Lindsey Software Systems is a comprehensive, customizable suite of online property management tools for tenant applications, payments and maintenance requests with work orders. It includes software modules for Accounting, Maintenance, Mobile Solutions, Occupancy and Security.
Accounting: Lindsey’s accounting modules provide an easy way to manage tenant collections. They include:

- General Ledger
- Lockbox
- Payroll
- Purchase Orders
- Receipt System

Maintenance: These modules make it easy and affordable to work “on-the-go.” They provide HQS and low-rent inspection systems, an inventory module, and work orders. The maintenance system can be integrated with other Lindsey modules.
The HQS Inspection System is integrated with Tenant & Applicant Processing so you can easily schedule appointments, conduct inspections on your handheld units and automatically print letters for tenants and landlords based on your inspectors’ input. You can also synchronize the Module with Lindsey’s other Software.
Sync your letters with the HQS Inspection form to automatically print them. The HQS Inspection System is available for iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone. You can purchase it as a stand-alone module to schedule appointments, perform inspections on handheld units and automatically print letters to tenants and landlords based on inspector input.
The Low-Rent Inspection System Module lets your inspectors inspect units using a mobile device. Just like the HQS System, the Low-Rent Inspection System integrates with Tenant & Applicant Processing, so you can schedule appointments, perform inspections on handheld units and automatically print inspections letters.
The Work Order Module is fast and easy to use. It’s also very thorough. Once you enter work orders, a number of things can occur: Call-in time of a tenant request is automatically entered, materials and charges are calculated, priced, and totaled, and a Work Order Unit Report is automatically be generated. These are only a few operations you can perform with the Work Order module.
Mobile Solutions include:
- Mobile Work Orders
- HQS Section 8 Inspections System
- Public Housing Inspections
- Meter Reader
- Fixed Assets Tracker
