Q:  What is Landport?

A: It is an easy to use, Internet Driven^® solution (Patent Pending) for managing commercial office buildings.  It enables tenants or office personnel to submit maintenance requests via a secure website customized for their particular office building.   Property or facility managers are notified according to their personal preference (email, pager, fax, etc.) and then securely log-in to review the details.   They then compose work orders and solicit proposals from one or more preferred service vendors, who are also notified according to personal preference upon solicitation.  Vendors then respond with online bids and/or service schedules, and once the work is completed and approved, submit electronic invoices.  The entire process is managed from start to finish via the Landport system, providing everyone the most up-to-date status at a glance.  Please take our Virtual Tour for more info.
