Arcori PM Affordable Housing vs HDS NextGen

Arcori PM for Affordable Housing is a web-based property management solution for affordable housing organizations. It brings together tenant and property records, accounting, maintenance, document management and workflows for specialized government programs. Its listed housing functions include waitlists, eligibility workflows, rent calculations, RGI and market rents, forms and year-end reporting. Tenant records can cover the path from applicant to former tenant, with leases, financial and payment history, notes, reminders and attachments. Rent collection options include ACH/EFT, check scanning, pre-authorized payments and batch payments. The accounting module updates the general ledger as other modules process transactions and provides drill-down financial information. Reports support cash-basis and accrual accounting and can be exported to PDF, Excel or Word. Maintenance tools cover work orders, preventative maintenance, inspections, capital planning, and labor and material cost tracking. Arcori says it can customize the software and develop an implementation plan around an organization’s needs. Pricing is available on request. The standalone mobile work order app is currently in development.
