Integrate video tours into your listings for free

More and more agents are using the video and OMS internal virtual tours on property listings. Both are free and offer a way to enhance your listing over most of the 'stock standard' property listings you see.

OMS internal virtual tours
Create free 360 degree virtual tours for all your properties using the OMS internal virtual tour system. You upload the panoramic photos into the OMS and a virtual tour is displayed on your listings. The virtual tour viewer has a dropdown where visitors can select different scenes/rooms and a maximise to full screen button. A bit of trail and error but once you see how easy it is, you will save thousands over using external virtual tour companies and can promote it on more mandates.

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

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
