If you are a manager of a property rental agency and want to automate the lettings process, then what you would need is the right software to commence automation and make the entire business more economical and efficient. There are many different software packages on the market, so how do you choose which is right for you? When you are looking at software suppliers, ask the following questions:
Can you let me try this for free?
If a software supplier is supremely confident that their software would indeed work, they would generally offer a free trial to customers. This would be very useful for you, being the customer, as it allows you to see how the software would mesh with your business needs and allows you to do a convenient comparo with other packages you may have tried out or used in the past. Software can be expensive, and you should always try and see it in action before you buy.
What about staff training?
It can be difficult to get to grips with new software, particularly for staff who are used to working with a different package, or who are not confident using computers. A good property rental software company should offer training to everyone who is going to be using the system. The reason for this is quite simple – this would make the company sure that you are properly using the software to your advantage, and make the letting agents know that the staff likes using the new system.
Is it flexible?
The standard software package may have some elements that your agency wouldn’t need, or conversely, you may have some required elements that you cannot find in the package. If the answer is no, then one interview question you will have to ask would be whether the company can customize the software package accordingly so it meets your needs and the company’s as well.
Who can I call in case of problems?
It would be funny if only it wasn’t happening to you, and it might happen to you – software acting up at the most inopportune time. As the manager of a busy agency, you need to know that if something goes wrong with the system, there will be telephone and on-site support from the software company. In some cases, support will come as part of the package and in others you may incur a fee. You will want to ask about this as well.
The introduction of new software is the ushering in of a sea change for every company that does so. So before you make the big decision, you should ask the right questions and gather the right data to make a sound buying choice.
