Streamlining the Reservation Process: How ContactBuilder Speeds Up Sales with Digital Shortcuts
In today’s fast-paced housing market, the ability to quickly and efficiently manage reservations is crucial for housebuilders. As the longest-standing and leading housebuilder management solution, ContactBuilder has been at the forefront of transforming the reservation process for over 15 years. By embracing digital shortcuts like e-signing, online payments, and automated workflows, ContactBuilder has made it easier than ever to secure sales.
The reservation process can be a time-consuming task, involving lots of paperwork and manual tracking which can lead to delays. Today’s prospective buyers expect convenience and speed, and any friction during the process can lead to lost opportunities.
ContactBuilder: A Solution Designed for Speed and Efficiency
ContactBuilder is designed to meet these challenges head-on, providing a comprehensive platform that simplifies and accelerates every stage of the reservation process. Here's how it works:
E-Signing Capabilities
Gone are the days of chasing down physical signatures or waiting for documents to be posted. ContactBuilder’s e-signing integration allows buyers to sign documents digitally, from any internet-enabled device, at any time. This not only speeds up the process but also ensures that all paperwork is stored securely and is easily accessible for future reference. As most of the information is auto populated to the reservation form, there is also less chance of any errors being made.
Online Payments
One of the most significant hurdles in the reservation process is the handling of deposits and payments. ContactBuilder’s integrations with leading industry names such as Stripe, Opayo and Worldpay, enables purchasers to complete transactions instantly and securely. By removing the need for manual bank transfers or in-person payments, ContactBuilder ensures that reservations can be finalised without delay.
Automated Customer Journey
The reservation process is just one part of the buyer’s journey, and ensuring seamless communication throughout this journey is key to maintaining momentum. ContactBuilder’s automated customer journey module keeps prospective buyers informed every step of the way, with timely emails and updates. This automation reduces the administrative burden on sales teams and ensures that no buyer is left in the dark.
Reservation and Sales Progression Tracking
ContactBuilder provides comprehensive reservation and sales progression tracking, allowing your sales teams to monitor the status of each reservation in real-time. This level of visibility ensures that any potential issues can be identified and addressed quickly, minimising delays and keeping the process moving forward smoothly.
Fully Integrated System
What sets ContactBuilder apart is its ability to integrate all of these digital shortcuts into one cohesive platform, rather than relying on multiple disconnected systems. This means you can manage everything from initial contact to final sale and even aftercare within ContactBuilder. These integrations not only save time but also reduce the risk of errors and ensure a pleasant experience for the purchaser.
