Construction and Real Estate

Effectively managing the construction process is critical to the performance of builders and developers. But, are you tired of trying to piecemeal together systems to support your business? NovaPoint Group has solutions that can help. We've worked in the construction and real estate industries so we have first-hand knowledge how inflexible and expensive many of the existing solutions like Sage/Timberline can be. Yet, they only support a small portion of your overall business operations.

We have a better way to operate and run your business that can make a difference to the bottom line. We've leveraged the robust and integrated capabilities of OpenERP to offer a robust solution at a lower cost. Plus, you aren't held hostage by proprietary software vendors.

Listed below are some of the options available:

Developer/Builder Sales Pipeline Systems

The business problem: You have multiple real estate communities you're developing, and you need to coordinate data to capture community activity and support future marketing efforts. Your existing system is manual, and offers no real method to easily streamline your marketing, measure your activity, and causes a tremendous amount of rework. You have no real way to measure the performance of your onsite staff - based on lead conversion and sales.

Our Solution: By leveraging the CRM capabilities of OpenERP you can now capture visitors to your developments, identify the key influencers (e.g. real estate agents/brokers who are bringing you traffic), and follow up with prospects to convert them to customers in a timely manner.

• Information is entered one time - avoiding costly rekeying.
• Managers are able to review robust reporting.
• You are able to monitor and track associate performance.
• You are able to identify key influencers and partner that help build your business.
• You avoid costly non-integrated solutions.
• You easily deploy the system to new locations through browser or client applications.
• Direct mail and email marketing is integrated into the system.
