IMS Platform Overview
What is IMS Platform?
IMS Platform is a cloud-based, fully integrated investor management solution for commercial real estate investment firms, with tools including distribution waterfalls, investor dashboards, document management, an in-built CRM, investor mobile apps for Android and iOS, and advanced analytics. The platform gives real estate firms the tools to automate waterfall distribution calculations, improve relations with investors by providing full transparency, and drive asset performance through actionable insights.
The IMS Platform aims to increase efficiency and help businesses save time by automating tasks such as distribution waterfall calculations and distribution workflows. The waterfall tool facilitates the delegation, automation, and distribution of sponsorship funds, and the in-built calculator produces sums based on pre-defined, associated rules and historical investment data.
Investor dashboards enable users to provide their real estate investors with complete transparency into current investment positions and performance, as well as distribution history. Dashboards are fully white-labeled and can be customized with the company logos and branding, and content can also be customized with the option to choose from a range of performance metrics. Investors also have access to distribution and performance data via the IMS Platform self-service mobile applications for investors. Documents can be accessed through the mobile app, and the IMP Platform facilitates document management in the form of secure storage, sharing, email notifications, automated K-1 upload, form parsing, and more.
The IMS Advanced Analytics module provides users with actionable insights into property performance, positive and negative trends, gross income, and other relevant metrics, through visual reports and dashboards. Data is automatically collected from the IMS Platform to create interactive reports and analytics.

IMS - Excellent Investor Platform
IMS has helped us communicate much more efficiently with our investors.
Love our IMS Portal!
Great product! We reached out to other operators in the real estate syndication business and they said this is one of the top portals to use for investors.
IMS Simply Did Not Work for Us
We made every effort to make IMS work for us. We even went so far as to pay for IMS personnel to come to our offices for a few days in order to see if they could really come to undersand what the needs of our family of funds were and how we could best deploy their system in support of our investor relations goals. In the end, we got a lot of lip service and promises for system enhancements, but IMS never delivered. Ultimately, we were compelled to terminate our contract and move to a different platform.
Great customer service, easy to use!!
Overall, very happy that we moved over to them because it has saved us a lot of headaches and time with managing our capital partners...
great software that is constantly getting better
It allows me to run lean and steam lines some of the most important back office components of my business.

IMS - Excellent Investor Platform
Pros
We have used IMS for 2 years or so and we have enjoyed working with IMS and their entire staff. The system gave us an affordable, efficient and very robust way to keep track of (CRM) our investors, raise money, make distributions, and communicate with our 100 plus investors.
Cons
I do not have any negatives to report regarding IMS.
Love our IMS Portal!
Great product! We reached out to other operators in the real estate syndication business and they said this is one of the top portals to use for investors.
Pros
Ease of use for us as admins and for our investors. We have had several compliments on how easy it is to find info about their investments and the documents associated with them. We also love the ability to have our investors do online signatures, very quick and easy.
Cons
So many features it may take some time before we learn what they are and how to use them, which is a good thing!

Pros
Price point was at the low end of market.
Cons
Ineffectual support. Platform would freeze or crash frequently. We were told this was due to our fund's "large size", which was, at the time, only 300 investors. System was not intuitive to use.
Response from Investor Management Services
We are sorry that you didn¿t feel like IMS was the best partner for your firm during our brief engagement, that said, this feedback appears to be quite dated. Your experience indicates that you had left IMS prior to some significant updates to our support structure and capacity. Further, in the last year, we have rolled out extensive fund enhancements that include Commitments and Capital Calls, added additional fund-specific metrics to the dashboards, and improved our reporting abilities with the release of Investor Statements.
Great customer service, easy to use!!
Overall, very happy that we moved over to them because it has saved us a lot of headaches and time with managing our capital partners...
Pros
I like the efficiencies and time that it saves. It also helps us to be more process oriented and in control of our touch points with investors. The software is constantly being improved and bugs are quickly fixed. Very happy with the responsiveness and engagement from customer service and our account rep! The new portal is much more design forward and it really blends in nicely as a white-labeled back end software tied to our existing website.
Cons
I didn't like that there were still some bugs to work out (which to be clear have been fixed) and there were some fixes that needed to occur after we initially adopted it. I didn't like the earlier design options since we were trying to blend it seamlessly into our branding and "look". Fortunately, improvements and fixes are always occurring and IMS has been great to work with.
great software that is constantly getting better
It allows me to run lean and steam lines some of the most important back office components of my business.
Pros
It has allowed me to run my business without hiring a single coder or developer. The IMS support team is always helpful and great at passing on feedback to their development team. New features are consistently being added and existing ones are always improving.
Cons
There can be a bit of a learning curve but IMS-U as well as the support team is always helpful.
