PropTech Data boost for agents - do you want to be in pilot project?

Agents are being invited to take part in a pilot project which claims it will cut down on ‘back office’ chores for lettings agents. 

Alto, the cloud-based software which is part of the Zoopla empire, says the PropTech evolution ”will unlock significant time saving for Jupix customers who upgrade to Alto.” 

The pilot launch follows an increase in Jupix customers who have decided to migrate to Alto which now includes enhanced reporting, tenant and landlord document-sharing as well as training delivered through on-demand and live webinars. 

Once Jupix customers select their migration date, the transfer of data can begin within just 24 hours of the selected date - while the progress of the transfer can be monitored by customers in real-time via the ‘Progress Tracker’. 

Agents will receive a confirmation email when the data has been migrated and to enable a transition customers will also receive a simple to-do list to ensure they’re up and running on their new software, supported by eLearning opportunities. 

As part of the migration experience, several additional datasets including the date rent is due and the amount to be charged, alongside management fee percentages will be migrated automatically - removing the need for a large amount of manual data entry. This will be alongside existing datasets including property and contact records, property media (including photos, floorplans, EPCs or any documents linked to a property), plus transactional data (offers, agreed offers, viewings and valuations) which are already transferred automatically. 

Simon Woodward, director of product at Zoopla, says: “Something we’ve heard time and time again from our customers is how labour intensive and daunting a process it can be moving software provider, particularly when it comes to the data migration element. This is why we’ve created an industry-leading experience that’s not only bespoke to agents and saves them tens of hours per agent when it comes to data migration, but also focuses on providing a smooth transition with minimal downtime and disruption to day to day operations.”
