Hutly Platform Description

Specifications

Living Contract

Hutly has revolutionised the existing paper based residential tenancy agreement into a living contract. The Hutly Platform enables all parties to securely manage their contract in the palm of their hand. This includes revising, issuing instructions and accepting changes in real time.

One Touch Execution

Users execute agreements and instructions with the touch of a few buttons on their desktop or mobile device. This eliminates traditional and e-signatures, speeding up the whole process and providing a far more secure digital signature. Our technology verifies the individual at each instruction but also records that event on blockchain, providing permanent proof and absolute transparency with this history visible to all parties, at all times.

Triple Entry Accounting

Hutly records all communication, instructions and decisions on blockchain. In the event a dispute arises their is a single source of truth as to the actions taken by each party, no she said / he said, just an accurate, independent, record of all events. This means, in the unfortunate event a matter results in a dispute, mediation or court, the material required for the matter to be heard can be generated (and if needed, printed) at the press of a button.

Rent Roll Agency

Hutly introduces liquidity to the rent roll market with agencies being able to transact in real time the exchange of properties, and financiers can see real time rent roll values.

Hybrid Payment Rail

Hutly is Australia’s first trust and trustless payment rail for the residential tenancy market. A property manager can make the decision to use their existing trust accounting provider or, at the press of a button, move to trustless accounting. Trial one property or the whole rent roll, which ever suits best.

Availability (Uptime)

Hutly will use best endeavours to ensure that the Platform is available for use by Users 99% of the time.
