OMS upgrades including new online marketing view

 

1. New flat user interface

Tweaks were done to create a more consistent and cleaner user interface throughout the system:

2. Improved online marketing page with status and links to external portals

You can now view the status of your property listing on external portals presented by different icons as illustrated below. Should there be an error (e.g. the Private Property icon below) you can hover your mouse over the icon to get an icon description.

Reference numbers with links are also included next to the portals to quickly locate the listing. Where you see a ‘denied’ sign your listing does not appear on that website (where in most cases you don’t have a contract with them).

When you load a new listing and shortly after you’ve listed it, it will show a pending orange icon as illustrated below until the system picks up that it is listed:

3. Quicker area and agent selection

You can now type in an area/agent in a dropdown box to locate the entry faster:

4. New agenda view on Calendar

A new agenda view is now the default view when you open up the OMS dashboard. It will show appointments for your personal, office and group calendar for the next 4 weeks (28 days). It present a cleaner and more user friendly view of your future appointments.

In the month view we now also highlight the current date in light yellow:

5. Various other smaller user interface tweaks have been made to allow for easier data entry, navigation and viewing. For example the table/grid view of properties now include vertical lines for easer reading:

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

Image
What is the Base Zapier integration? The Entegral Base system was recently improved with a native Zapier app integration . This allows estate agents to exchange data and create automated workflows with over 2000+ popular apps, including all the leading CRM specific apps.  Why even link a CRM system? Although Base has contact management, contact categories, automatic lead import, and other great CRM features , users sometimes require very specific CRM functions that we don't (yet) cater to. With our Zapier integration , we allow agents to link any popular app with Base. Once linked with your app, you can for instance automatically synchronise your contacts from Base to the external app or vice versa.  The added benefit is that you can create automated workflows and link more apps (e.g. insert contact details into a Mailchimp drip email campaign  and ZOHO CRM at the same time). This makes the Zapier fee irreverent compared to the derived benefits.  Automated portal lead import from

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Image
Property24.com, South Africa’s largest property portal owned by Naspers, has bought rival Private Property . The deal is likely to come under the close scrutiny of competition authorities as it involves the two biggest property portals in the country. Due to the impact of such an acquisition on the industry, Entegral was interested to find out what the perceived advantages and disadvantages of such a deal would be, both through the eyes of the consumer and the estate agent.   Here are the results from around 250 responses received on a survey done over a 2 day period , mostly from agents and agency owners. While the survey presents a small portion of the market (a ccording to the EAAB's latest annual report there are 19,424 registered agents and agency owners, excluding intern estate agents, in South Africa) , f eedback has been received from well-respected agency owners and agents, and we believe this gives a good indication of the current view of agents. The fear from estate
