Running an Estate or Letting Agency and continually being let down by technology?

Are IT Headaches Slowing Your Agency Down?
For many agencies, the daily reality of working with their technology is a series of frustrating roadblocks. Does any of this sound familiar?
The PropTech Integration Gap
Perhaps you have a central CRM such as Reapit or Alto, but it doesn’t communicate with your marketing tools, accounting software, e-signature tools or any of the other apps you use. You are not alone, in fact, two-thirds of agents say their top technology gripe is a lack of integrated systems. Teams have to enter information manually, and clients get a disjointed experience.
We connect these tools in one ecosystem, saving your agents hours each week, minimising mistakes, and delivering a seamless experience for your clients.
Constant Downtime and Mobile Challenges
The property market doesn’t stop at 5 PM, and an IT outage on a Saturday morning or during evening negotiations is a disaster. And what’s more, your agents are always on the move and need fast, secure access to their files and CRM. If their mobile tech is unreliable, your entire operation suffers.
The Heavy Burden of Compliance and Security
On top of the daily operational issues, there are also the board-level risks you can’t ignore. Managing compliance and security has become a critical and stressful part of running an agency.
UK GDPR and Financial Sanctions
Your agency handles a huge amount of sensitive client data, making you responsible under UK GDPR, and a single data breach could lead to fines of up to £17.5 million.
From May 2025, you are now also legally required to run financial sanctions checks on all tenants and landlords. That is why our IT support helps automate and securely store these AML and KYC checks, ensuring you are fully audit-ready without adding to your administrative burden.
The Constant Threat of Cybercrime
Your agency is a prime target for cybercrime because you handle large transactions, and these risks are very real:
- Payment Diversion Fraud: A compromised email account could trick a client into sending their deposit to a scammer.
- Ransomware: One wrong click could lock up your entire client database, paralysing your business.
