A SCOTTISH property software firm has hailed a significant new deal with a major residential buildings manager.
CPL Software, which serves the property factor and block management sectors, has secured a contract with RMG Scotland, part of Residential Management Group Ltd, which is described as one of the biggest residential property managers in the UK with a portfolio of over 110,000 households.
Glasgow-based CPL has negotiated a five-year contract and will design a branded portal and app for RMG Scotland.
The firm will apply its technology to the suite of solutions it is developing for RMG, which works with most of the UK’s national and regional housebuilders and developers.
CPL last year launched an industry first with its Blockworx app that allows property factors and block managers to communicate with contractors, and organise repairs and maintenance .
Crawford Burns, commercial and project manager at CPL, said: “This is a significant contract for CPL Software and the culmination of lengthy negotiations over a two-year period. RMG decided that we were the best for their Scottish operation and understand that technology has an increasingly important role to play in helping property managers work more effectively.”
Justin Herbert, operations director at RMG said “We are extremely pleased to enter into an agreement with CPL. We are confident that CPL will support our service delivery in Scotland and enable us to grow our market share.” CPL’s software technology division manages 360,000 properties.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
