Revamped property files & links functionality

A revamped property files & links functionality is now available on property listings.

It features a more user friendly interface for uploading files or links but also features the following improvements:

1) larger file sizes (up to 20MB files can now be uploaded depending on your account)

2) more files extensions (the system now allows all the common file formats like PDF, DOC, JPG etc)

A little info box bottom right will also provide you with details regarding the available space for files on your account. The total files uploaded on properties are calculated for your office and displayed here.  Review OMS account packages here for an overview of space available per account, ranging from 100MB to a massive 10GB (10,000MB). Additional space can also be purchased should you ever run out.  (If you upload on average 1MB documents, you will need to upload 10,000 files on the high end packages before you will need to purchase additional space). The storage is highly secure and is perfect for storing confidential files on each listing, or uploading documents to your website that can be downloaded by the public.

When selecting files for upload you will see a progress indicator. You can also select whether the file is for internal use or can be viewed by the public on your website or portals that support displaying files:

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 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
