The industry standard
TRAMPS was the first computerised property management system ever developed for UK managing agents. Since then, of course, it’s been refined and redeveloped beyond all recognition - but it’s fair to say that TRAMPS has marked out both the needs and the expectations of the sector ever since.
As an agent’s system, things like funds testing, service charge management and client reporting are baked right into the core – not loosely tacked on to a system designed for other uses.
Throughout its history, TRAMPS has just got better and better. We put a huge amount of investment into it every year, to ensure that it remains pre-eminent in its field.
Reliability
The reputation of TRAMPS is built on its rock-solid reliability, which is why it is now powers almost all the UK’s largest managing agents.
Reliability stems directly from the system's database: a single, modern database that handles both property management and all the financial accounts.
This ensures absolute data integrity at all times, in marked contrast to the multi-ledger architectures that other systems employ.
A single database means that your data is always updated in real time. There’s no posting between ledgers and no possibility of unforced errors being introduced.
Now with an all-new user interface
TRAMPS is quite simply the most comprehensive property management tool available today, containing literally hundreds of routines and enquiries.
Unfortunately, all that power came at a price, and an unacceptable degree of complexity had begun to creep into the product.
Over the last year this has been addressed in a massive project to update the user interface and unleash the full power of TRAMPS to the ordinary user.
What can TRAMPS help you do?
The comprehensive nature of the database means that there is almost no limit to the variety of data that can be recorded against a company, property, unit, tenant, lease or supplier record, with photographs, notes and alerts, amenities, a document register, measurements (imperial and metric), acquisition and disposal details, rating, and of course the ability to create your own screens and data fields if the existing ones don’t suffice.
Other facilities include:
- capital valuation recording
- customised data fields
- head lease reporting
- void reporting
- property analysis
Fast data entry wizards guide the user step-by-step through the set up of a new company or fund, the properties it owns, creation of the property bank account, the unit set up and then the relevant lease data. This helps eliminate user error, cuts training time and ensures speedy entry of new property and portfolio information.
TRAMPS is a platform that can underpin all our future property management operations... and the price is about as good as you can get in this marketplace!

Never miss a critical date
A missed key event can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. We know - we’ve seen new clients come to us after their previous systems nearly put them out of business.
So when TRAMPS is first installed, we’ll create a workflow that recognises all of your critical dates and provides appropriate triggers for action at any future point. You can choose just how that works - escalating alerts, emails to various individuals, links to Outlook and so on - but it’ll soon become an integral part of your day-to-day life. And in 25 years, or whenever that lease expires – it’ll be TRAMPS that’s telling you to take action.
TRAMPS monitors all of your critical dates, including:
- Expiries
- Notice dates
- Redecoration clauses
- Routine procedures
Debt Recovery
Excellent arrears reporting and recovery facilities mean that debt recovery is accurate and efficient. Take advantage of flexible payment or extended credit facilities from your suppliers, secure in the knowledge that you won't incur interest charges.
Extensive Reporting Facilities
No matter how complex the information recorded in TRAMPS may be, everything can be accessed and reported upon easily. The system contains 200 standard reports (including flexible client accounts), as well as intuitive ‘Quick Reporters’.
For the truly inquisitive, our Report Writer add-on allows you to generate pretty much anything anyone could ever want - a true boon when creating customised reports for clients.
