Our History

Founded in 1979 as a consulting firm specializing in the design and development of computer software for the commercial property management and development professions. In 1982, CenterSoft Corp. was selected by the International Council of Shopping Centers as the sole company to design, develop, market, and support a new computer software product for the members of ICSC which would revolutionize the property management profession by providing a tool to help manage leases and enforce the required accounting disciplines as stipulated by many accounting firms. The product, known as CenterSoft, set the stage for one of the most dynamic evolutions in any vertical market. Two of the characteristics of CenterSoft Corp. which set it apart from all of our competitors are its determination to constantly stay in touch with the world market as it relates to property management and to adapt CenterSoft to the ever changing methods of lease negotiations, tenant/landlord relations, and accounting methods.

The CenterSoft Team

The staff at CenterSoft is comprised of experienced professionals in the fields of property management, real estate development, accounting, and computer science who share the common goal to provide the best products, the best service, and the best support to the vertical market of property management and development.
