August 14, 2003 - American Computer Software (ACS) has expanded the features of their flagship software solution, MANAGEMENT Plus, to meet the needs of military housing professionals. Recently, several ACS customers have added military housing to the properties under their management. Acting as a consultant and partner for those customers that require a comprehensive and mature property management software solution that can track and record unique military details, ACS has worked side-by-side with customers who are going through the military housing application process.
The special challenges of military government contracts require a thorough understanding of military personnel as a unique marketing target group before completing the RFP. Each branch of the military possesses its own unique protocol, rules, regulations, needs and lifestyles that greatly influence where families can live. For example, rank and years of military service require special documentation and need to be closely monitored. To be successful, an ongoing awareness of each family's special needs is required, especially when a military member is deployed, because the deployed individual expects a consistent level of quality services for his or her family while they are away. Military pay schedules present a unique challenge that is a complete contrast with civilian pay. Contract application procedures vary by military branch, as well.
American Computer Software's experience and knowledge of military housing greatly improved the procedures, implementation and information management requirements for their customers. MANAGEMENT Plus keeps track of all military family members and where they are qualified to live - including all of the pertinent military information crucial to placing military families swiftly and efficiently. MANAGEMENT Plus tracks all of the details indigenous to a military property, including specific rank, ETS, housing priorities based on rank, branch of the military, special housing categories, special status and more. In addition, MANAGEMENT Plus will automatically calculate Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), perform Freeze Zone tracking, and add military ranks to appropriate reports. MANAGEMENT Plus is available with WORK ORDER Plus tracking and is designed to operate either stand-alone or to integrate with popular accounting software.
