Product Update May 2020

Here at Rentec Direct, your team works hard to make your job as a landlord or manager even easier.

Rest easy that while your Rentec Direct team operates safely from home for as long as officials deem necessary, will continue to provide the highest-rated customer support that you are used to receiving. Every day in your software, new changes are being tested and implemented to ensure that your software is perpetually adding value by creating more efficient ways to manage your daily tasks.

With that priority in mind, you should know that your Rentec Direct Development Team not only truly works hard on big feature updates and major enhancements but also on all the small-but-important behind-the-scenes work. These smaller software updates and issue fixes are essential to creating an efficient and pleasant 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. While we likely won’t report every tiny fix or update to you; we value your time, after all. 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 May 2020.
