QuicPIC Features

QuicPIC is a Windows-based software program from Tenmast Software that automates your PIC data processing tasks.


	"Don't waste your time submitting records that PIC will reject."

QuicPIC can be used by any Housing Authority—regardless of your software system—to submit 50058 data to PIC and retrieve and manage your PIC Error Reports. QuicPIC works without any modification to your existing software system.

QuicPIC is what PIC processing should be. In essence, QuicPIC is a dedicated Web browser that eliminates the manual Web navigation required by HUD's PIC site. QuicPIC streamlines the PIC submission process and manages your Ticket Numbers and error reports in a standard database stored on your computer.

See a detailed list of features, below.

Check for Errors—Before Submitting

QuicPIC error-checks your 50058 records before submission to PIC, so you don't waste your time submitting records that PIC will reject. In other words, QuicPIC catches ALL errors in your 50058 records before you submit them. The program displays a detailed list of the 50058s with errors that you can print, and it includes a detailed error message with instructions (in English!) on how to correct the error. Then QuicPIC removes the error records from your submission file and automatically submits the remaining 50058 records to PIC. You can also print a submission list of the 50058 records that were sent.

Download the PIC Error Report—Automatically

Once QuicPIC submits your records to PIC, the program automatically monitors PIC and downloads the PIC Error Report when it is available. (Since QuicPIC error-checks your 50058 records before you submit them, you'll never have errors reported by PIC!) Then QuicPIC notifies you via e-mail that the report is ready to view or print from your computer.

Monitor PIC Compliance

Aside from all those time-saving steps, QuicPIC includes automated reporting capabilities that keep you informed of your PIC compliance. QuicPIC downloads and stores the PIC-calculated submission rate, late re-exams, and late HQS inspections. All of this data is constantly updated and displayed on the main program screen for easy access.

QuicPIC can also download the entire 50058 transaction file from PIC, or access a summary 50058 for any household, or perform a PHA Query using an SSN you enter in a query field in the program. For Public Housing projects, QuicPIC automatically retrieves a Unit Detail Report, an Occupancy Report, and a Vacancy Report. With the "PIC Status Report," QuicPIC performs a live comparison of your tenant data to current PIC data, calculates your TRUE PIC submission rate, and identifies any data discrepancies that prevent you from achieving 100% submission rate. All of the reports available through QuicPIC can be exported to Excel.

With this information stored on your local system, and updated constantly, you can more effectively monitor your compliance with the PIC data reporting requirements.
