March 2020 Product Update

During this unprecedented time, Rentec Direct knows that property managers and landlords face unique challenges and unexpected obstacles. That is just one reason we want to remind you that your Rentec Direct team is here and available to offer uninterrupted support.

Rest easy that your software and support needs will be met, and that your Rentec Direct team has made it a priority to operate safely from home while continuing to provide the highest-rated customer support that you are used to receiving.

Furthermore, your development team is working as hard as ever on big feature updates and small software updates and issue fixes that are essential to a great experience with the software. The developers work closely with the Client Success Team and our clients to find out what fixes and enhancements need to be done in order to make the software better for your daily needs.

In-house, the team refers to smaller updates as a bug fix, QuickFix, HotFix, or issue report, and large updates as Features or Enhancements. We likely won’t report every tiny fix or update to you; you can nonetheless rest assured that the development team is always hard at work improving the software for your needs–even in the midst of these challenging times.

Here’s a look at what the Development Team has been working on for the month of March 2020.
