Web Based Property Management Software

Web-Based Property Management Software is software that is used over the Internet to manage rental properties. London Computer Systems was the first company to offer a true Internet based program with Rent Manager Online. By using third party software, we were able to offer Rent Manager to our customers over the web in real time. The result was a system that united remote locations with the main office and provided access to the company's rental information at anytime from anywhere.

What is the difference between Rent Manager Online and the stand alone version of Rent Manager?

Rent Manager Online is the same exact program that gets shipped to customers that purchase the stand alone version. It is a full 32-bit Windows based application. The difference is how the program is accessed and where it is stored. With Rent Manager Online, the program is stored on our servers in our state-of-the-art data center where we perform hourly backups, replicate the data in real time, and apply all upgrades as they are released.

What does this mean for you? It means that you can connect all of your remote locations to the same database in real time. Using built in controls, you can limit the remote site's access to other properties, while allowing the main office to instantly access company wide data.

It also means that companies no longer have to worry about their managers doing daily backups, maintaining the same versions, no more annual fees, issues related to turn over, data loss, and faxing reports or batching data back and forth.

Additional Benefits to using Rent Manager Online

As a Rent Manager Online user, you can also take advantage of special web based modules not available to stand alone users such as the Resident Web Access, Service Manager Web Access, and Mobile Admin

Is it safe to access our financial information from the web?

There are generally only a few ways a hacker can gain access to your information. They can attempt to hijack your data while in transit over the Internet, they can attempt to break into the servers remotely, or they can attempt to gain access right from the servers directly. London Computer Systems has realized this threat and met it head on.

Our Rent Manager Online servers are located in a bomb-proof data center with 24 hour onsite security. The facility is monitored 24 hours a day and access is only allowed with keycard access. The facility also has redundant Internet backbones and diesel generator backups to ensure that access is always available. The servers themselves are protected by strict firewall rules and are monitored constantly to maintain their integrity.

The technology used to operate Rent Manager Online also makes it impossible to hijack your data in transit. Why? Because there is no actual data being transmitted over the Internet. When using Rent Manager Online, the program and data never leave the server, increasing the speed of the overall application.

Try to imagine stretching the cable from your monitor to our servers in downtown Cincinnati. That is essentially how the online system works. Once connected to the servers, your computer becomes a dumb terminal and you work directly from the server as if it were right there in your office.

Why should I use the online version?

Rent Manager Online offers several advantages over using a stand alone version. First, lower upfront costs. You pay a small monthly fee to use the program. Secondly, there are less computer worries. It doesn't matter how fast your computer is. When using Rent Manager Online you always move at the speed of the server. Therefore if your computer crashes, you can replace it with a refurbished computer and be working again in minutes. Also, Rent Manager Online provides the end-user with complete real-time access from anywhere at anytime through the Internet.

With the online system, you also receive advanced technical support and training. With your permission, we can see your screen at the same time you see it. This means that we can move the mouse and press keystrokes right on your computer and walk you through training and technical support. Our technical support will never have to walk you through support over the phone again. We have found that support call time is reduced by as much as 75% with Rent Manager Online.
