feature wrap up rentec direct

You might be familiar with the most recent feature updates for your Rentec Direct software, like the Enhanced Property Inspections with Rentec Direct and zInspector and the New Property Listing Page Redesign for Rentec Direct Clients.

But that’s not all your developers have been up these past few months. In fact, releasing major features is only part of the scope of work for the Rentec Direct Development Team.

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 and more efficient for you.  In house, the team refers to smaller updates as a bug fix, QuickFix, HotFix, or issue report, and large updates as Features or Enhancements. And while we don’t report every fix or update to you, you can be assured that the development team is always hard at work improving the software for you.

But just to satisfy your curiosity, here’s a look at what the Rentec Direct Development Team has been up to during the final quarter of 2018.
