Here at Rentec Direct, your team works hard to make your job as a landlord or manager even easier. As you enter into the hustle and bustle of the holidays and have tax season around the corner, remember we are here to support you and ensure that your software makes even the daunting tasks a little easier. Improvements are being tested and implemented every day to ensure that your software is constantly adding value and efficiency to your daily management needs.
In the past, we announced that your Rentec Direct Development Team is taking on an exciting new project to make your software better than ever. Your team is on track to attend to all the vital work that comes with a comprehensive software redesign! As the development team transitions its priorities to working on the redesign, you may notice a slight decrease in the number of features or enhancements going live. Do not worry; this is simply to ensure that your team has more time to devote to this value-packed redesign you will see in the near future. We truly are excited to share this with you once it’s live.
With that said, October still saw the deployment of a number of helpful fixes and minor enhancements that ensure smooth sailing for your day-to-day tasks within 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. Since your time is valuable, we don’t always report every tiny fix or update to you, but we want you to rest assured that the development team is always hard at work improving the software for your needs.
Here’s a look at what the Development Team has been working on for the month of October 2020.

This large-scale project will make the software more responsive, leading to the development of a property management software mobile app. At the start of this year, we hosted a webinar featuring Founder and President Nathan Miller, where he speaks about the benefits of a new redesign and goes into more detail about what you can expect. Get excited because your development team is working hard, and this update is just around the corner!
