DIRECT PMS VS MRI SOFTWARE

Switching from MRI Software to Direct PMS

MRI Software is commercial and institutional property management software. Direct PMS covers the same ground, plus the business lines MRI Software-class tools were never built for — leasing, sales, caretaking and fit-outs on the same registry, ledger and calendar.

MRI Software is an independent product and this page isn't affiliated with or reviewed by them. Comparisons below describe how Direct PMS is built, not an audited feature-by-feature breakdown of MRI Software's current product — features and pricing change, so verify specifics on MRI Software's own site before deciding.

Where Direct PMS is different

Right-sized, not dumbed down
WITH DIRECT

The discipline you need — deposits, arrears, SLAs, an auditable ledger — live in weeks, priced per unit.

MRI SOFTWARE-CLASS TOOLS

Enterprise implementations measured in quarters and five figures.

Cross-border portfolios
WITH DIRECT

Every money event carries its currency and an FX snapshot to your base currency; reports never shift retroactively.

MRI SOFTWARE-CLASS TOOLS

One currency per database, or a consolidation spreadsheet.

Property types included
WITH DIRECT

Shops, offices and plots are first-class property types in the same registry as everything else.

MRI SOFTWARE-CLASS TOOLS

Residential tools with 'office' shoehorned in.

What you get that MRI Software doesn't cover

Direct PMS runs every business line on one registry — you only subscribe to the modules you use.

Leasing

Leases with deposits held on the ledger, monthly invoicing, arrears aging in the rent-roll matrix, notice and end-of-term flows that release the space automatically.

Caretaking

Work orders with priority and SLA, asset registers for plant and equipment, site staff attendance with vendor billing.

Property Sales

Dispositions and strata resales with commissions posting straight to the books.

Fitouts

Fit-out packages for incoming tenants — quote, approve, invoice.

Short Term Rentals

Auditoriums, event spaces and flexible suites can sell by the day.
