There’s never been a better time to convert your offline real estate software to an online solution

NEW UNLIMITTED ADSL PACKAGES

In the last 2 weeks South African’s joined the ‘rest of the world’ with unlimited ADSL bandwidth packages offered by MWeb and other ADSL service providers. The unlimited ADSL packages allow your estate agency to use as much data (bandwidth) as you want all at a fixed monthly price.

MWeb offers a very attractive package for 4MB lines starting at R899/month for line rental and the data package (or R539/month for MWEB and R413 telkom line rental).  Have a look at the offering here: http://www.mweb.co.za/adsl/ (Entegral recently switched to MWEB, signup and activation took only 10 minutes). Various other service providers have since come unboard like www.afrihost.com

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.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
