Foreign worker housing management software in Israel (2026 guide)
Kloyz is property-management CRM software for operators who run foreign worker housing portfolios in Israel. It is not a full-service housing outsourcer (HUMI, BHome) and not a payroll/visa HR suite (WaveSmartFlow, Rotem).
Foreign worker housing in Israel is not standard residential leasing. Operators such as DHM Group, full-service providers like HUMI (WL / WLiving), and networks like BHome run hundreds of units with constant turnover, shared occupancy, and tight compliance expectations.
This guide is for teams that operate the housing portfolio — manpower companies, dedicated housing managers, agencies — and need property management software, not only payroll or visa tooling.
Why spreadsheets fail at scale
Once you pass a few dozen apartments:
- Multiple occupants per unit — beds/rooms with individual move-in/out dates
- Weekly churn — history must stay; new occupants must be attached in minutes
- High maintenance volume — without tickets, everything lives in WhatsApp groups
- Deposits & inventories — disputes explode without timestamped evidence
- Short leases + alerts — overlapping renewals and end dates
- Multilingual ops — Hebrew for staff; English/Russian/other for workers
Without a system you lose true occupancy, deposit proof, and vendor follow-up.
Three market models (do not mix them up)
1. Full-service housing operators (e.g. HUMI WL, BHome)
They run housing for employers: sourcing, furnishing, occupancy, maintenance, sometimes 24/7 hotlines and worker apps. Choose this if you want to outsource housing entirely.
This is an operator, not a SaaS you buy for your own ops team. If you are the operator (e.g. DHM-scale portfolios), you need software.
2. Workforce / HR platforms (e.g. WaveSmartFlow, Rotem)
Strong on visas, attendance, payroll, authority reports. Housing is often a module (bed assignment, housing cost).
Pick them when pain is HR + employer compliance. For landlord leases, multi-tenant CRM, deposit workflows and agency-grade tickets, housing modules are often too thin.
3. Property management CRM (Kloyz)
Built around assets, leases, occupants, collections, maintenance, documents. Best when daily work is running the apartment fleet: occupancy, move-in/out, vendors, receipts, reporting.
Kloyz is used in this scenario — see foreign worker housing.

Buyer checklist (0–2 points each)
- Live occupancy (beds / rooms / free units)
- Multiple tenants on one apartment
- Documented move-in / move-out
- Ticket workflows with photos and statuses
- Renewal and lease-end alerts
- Hebrew + English UI (ideally FR / RU)
- Owner / management reports without a parallel spreadsheet
- Transparent SaaS pricing, optional setup
≤ 8 → fragile spreadsheet ops. ≥ 12 → a CRM like Kloyz covers core housing ops.
How Kloyz fits
Kloyz is not a housing outsourcer and not a visa/payroll system. It is the operating system for the portfolio:
- multiple tenants per unit with separate histories
- frequent renewals without retyping
- timestamped inventories and documents
- maintenance tickets through to invoice
- WhatsApp assistant (Hebrew, French, English, Russian)
- from ₪199/month up to 15 apartments, then volume tiers

FAQ
Should I replace HUMI with software?
Only if you want to run housing yourself. Full-service operators and SaaS solve different problems.
Are WaveSmartFlow / Rotem enough for apartments?
Often for HR/payroll. For landlord contracts, deposits, multi-occupant CRM and agency tickets, add (or use) a property CRM.
Can Kloyz attach several occupants to one unit?
Yes — each with their own dates and history. Details: foreign-worker-housing.
How fast is onboarding?
Excel import + setup: typically weeks, not an ERP-year.
