No peering issues for Entegral clients using MWEB as ISP

MWeb recently announced that it would no longer have transit links with MTN, Vodacom and Telkom, read the full story here: http://www.news24.com/SciTech/News/MWEB-cuts-ties-over-peering-20101028. Many of our competitors have issued warnings to their clients on slower system and email access if they are using MWEB as an ISP.

With Entegral hosting their own dedicated servers at Internet Solutions (IS), Africa’s largest ISP and 1st tier internet provider, we can happily report that this does not affect Entegral clients (using MWEB as their ISP).

Entegral invests heavily into their server and network infrastructure and is also in the process of upgrading our server farm at Internet Solutions. It will be an industry first, with a custom Cloud Server Solution currently being build offering 100% uptime and increased performance.

Just another reason why partnering with Entegral as your real estate service provider makes sense.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

Image
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 l...

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 ...
