqeen — instant national digital identity and KYC.
- HyperPay — PCI-DSS-compliant payment processing.
- Arab Bank VIBANs — tier-1 banking for secure fund collection and reconciliation.
- DigiShares — enterprise tokenization for immutable, fractional proof of ownership.
- REGA / RER — alignment with the national real-estate regulatory and registry framework.
The Results
With Wanas Apps' implementation, CapNest gained an operational platform that turns a deeply manual industry into a five-minute, mobile-first experience:
- Frictionless digital onboarding — investors verify and invest in minutes via Nafath, not days of paperwork.
- Compliance by design — REGA-aligned processes and RER-ready tokenization baked into the workflow, not bolted on afterward.
- Automated, trustless income — pro-rata rental distributions calculated and paid out automatically.
- Architecture that scales — operations, accounting, and investor relations all run on one unified Zoho ecosystem, ready to grow with the platform.
CapNest's competitive edge is its regulatory-and-technology moat — and that moat runs on infrastructure Wanas Apps engineered.
