Our new standalone listing syndication platform is now offically called Sync





Entegral has, over the past 12 months, completely redeveloped their listing syndication platform. The platform is now known as Entegral Sync. 

Sync simplifies the complexity of publishing listings to multiple property portals. It also greatly reduces the operational cost associated with maintaining multiple feeds and is the perfect solution for real estate organisations who have their own listing management system.  The platform is build from the ground up to use the latest cloud technologies, and automatically scales computing resources based on demand. Advanced features such as auto failover is provided. The platform is supported by a dedicated team while automated health checks continuously monitors for any problems. 

Sync provides lightning fast listing updates to portals that provide real time feeds and has already been implemented by a number of national and individual real estate offices in South Africa. Sync's biggest client, is however Entegral's very own OMS (Office Management System). Using the same technology that we now provide to external clients, has allowed us to fine tune the system and make it as efficient as possible. Pricing is currently set to R199/month per office.

The platform also acts as a central 'switch' where an office (or group) can enable or disable feeds to any portal. The platform furthermore allows for the individual selection of property portals for each property listing. Status feedbacks including external portal reference numbers are provided for each listing.  The Sync platform is available to any real estate agents worldwide, although, with the current property partner network, is more suited for agents in South Africa, Namibia and the UK.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

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
