CRM (Customer Relationship Management)

Any business is always about communication with a customer. So the sphere of customer relationship is the one, where all processes should be perfectly organized. In this respect we propose the implementation of CRM systems, which will help your services to “shift gears”.

The CRM concept provides that all disconnected tools of business operations will be joined in an arranged system. Instead of Excel spreadsheets, messengers, piles of documents and rushing through the offices you will have a single service. It includes programs on customers data collection, contract management, analytics and forecasting. It simplifies the routine, accelerates the process of making correct decisions and eliminates errors. Thus the biggest benefits of CRM can be outlined as follows:

  • improved informational organization;
  • improved customer service
  • automation of daily tasks
  • greater efficiency for multiple teams;
  • improved analytical data and reporting.

Processes automation systems

Real estate business is rapidly developing. It constantly needs organization of various processes like arrangement of multiple projects, tracking different locations, keeping up to date assets and documentation, finding tenants, selling property, etc. For better functioning of the whole system these disconnected processes should be somehow joined together. And in this regard automation and use of technology helps to improve communication and reduce disorders in managing of various real estate activities like:

  • business processes and workflows
  • marketing
  • contracts and documentation
  • business analytics
  • accounting

Renewals of contracts, e-mails, tasks, documents as well as property details, progress of current projects, tracking of property constructions, managing of staff workloads become centralized - the scope of activities is really huge. That is why leading companies are using business process automation to take their organization to the next level

Mobile applications

According to the statistics, the majority of people nowadays spend a lot of time on their smartphones, which means that the development of mobile applications is very much in demand. Moreover, recent research shows that 90% of the users’ mobile time is spent in apps, and only 10% browsing the rest of the internet. In the E-commerce space, the contrast is even more notable: mobile app users spend on average about 200 minutes per month shopping, compared to 11 minutes a month for website users. Mobile apps, mobile games and mobile solutions have recently gained a lot of focus in many industries due to the fast-developing market for mobile devices. It is becoming a standard today to have software solutions supporting mobile devices. Mobile apps help to solve a lot of marketing tasks and have a range of advantages:

1. They are faster and easier to use than mobile websites.

Mobile apps are loading faster than mobile websites, as they save user settings and do not require the download of the whole browser content, their work doesn’t really depend on the speed and quality of the Internet connection.

2. They improve customer loyalty.

Your smartphone is always at hand, the icon on the screen is like a flashy banner: it reminds the user of the possibility to make a purchase or order online. And this can obviously increase the probability of a follow-up usage.

3. They provide a higher level of communication with customers.

Mobile applications allow to influence the users by means of push-notifications with commercial messages and promotional activities. (you just have to activate this function on your gadget.) Competent and prudent distribution of notifications is able to convert users into your customers.

Surely it is up to you to decide which kind of apps: mobile or web will suit you best. The set of functions of your application depends on your particular needs and objectives.
