Web Hosting & Design Integrates Fully With Rental Operations

CINCINNATI, OH – London Computer Systems Inc. (LCS), developer of Rent Manager property management software, announces their success in fully integrating their Web hosting and design services with Rent Manager for client Birch Management Inc.  This combination of services allows property management companies to have a complete portal for their rental business operations fully integrated with their Rent Manager software without the need to seek out separate web hosting and design marketing services.

The opportunity came when long-time client, Birch Management, based in Greensboro, NC, approached Rent Manager in the Fall of 2008 to help them streamline their business operations fully on the internet.  

“We had a lot of Web site problems and needed to make a change,” explains Lee Porter, principal of Birch Management Inc.  “After initially speaking with several web design/hosting companies and not finding the right fit, we talked again with Rent Manager to do it for us.  Their team of web and IT experts collaborated to deliver a great solution for us and we’re thrilled with the results.”

LCS was well-equipped for this challenge because of their on-site IT, design and software programming departments and sister tech company, SuperNet of Ohio (http://www.snohio.net/).  SuperNet was established in 1999 by LCS owner, Dave Hegemann, to originally provide a vehicle for Rent Manager Online, which this year celebrates its 10th anniversary and serves over 7,000 users. 

“Since we already manage these types of services for other clients, we were ready to take on Birch’s request,” states Dave Hegemann, president and founder of LCS.  “It’s been such a success, we have other companies on board to initiate a similar project.”

The Birch Management site now has a complete new design and pulls information from Rent Manager to organize all aspects of their business with an emphasis on:  Property Management, Property Listings and Prospective and Current Residents.  This saves time for their office staff by efficiently processing maintenance requests, rent payments, owner reports and rental applications.  Rent Manager’s NEW Owner Web Access Portal was also utilized and fully integrated so property owners can directly log in to their Birch account for complete control and review of their business operations.  Residents also have the option to log in to make payments or tenant requests for maintenance.
