Don’t cut costs – invest! software
In uncertain economic climates, agents are often tempted to cut costs
but carefully considered investments can offer benefits, according to Mark Quigley of agency software provider, CARL Communications. “Investment in staff
development and training can exponentially increase productivity which is crucial to helping businesses survive. Systems can often become a burden on businesses, especially when they are not fit for purpose. Poor internal systems – hardware and software and, as importantly, lack of training on systems, can dramatically increase stress, directly impacting
motivation and effectiveness.” Mark says that their clients find that CARL streamlines labour-intensive processes, provides services often never-before considered and enhances operations in many measurable ways. “A great example is in the system’s ability to automate client account functionality. It not only manages all client account processes, but provides full bank reconciliation, reducing accounting bills and keeping full control within the business.” CARL’s system encompasses four key areas; management, accounting, administration and marketing, enabling users to manage the entire lettings process from the initial instruction to the end of a tenancy.
