About
sheltermanager.com offers database hosting packages for the Animal Shelter Manager computer software solution.
How does it work? ASM itself is split into two main layers, a rich multi-platform client and a database that holds all of your information. The database can be used simultaneously by many different clients.
sheltermanager.com offers an online hosted database, allowing many clients on different computers to all share one database over the internet. To use our hosting, you just need an internet connection and a copy of ASM installed on your computer.
