The PROMAS Landlord Software Center — PROMAS Landmaster

To set up property, manager, unit and tenant information, users will need
to access the Profiles module. Adding and editing data is easy, with tabs available
at the bottom of each screen. PROMAS Landmaster does not contain an applicant
module, so new tenants are entered directly into the tenant file. All data-entry
screens contain tabs at the bottom that allow additional information to be entered.
Pop-up speed bars are available in all data-entry screens and provide quick
access to system functions and allow the viewing of system data visually.

PROMAS Landmaster can handle an unlimited number of owners, properties, units
and tenants. And because the program is licensed by number of units, users will
receive the same system functionality whether they license 100 units or 1,000
units. The PROMAS Landmaster Maintenance module allows for the tracking of any
work order requests, with areas to approve work, start date, and when the work
has been completed. Users can also track the repair history of the appliance
or the unit that has requested work. Users can also keep track of any existing
warranties on appliances, including product serial numbers. The Mailings module
allows users to quickly produce various statement formats, late notices, and
customized owner and tenant letters.

reporting. Reports can be exported to a variety of formats, including *.PDF,
Excel and Word.

but who still desire a comprehensive product that includes a complete accounting
solution. Prices depend on number of units managed and range from $395 for 50
units to $1,995 for unlimited units.
