Property photo quality and sizes enhanced

We have reduced the amount of compression on thumbnail photos and also increased the sizes of thumbnail and large photos. This results in enhanced photo quality for new photos uploaded through the OMS.

Below is a comparison of the old thumbnail size (left) and the new thumbnail size (right):

Note that sizes on most websites will not change in search results and property details as we fix the width and height. We will increase sizes at a later stage once enough new photos have been uploaded in the system.

Below is a sample of the old large photo size:

and here the larger photo size that is 40% larger.

The OMS is the only estate agency management software that provides functionality to upload an unlimited number of photos and the new large photo size is the largest amongst service providers.

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.

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
