A More Secure and Stable System

September 1, 2008

With Nexus you are more stable and secure than other systems – your data stays in your office in your computers not on someone else’s remote server somewhere miles even states away. You know who has access to your proprietary data. Guest history, accounting and more.

Nexus allows you to decide each employee’s level of access within the system – you decide if a reservationist has access to more than just front desk functions or not. You can keep housekeeping personel restricted to housekeeping information. The same goes for maintenance.

And Nexus keeps a log of any changes to reservations – what was changed and the initials of who changed it.

Our credit card processing employs state of the art “tokenization” encryption. This is a method developed by our credit card processing partner, Shift4, to replace credit card numbers taken online with a digital “token” representing that credit card number to ensure greater security within the system.

Manage Your Business From Anywhere

September 1, 2008

Nexus offers management approved personel the ability to access their data from anywhere with internet access. This includes any functionality that can be performed on site in the office:

Set up new properties, change rates, taxes, create or cancel reservations, create work orders, etc.

With Nexus you have the stability and security of an onsite system with the remote management capabilities of a web based system. But if the internet is interupted your system is still accessable to your onsite staff. This is not the case with a web based system.

Certified Accounting

September 1, 2008

Nexus Software has been evaluated and certified by the NC Real Estate Commission. After intense scrutiny by the NC Real Estate Commission Nexus received certification as one of only two software systems with accounting certified for both short and long term rentals!

Nexus software handles all aspects of Property Management accounting.

A user of a compliant software package should possess a good working knowledge of accounting and the Commission’s Rules and Trust Account Guidelines and the ability to relate such knowledge to the software itself.

Web Based VS On-Site Systems

July 29, 2008

Web based or not – there are pros and cons to both sides of the debate.

“When it goes down everything stops, and it happens at least once a week”

“Its not always because our internet is down where we are. Sometimes their internet (the web based software company’s) is down and somethimes they are having problems with their computers”

These are quotes from the rental manager at a large V.R.M.* firm on Ocean Isle Beach using web based software. This company maintains both DSL and Cable internet (with the attendant monthly expense) and still “everything stops” at least once a week. They have had their reservations, housekeeping and guest history records unavailable, for many hours (even days) at a time during busy times including the 4th of July weekend. When this happens making reservations, checking guests in and out, even accounting comes to a halt.

There are pros and cons to both sides of the “Should I go web based or not” debate, but with Nexus you get the security and stability of having your software right there onsite with you while having the convenience of being able to come into your system remotely, securely to be able to manage your business from anywhere with internet access.

Of course if the internet is down you would lose that ability and your online booking will be down, however your business remains up and running able to make phone reservations, checking guests in and out, housekeeping and guest history records remain available, even accounting continue to function.

Accounting Interface

July 28, 2008

With our QuickBooks interface you can export your  certified Nexus accounting into QuickBooks to manage accounting for your business as a whole. You simply select the fields you’d like (occupancy tax, state tax, rental commission, etc.) and choose export.

Your figures can then be merged with the rest of your business accounting (payroll, building expenses, etc.) for overall accounting for your business.

This also allows business with multiple areas of business (rentals, Real Estate Sales, P.O.A. management, Construction, etc.) to bring all accounting from these areas into one place for an overall financial picture.
