From the Jan./Mar. 2008 Review of Property Mgmt. Systems

PropertyBoss 2007 is a comprehensive property management software product suitable for residential, multi-family and specialty markets such as military, university and affordable housing, as well as senior living management.

INTERFACE/EASE OF USE -- 5 Stars
PropertyBoss utilizes separate databases for each type of management scenario employed. Users simply choose the database they wish to access when logging onto the system. The program’s main screen is visually pleasing. To the left of the screen, users have access to major system functions such as PropertyBoss Today, Accounting, Managing and Customize. The majority of the screen is used by the PropertyBoss Navigator, which contains links to items such as Print Statements, Move-Ins and Move-Outs scheduled for the week, number of pending work orders, and percentage of delinquencies. A QuickStart option takes users to various implementation and training options designed to get them up and running as quickly as possible.

Data-entry screens are easily navigated, with action buttons at the bottom of every screen. The Units and Lease Navigator provides access to a complete listing of all units. Tabs provide additional options including the ability to edit the unit, create a new unit, create a new lease, view reports, view the unit register, and enter a transaction specific to that unit.

The Prospects Navigator allows for entering new prospects, showing whether an application has been filled out and whether a credit check has been processed. New leases can be created directly from the Prospects Navigator, and Thank You notes can be processed automatically.

PropertyBoss allows users to open multiple windows in the program, and the Open Windows function to the left displays a list of all currently open windows. All screen displays can be exported to Excel, printed or e-mailed as needed. At the top of the screen, the New button allows users to quickly add a new lease, unit, tenant, prospect or vendor.

MODULES/SCALABILITY -- 5 Stars
PropertyBoss can be deployed using a variety of methods, including the traditional desktop, across a network, self-hosted over the web, or web-hosted using the SaaS model. The core PropertyBoss system comes with prospect tracking, applicant screening, lease management, third-party fee management, work order management and an accounting interface to QuickBooks.
