Over 60 Developers Join REI and AutoKon to Advance Digital Project Monitoring at Graha REI Jawa Timur

Graha REI Jawa Timur as a Digital Learning Hub for Housing Developers

In a packed room at Graha REI Jawa Timur, the AutoKon team demonstrated how developers can track construction progress, capture quality on-site, and prepare formal handovers from contractors to developers through a system that fits naturally into their daily habits: WhatsApp.

REI East Java’s leadership stressed that digital transformation is no longer optional; it is essential for developers to remain competitive and trusted by the market. Digital project monitoring was highlighted as a concrete way to:

• reduce miscommunication and ambiguity,

• clarify responsibilities on-site, and

• ensure that project progress data is stored neatly and always ready for review.

The key message throughout the session was ease of use. AutoKon is designed so that developers, particularly small and mid-sized players working on MBR and commercial housing can begin digital project monitoring without having to overhaul how their teams already work.

AutoKon: A Simple Digital Tool for MBR and Commercial Housing Projects

AutoKon is built on a simple principle: make developers’ lives easier, not harder. By integrating with WhatsApp, AutoKon helps teams:

• capture field documentation (photos, notes, work status) in a structured way,

• organise progress by unit and by work stage, and

• prepare tidy, trackable handover flows from contractors to developers.

This approach makes AutoKon especially relevant for:

• small and mid-sized housing developers in growth mode, and

• developers focusing on MBR and commercial housing projects.

For use cases beyond MBR and commercial housing, AutoKon can be applied on a case-by-case, customised basis depending on developer needs.Three Pillars: Paper-Less, Real-Time, and Hassle-Free

Paper-Less
Records that were previously scattered across paper files, separate folders, and hard-to-find chat history can now be consolidated in a single system. Developers gain an accessible history of project progress and documentation.

Real-Time
Field teams can update progress regularly over WhatsApp, giving office-based management a faster, more accurate view of project status whether the project is in Surabaya or other cities across East Java.

Hassle-Free
No new app installation is required. Site supervisors, project admins, and management teams can adapt quickly, which is crucial in teams with varying levels of digital literacy from smaller local and regional developers to those just starting their digital journey.

60+ Developers: A Strong Signal from Greater Surabaya

The high turnout at Graha REI Jawa Timur shows that developers in the Gerbangkertosusila area and surrounding regions are ready to embrace more modern and accountable project monitoring practices.

With AutoKon as a technology partner, developers gain a way to manage housing projects that is:

• more organised in terms of documentation,

• more secure and reviewable in terms of data, and

• more effective for MBR and commercial housing projects.

Through socialisation events like this one in Surabaya, the REI and AutoKon partnership is bringing Indonesia’s housing industry closer to measurable, standardised project oversight with a particular focus on small and mid-sized local and regional developers.
