What is MRI Strata Master?

MRI Strata Master is a comprehensive strata management platform tailored for Australian legislation. It combines powerful automation, compliance tracking, and communication tools to help strata managers deliver exceptional service.

Key features of MRI Strata Master

MRI Strata Master goes beyond basic functionality. Here are its standout features:

1. Compliance Register

Maintain registers for compliance, contracts, meetings, keys, improvements, and by-law registrations-all in one place. This ensures nothing slips through the cracks.

2. Contact Management

Record unlimited contact details for owners, agents, and tenants. Distribute levies, meeting documentation, and correspondence via email to multiple contacts effortlessly.

3. Corporation Audit Trail

Track every change made to Owners Corporation records, including user, time, and date stamps. This transparency builds trust and accountability.

4. Repairs & Maintenance

Issue jobs faster with default delivery contacts and creditor details. Work order and quote cost limits prevent overspending, ensuring financial control.

A configurable checklist guides you through meeting preparation, execution, and follow-up tasks, making meetings stress-free and compliant.

Empower owners and executives to view their financial records online. This reduces incoming calls and frees up time for portfolio management.

How does MRI Strata Master compare to other tools?

Ease of use

MRI Strata Master’s intuitive interface is designed for strata professionals. Competing tools often lack user-friendly dashboards, increasing training time.

Automation & compliance

Automation is a core strength of MRI Strata Master. From levy generation to compliance reminders, it reduces manual tasks. Other tools may offer automation but often lack depth in compliance features tailored to Australian regulations.

Integration capabilities

MRI Strata Master integrates seamlessly with other MRI solutions and third-party apps, creating a unified ecosystem. Many competitors provide limited integration, leading to fragmented workflows.

Support & training

MRI Software offers extensive training resources and local support. Competing platforms often rely on generic help centres, which can frustrate users needing region-specific guidance.

Online invoice approval with File Smart

The Online Invoice Approval module, part of File Smart for MRI Strata Master, revolutionises the way committees handle invoice approvals. It enables strata managers to bulk-send invoices for approval, automatically notify all relevant approvers, and track responses in real time.

Once the majority approval is reached, the system seamlessly adds the invoice to the payment queue, eliminating manual follow-ups and saving hours every week. For committee members, the process is equally simple: everything they need is available online and accessible from anywhere via secure portals. This streamlined approach not only improves efficiency but also enhances transparency and convenience for all stakeholders.

Benefits of choosing MRI Strata Master

• Time Savings: Automation reduces administrative burden.
• Accuracy: Built-in compliance features minimise risk.
• Scalability: Suitable for small and large portfolios.
• Local Expertise: Designed for Australian strata legislation.
• Transparency: Audit trails and portals improve stakeholder trust.

Challenges with other strata management tools

• Limited compliance registers.
• Poor integration with accounting systems.
• Higher learning curve for staff.
• Inconsistent customer support.
