Enterprise DNA

Instead of MRI Strata Master

Moving off MRI Strata Master? Own the strata system your managers work in.

Enterprise DNA builds a body corporate system around how your firm runs its AGMs, levies and registers. We map your Strata Master records into it and run it for you, and the trust accounting stays in the system that already holds it.

MRI does not publish a price for Strata Master. You request a demo, tell them how many properties you manage, and get a quote.

What the quote covers

A strata suite priced in private, around a roll that is already yours

The owners, the lots, the levy history and the registers are records your firm built up. Strata Master is the software wrapped around them, and its price is only shared in a sales conversation.

request_quote

No price on the page

The Strata Master product page has no price at all. The way in is a request for information or a demo, and the form asks how many properties you manage before anyone talks numbers.

layers

The extras sit alongside the core

The Meetings app for running a meeting from a tablet, the Owner and Committee Portal, and File Smart for scanning and archiving documents sit alongside the core system, and File Smart has its own product page.

account_balance

Built around the trust ledger

Trust accounting, electronic banking and bank reconciliation sit at the centre of Strata Master. The day to day work of a manager, the meetings, the chasing, the registers, is arranged around the ledger rather than the other way round.

checklist

Wizards for the set tasks

Meetings, agendas and change of ownership run through wizards and checklists.

dashboard

Reports by scheme, owner or trade

Reports run by scheme, owner, tradesperson or managing agent.

lock

No export path on the page

The product page talks about reports and emailing them, but says nothing about how a firm takes its whole roll and history out in one go.

What your managers run instead

A body corporate book that answers back

Meetings

AGM season without the wizard

Ask which schemes are close to their legal deadline for the annual meeting and get the whole portfolio back, worst first, with the notice period already counted.

  • check Held, booked or at risk, for every scheme and every manager at once
  • check A meeting booked too close to the date is flagged while there is still time to move it
  • check The agenda drawn from the scheme's own year: levies to set, valuations due, work above the committee's limit
  • check Notices and minutes in your firm's colours, followed until owners have the minutes

Levies

Debt recovery with every step dated

Levies split across lots by entitlement, and overdue lots move up a dated ladder your firm sets, so a file is in order before it reaches a collector.

  • check Each lot's share worked to the cent from the entitlement schedule
  • check Reminder, demand and recovery dates on every file, with the missing step named
  • check The letter for the next step drafted from the ledger, for a manager to read and send
  • check Which owners fall behind again and again, across every building you manage, in one answer

Registers

Compliance, insurance and sales in one book

The registers Strata Master keeps become one set of records you can question across the portfolio, each rule pointing to the law behind it.

  • check Every policy's expiry and premium, and how old the valuation behind the sum insured is
  • check A sum insured below a newer valuation called out the day the valuation is recorded
  • check The disclosure clock on every sale, oldest first, with the conveyancer named
  • check New Zealand rules shipped with their sources, Australian state rules written in for your firm

Yours

Your records, your paperwork, your way of working

A database your firm owns, documents rendered from it in your brand, and read-only pages for the week. No client money touches it.

  • check Levy notices, arrears letters and meeting notices with your logo and colours
  • check Read-only pages for the week and the portfolio, nothing to log into
  • check Your Strata Master roll brought across, with a test run before anything is written
  • check Add a field or a rule, or change a step, by describing it in plain English

Switching

How to switch from MRI Strata Master

A move usually involves exporting records, mapping your fields and rules, then checking both systems side by side before you switch.

  1. 1

    Request your MRI exports

    MRI does not publish a bulk export guide, so check with MRI support about which reports your account can save, usually as CSV or Excel. Start with the scheme list and the owner roll with entitlements. Ask what other records you can export and decide which you need for the move.

  2. 2

    Run a test import

    Use the Strata Master import mode to read your exported files, and start with its test run. The test shows what would land before anything is written. The import expects Strata Master files with the StrataMax column layout, so your files may need field mapping before they are ready to load.

  3. 3

    Review the import results

    Check what the test run flags before loading anything. Confirm that schemes, owners and entitlements have landed as expected, and note fields that need mapping or correction. Agree opening arrears against the old ledger, since the new levy ledger starts fresh from your changeover date.

  4. 4

    Run both systems briefly

    Keep MRI Strata Master available while you check the new records against the old ones and work through your day-to-day tasks in both systems. Pay particular attention to the records you rely on for owners, meetings, debt recovery, maintenance, insurance and compliance. Use this short parallel period to resolve gaps before you change over.

  5. 5

    Switch off MRI when ready

    After the side-by-side check, switch off MRI Strata Master only when you have confirmed the records you need are in the new database and know where your trust account will continue to be managed. Body Corporate for Claude Code does not handle banking, payments or account reconciliation, so keep that work in a system built for trust accounting.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The main work is mapping your own fields and rules, checking the imported records, and deciding how much history to bring. The levy ledger starts fresh from your changeover date, with opening arrears agreed against the old one. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run it for you, Enterprise DNA does the mapping part.

Questions

Instead of MRI Strata Master, answered

Strata Master does our trust accounting. Does that move too? expand_more

No, and that is on purpose. Trust accounting carries an auditor and a legal obligation, and it belongs in a system built for it. The free version keeps a levy record so the arrears figures add up, but it never banks a payment, pays a contractor or reconciles an account. What moves is the work around the money: owners, meetings, debt recovery, maintenance, insurance and the compliance register. When we build your version we connect it to wherever your trust account lives, so nobody types the roll twice.

How do we get our records out of Strata Master? expand_more

MRI's product page does not describe a bulk export, so start by asking MRI support which reports you can save as a spreadsheet file, usually the scheme list and the owner roll with entitlements. The free version has a Strata Master import mode, and a test run shows what would land before anything is written. Your files may lay the columns out differently, so mapping them is part of what Enterprise DNA does for you, or you can ask Claude Code to do it. The levy ledger starts fresh from your changeover date, with opening arrears agreed against the old one.

Our committees use the portal and we run meetings on the tablet app. What replaces those? expand_more

The free version is for managers. It drafts the notices, agendas and minutes, and records the votes after the meeting. If owners or committee members need their own login, or your managers want something to tap through on a tablet in the room, that is a front end Enterprise DNA builds into your version, running on the same records.

We manage schemes in New Zealand and Australia. Does it handle both? expand_more

The shipped rules cite the New Zealand Unit Titles Act 2010: the six month AGM deadline, meeting notice, the long term maintenance plan, insurance at full replacement value and the disclosure clock. The rules are records you edit, not code, so the New South Wales or Queensland versions are written in for your firm and each one names its source. It checks your records against your rule book. It is not legal advice.

What does it cost compared with Strata Master? expand_more

The free version costs nothing and has no lot or seat limit. When Enterprise DNA builds and runs it for you, it is one setup fee and then a monthly retainer, worked out on the call against what your firm actually needs. MRI quotes Strata Master privately, so the fair comparison is your own invoice: bring it to the call and we will go through it line by line.
