We’re on a mission to build the world’s best property management system for vacation rentals.
Our History
The Launch of LMPM v4
LMPM v4 is the application system we’ve always wanted to build.
With v4 we’ve hardened security, launched a completely new web builder with WordPress v5.8 and Gutenberg 2 blocks plus enhanced design features, upgraded our Trust Account system to use AWS Step Functions to improve the entire system’s speed and packet integrity, more reporting functionality, a brand-new reservation grid that’s fully integrated with our complex trip builder, and so much more it’s impossible to summarize.
LMPM v4 is a big deal! Have a look at this video for an in-depth review of the features above including a review of LMPM Trust Accounting v4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHA5b6qU-cw
LMPM v3.1 released
We launched LMPM v3.1 throughout Q1 2021. This version allowed us to self-replicate LMPM’s entire application and trust accounting system with a fully working, best-practice, trust account system that can be amended to fit your particular company’s exact requirements.
The Year of Covid
2020 was an incredibly unique year for the vacation property management industry as a whole. For LMPM the Year of Covid gave us the time to finish v3, bring in a wonderful new Board of Directors, and fund the project for many years to come.
LMPM 2.1 launches at Rezfest 2019
In October 2019 we launched LMPM with Trust Accounting v2.1 at Rezfest 2019 (Las Vegas) and VRMA International (New Orleans) two weeks later. The industry was starting to wake up to LMPM and the power of what we’ve built.
LMPM 1.0 launches
LMPM v1.0 launches with Whistler Platinum as our first client. Damian Saw, CEO, was our original subject matter expert for LMPM’s foundation and development.

Lightmaker is Founded
Lightmaker was founded on Oct 1, 1997 as a digital agency in Royal Tunbridge Wells, England. We built commercial applications originally for communities (there was a time before Facebook!), then in the healthcare (Mayo Clinic, Orlando Health, UFHealth) and banking verticals (BNY Melon, RBS Bank).
Our Software
We built the next generation of property management software to make it easier for vacation rental management companies to run their businesses. They use our vacation rental software to manage their properties and host guests from all around the world.
