Engineered Homes, one of the top Florida homebuilders in the Orlando area has selected SOFTRITE's Homebuilder Information System to used to manage their homebuilding operations. This system is used by other SOFTRITE clients to provide a centralized database that tracks all of the operational data related to the construction of each home.

In most homebuilders, there is a proliferation of spreadsheets used to track information related to buyers, contracts, permitting, construction and closings. SOFTRITE's Homebuilder Information System consolidates all of this information into a single database which is shared by all users in the company. A series of management reports are then generated that provide views of the data in a variety of formats.

According to SOFTRITE's Denny Johnson, "The system eliminates the need for users to type redundant data into multiple spreadsheets, just to produce the various formats needed throughout the organization. There is a single copy of the data maintained, which feeds all reports, eliminating descrepencies and drastically reducing administrative labor."

The Homebuilder Information System addresses an area of the business that is mostly overlooked by other homebuilder software. SOFTRITE orginally developed the system in 1985 for Richmond American Homes. Newer, customized versions have since been created for Lennar Homes, Brighton Homes and Park Square Homes.

Lennar Corporation has contracted SOFTRITE to assist them with their upcoming divisional moves in Orlando, Florida.  Over 300 employees from Lennar Homes and US Homes divisional offices will be moving into a new Orlando headquarters building in Maitland, FL. in March.  SOFTRITE will assist with preparing the associate's PCs and related network equipment for the moves, along with the setup and configuration of the equipment once it has been transported to the new offices.

SOFTRITE has been providing technical services to Lennar for over 19 years.   On an ongoing basis, SOFTRITE provides the onsite support services for nearly 1,000 PCs and related network equipment in Lennar offices throughout Florida.

Based in Miami and founded in 1954, Lennar Corporation is a $10.5 billion national homebuilder, consisting of many of the most respected homebuilding name brands in the country. They have delivered more than 500,000 homes in eighteen states.

Allegro Acceptance Corporation's new website went online today.  Allegro approached SOFTRITE late last year about taking on the project to create a new corporate website that would replace their existing one and expand the online capabilities for their dealers.

The new website has a public section offering information about Allegro and their services, and a private dealer section where authorized Allegro dealers can submit credit applications online.  Future plans include allowing the dealers to download the latest version of the Allegro Sales Document System (also developed by SOFTRITE), and additional tools to make it easier for the dealers to handle their financing needs.

SOFTRITE has started work to develop a new database system to be used by Park Square Area Managers on tablet PCs in the field.   The system will provide the field managers immediate access to information about homes under construction while they are onsite in the communities being developed, without having to contact the main office. 

The system will interface with, and be a subset of the SOFTRITE Homebuilder Information System which Park Square uses at their headquarters.  Park Square has worked closely with SOFTRITE for several years to expand the capabilities of the database system which SOFTRITE started developing back in 1985.  One of the major enhancements in the last few years has been integration with a dedicated website where Park Square home buyers can track the progress of their new home while it is being built.
