Residential sales and lettings can be a complex industry. For that reason, estate agents and lettings agents have to overcome a variety of challenges each and every day. This is where property software integrations come in.
In such a fast-paced, varied field of work, property software integrations can provide much-needed relief and efficiency, helping sales and lettings teams tackle these challenges head-on by streamlining their work and automating tasks.
At Inventory Base, we’re committed to partnering with leading property software companies and industry-standard platforms. Doing so helps us to ensure that residential sales and lettings professionals, or any property professional for that matter, can establish a level of consistency and efficiency in their work across organisations, systems and teams.
One such partnership is with MRI Software, one of the world’s leading providers of real estate software solutions. Through the MRI Partner Connect Program, estate agents and lettings agents can manage their properties, resolve tenant issues and handle maintenance requests in a way that is both detailed and structured.
But before we get into the features of the Inventory Base and MRI Software integration, let’s first take a look at software integrations, why they’re important for busy residential sales and lettings teams, and how they can help businesses streamline their operations.
What are software integrations?
Software integration is the process of connecting two or more software systems so that they can communicate and transfer data back and forth. For example, a property management company may integrate their maintenance tracking software with their accounting software. This integration allows details about maintenance tasks to be automatically transferred from one software to the other, so everything can be managed in one place.
Integrations have become increasingly powerful in recent years due to cloud-based solutions. These offer a wide range of benefits, including better accessibility, scalability and affordability. They can be accessed from many different devices, anywhere and at any time.
One of the most significant benefits of software integrations is the ability to streamline business processes across different platforms or areas of the company. Connecting different software systems in this way gives businesses the tools to automate tasks that were previously done manually. This can save a lot of time, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.
In addition to streamlining processes, software integrations can also improve data accuracy. Data is powerful these days, so it’s important to take it seriously. When data is transferred automatically between two or more systems, there is less chance for human error. This can be particularly important in industries such as property management, where accurate data is essential for making informed business decisions and not doubling up on any work – which can be costly.
Another benefit of software integrations is increased visibility. When businesses connect different software systems, they’re able to get a 360-degree picture of their work. This visibility can help businesses identify areas for improvement and make more data-driven decisions, rather than basing them on assumptions or out-of-date information.
Streamlining operations with property software integrations
As anyone who works in residential sales and lettings will know, managing multiple properties can be a daunting task. With so many things to keep track of, it can be challenging to keep everything organised and running smoothly between different people, teams across different organisations and service providers.
Property software integrations connect different systems and platforms, so companies can avoid time-consuming manual data entry, which in turn reduces the risk of human error. This improves the accuracy of data. Up until now, the property industry has largely been built around documents. Now that’s changing – it’s more about documents and data!
Integrating property management software with tenant screening software, for example, can help automate the tenant screening process. As an added benefit, processes and systems like this can help to ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR.
Another area feeling the benefits of property software integrations is maintenance. By integrating property management software with maintenance software, it’s much simpler to ensure that all maintenance tasks are completed swiftly and accurately. This can be done by automating work orders and tracking maintenance requests across systems. The best property software integrations even go one step further, so any costs recorded in one platform can be passed seamlessly through to accountancy software, for example.
Another key benefit of property software integrations is that data becomes easier to manage. With integrated software, platforms and solutions, it’s easier to access data and property information all in one place. Instead of duplicating information from one platform to the next, integrations enable the seamless transfer of information.
So you can see that property software integrations take the pressure off and remove time-consuming manual work, giving property professionals the time they desperately need to focus on other critical tasks, whether that’s improving tenant satisfaction, finding new revenue streams or maintaining properties to a higher standard.
Overall, property software integrations help businesses operate more efficiently and effectively and the automation of tedious tasks cannot be overstated. Automation frees up time that can be better used on what really matters.
Inventory Base and MRI Sales & Lettings integration
MRI Software customers now have the ability to integrate their MRI Sales & Lettings platform with Inventory Base, offering several key benefits and distinct advantages.
One such advantage is the ability to choose property departments to sync to Inventory Base. This feature allows customers to select only the property departments that they require, such as residential or commercial portfolios, or a combination of both. As a result, customers have greater flexibility and control over the import of properties to align with workflows and effectively manage the types of properties that require reports or inspections.
Another feature of the integration is property syncs, providing seamless access to property data within the MRI Sales & Lettings platform. This eliminates the duplication of properties on both systems and updates the inspection information on MRI for a property. By syncing properties, customers can save time and reduce the risk of errors in data entry.
In addition, the integration allows for actions on Inventory Base to sync in MRI Sales & Lettings. This means that recorded actions are automatically transferred to the corresponding recorded actions on MRI, eliminating the duplication of recorded actions and improving the customers’ workflows. Again, this feature greatly simplifies the process of recording and managing properties between different platforms, ensuring that customers can focus on their core tasks without the need to duplicate their work.
Finally, inventory reports, check-ins, check-outs and periodic inspection reports conducted in Inventory Base are easily accessible from the MRI Sales & Lettings platform. Once marked complete in Inventory Base, the report will be automatically reflected under the corresponding property in MRI Sales & Lettings. This process simplifies data collection, storage and management, making it easier for customers to access and manage their property reports in one platform.
Overall, the MRI Sales & Lettings and Inventory Base integration offers several benefits and advantages, such as greater flexibility and control over their work, with seamless access to property data and easier storage, access and management of reports.
Efficiency is the key to success
Success relies heavily on efficiency, especially in the property industry. Improving efficiency has been proven to decrease expenses, increase output and earnings, and enable businesses to offer improved services to their customers while also saving time. To achieve these benefits, it is essential to utilise property software integrations that allow sales and rental experts to simplify their procedures and automate tasks.
To that end, property software integrations are vital as they give sales and lettings professionals the ways and means to streamline their operations and automate tasks. Choosing the right platform is key to driving change and ensuring that the integration works for all stakeholders. Therefore investing in software that works seamlessly with other leading industry solutions and platforms will help property professionals remain competitive in a demanding, complex and ever-evolving industry.
