Associa, the undisputed leader in community association management in the US, has chosen Merlin as its technology partner to serve their timeshare and fractional ownership clients.
Associa currently serves over three million members in homeowner associations across the United States as well as their timeshare and fractional management communities.
“We needed an experienced technological partner with high customer service standards to help us provide our clients with a personal and professional product. Merlin Software was the obvious choice for us given their depth of functionality and operational understanding,”
Associa was particularly impressed with the operational knowledge of the Merlin team which has an extensive history in not just developing the software but also managing projects to ensure proper implementation. The Merlin Software functionality that allows fractional owners to access account details online was also a major interest of Associa’s. ”Merlin’s functionality allows us to handle every aspect of fractional management from maintenance fee billing to managing rosters and reservations,”
From fixed weeks and points to fractionals and private residence clubs, Merlin’s software functionality provides a single software solution for today’s management companies. Developed as state-of-the-
Merlin’s interactive functionality allows management companies to integrate the software with their current websites for online bookings and payments. Members can transact in real time with their management company, accessing the same data and with all activities written back directly into Merlin.
Merlin, the leading industry software provider, delivers software directly to users over the internet using the new technology of Cloud Computing. According to chief software developer Mike Pnematicatos “Merlin is resource light, incredibly intuitive and allows unlimited users and multiple locations to access the software securely in real time from anywhere in the world. It enables resorts and hotels to benefit from time and cost savings - yet still be at the cutting edge of internet technology.”
