LAMPS™ is an Internet-based membership management software tool specifically developed for REALTOR® Associations which provides real time integration with the National Association of REALTOR® Database System. In addition, LAMPS™ provides comprehensive management tools, which include committee management, education, convention and meeting management.
Over the past two years, BravePoint has worked closely with various realtor associations and real estate professionals first in developing LAMPS™ and then in expanding its capabilities. Through this process, BravePoint was able to understand the information management demands of the industry and consequently, evolve LAMPS™ into the premier association software solution for the real estate industry.
