Over 5 million photos managed in the OMS cloud

Here is an interesting statistic for you. Estate Agents using the OMS (Office Management System) are currently managing over 5 million photos (5,256,632 to be precise) of over 100,000 property listing mandates they’ve captured.  (These are for active South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique clients only and excludes our USA operations where nearly 1,000,000 MLS properties are imported and updated daily).

These photos can be accessed in a snap in the OMS and agents can add as many photos to listings as they want, not uncommon to see 50 photos on more upmarket properties. 

Listings are added and removed every day. In the last 24 hours over 12,000 new photos were added to the OMS by over 1,000 users.

These listings and photos are then exported seamlessly to thousands of property sale and rental websites including partner property portals.

More mind blowing is that these 5 million photos are backed up daily and we can retrieve an exact copy of photos up to 6 months back. All made possible through our unique cloud recovery tool we’ve developed.

The OMS runs on Entegral’s industry first real estate cloud platform and provides estate agents with an advanced management system to manage property listings, contacts, documents, referrals, brochures and more.

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
