Community Management System

ABDI-CMS (Community Management System)

Our Exclusive relationship with ABDI, allows us to bring the industry’s foremost community management software to you at NO COST. The CMS allows managers to maintain their resident database and all access control for their property from anywhere in the world on one simple and integrative system.

Applications by Design, Inc. (ABDi) is a software development company that specializes in highly customizable community management and access control solutions for gated communities, condominiums, high-rise apartments and country clubs throughout the country. ABDi is the service leader in the industry due to consistently reaching the goal of exceeding the expectations of community managers, Board/committee members, security professionals and residents!

EASY TO USE
Frequent security officer turnover is a fact of life in a gated community. This attrition, coupled with the reality that many guards have limited computer skills, can pose a major problem. ABDi’s software is extremely intuitive and easy to learn. In fact, the training time required for an entry level guard is measured in minutes, not days or even hours.
EXPERIENCE
ABDi’s software was developed by a former security guard. ABDi serves a nationwide client base of 900+ communities ranging in size from a few homes to 18,000 residents and one gate to 30 gate locations. Our staff’s average tenure with ABDi is 12 years. This broad experience allows us to anticipate and avoid potential problems to complete even the most complicated installations quickly and efficiently.
RELIABLE
It doesn’t matter how great a product is if it doesn’t work consistently. In a gated community, if the security software or access control system isn’t working, the security guards and community manager take the heat. ABDi’s products are optimized to ensure maximum uptime.
MODULAR & EXPANDABLE
Every ABDi system is engineered based on the community’s specifications. Since community wants and needs change frequently as a result of new priorities and circumstances, ABDi offers numerous useful modules that can be included in the initial system installation or added in the future.
