RAM Housing Specialists Software
Affordable Software with Personal Training
Personal, Thorough Training
We provide both on-site and in-house training based on what works best for your organization. During the year we also host several workshops to assist clients with coding, reading financial statements, payroll procedures, accounts receivable reporting and other valuable topics. Sign up to receive notifications of upcoming training workshops. Following any initial training we provide unlimited phone support as part of every software package we offer. We don’t put you on the clock when you call allowing you to ask as many questions as you want at no additional cost. Phone support is available from 8a – 5p CST or other times by appointment.
Seamless Data Transfer
Data integrity is key to a successful HUD software solution. We take care to be sure your information is transferred accurately from your current system – whether it’s other housing authority software, Microsoft Excel, Word or any other system. We’ll work with your team to get you started on the right foot with us.
Safe and Secure
We protect your confidential information so that it can’t get into the wrong hands. Multiple user account levels can be created to limit access for internal personnel and secure measures are in place to keep outsiders out. Information is automatically backed up so you can be confident you won’t lose the information your organization relies on.
Flexible Module Options
Our affordable housing software is made of multiple modules that work together seamlessly. All aspects of your accounting are funneled into a comprehensive General Ledger, with a complete audit trail from the source of input.
