Realbase launches online property management suite for rental agencies

Cost Savings, Security Benefits and Online Access drives Property Managers to adopt PalaceLive.

Auckland – Wednesday 24 June – Realbase today announced the launch of PalaceLive, an online residential property management system for rental agencies. As a leading supplier of property management software, Realbase has upgraded their stand-alone version of Palace to an online hosted version called PalaceLive. This new service allows property managers, many of whom work out of the office and after hours, to use the software from any computer with a broadband connection. It requires minimal resources to manage since it is hosted in a dedicated and secure data centre.

PalaceLive extends the functionality of Palace by allowing a growing number of business needing an online solution to access their data via the internet.

“We already have a number of businesses using PalaceLive in New Zealand and Australia, but are now making it available to the wider market,” said Ron Abbott, CEO of Realbase. “Businesses are beginning to be more aware of the benefits of online software, and we’re delighted to be first to the market with PalaceLive. It means they no longer need to have traditional I.T. expertise available onsite.”

PalaceLive serves a rapidly expanding market. Property management offices are increasingly using online software to power their businesses. Many payroll and accounting packages have already moved online and PalaceLive is the next logical step for many of these businesses.

Ray White Whangamata Deploys PalaceLive For Greater Flexibility Ray White Whangamata was able to provide greater working flexibility for their property managers by migrating to PalaceLive. Steve Morrison, owner of Ray White Whangamata, wanted a solution that would ensure their data was safe and accessible while allowing their property managers to be more efficient.

“We needed a solution that would ensure our critical information was secure and allow us to grow our competitive advantage.” He said. “PalaceLive takes away the complexity of maintaining and administering an onsite dedicated server. Our I.T. infrastructure has been simplified, hardware and software updates are taken care of, and we can focus on serving our clients.”

Growing Agency Moves To PalaceLive And Avoids Ballooning Office Expenses Wellington’s Lambton Property Management have been expanding at a rapid rate and with more property managers joining the business, the company’s director Shayne Thurston, was looking at larger premises. “Since many of our agents are in and out of the office, PalaceLive has meant that I can stay in our current premises as well as keeping our agents connected to the information they need when they need it.” Moving to PalaceLive meant that Shayne did not need to invest in more expensive offices while improving his service to clients. “With many tenants and contractors ringing out of hours it also means our agents can respond quicker to their requests since they’re able to access data online,” he said.

With PalaceLive, Realbase has reinforced its strong position in the market. Launched in New Zealand at the company’s inaugural user conference in Auckland last week, Realbase will be officially releasing it in Australia in August to complement its growing base of loyal customers over there.
