If you want to know what excellent looks like talk to CEO Steve Rad
It is not an industry secret that I definitely have favourites when it comes to property technology companies and their founders, and a large number of them are not even my direct clients. But I must give full disclosure that Steve & James the co-founders of Inventory Base who were my second ever original clients rarely actually talk about what they do, as of course it is second nature to them. So for any new generation potential clients, I am going to focus on one small part of what they offer, specifically how they help Inventory Clerks and Property Managers be more productive and profitable.
Inventory Clerks
Multi-award winning Inventory Base is the residential industry’s premier option for effective and easy-to-use inventory and property software. Inventory Clerks use it to produce professional inventory reports, complete check ins, periodic inspections, property visits, maintenance reports, and Health/Fire & Safety Inspections. Also for Legionella risk assessments, HMO audits / block management reports, commercial building inspections and short term let/vacation rentals, and managing the check out process.
Software specifically designed for getting the job done accurately at speed
Steve Rad, CEO and Co-founder of Inventory Base with (James Taylor), comments that ‘Professional Inventory Clerks and Property Managers love Inventory Base for the ability to work to their own level of detail and standards, generating robust, evidence-rich and professional reports in a fraction of the time.
It means they can combine hybrid in-house reporting with the flexibility to work with external suppliers, or assign reports to clients and tenants to complete using our innovative self-service and Live Inspections features. With a live dashboard, auto-generated audit trails and instant notifications, Inventory Base is designed to work out in the field or back at the desk with no service interruptions or downtime.’
The choice of Inventory Professionals
Inventory Base equips Clerks with all the tools needed to complete evidence-rich and detailed property reports in a fraction of the time while streamlining administration and enhancing client communications and support. With custom built and bespoke templates, inventory professionals get more reports done faster across a growing range of clients including letting agents, landlords, tenants and property managers.
Specifically providing digital tools for Inventory Professionals to:
Manage diaries across all teams to streamline resources and increase revenue, provide client logins for direct bookings, report access and information share, customise reports and price lists on a per-client basis, set up internal checklists and prompts to ensure compliance across all reports and customise terminology and auto-text suggestions with industry specific dictionaries.
Also tools to auto-embed high quality photos, 360° pictures and video direct into reports, customise pre-defined templates for all types of property and risk assessment reports, create detailed audio dictations in app for self or third party transcription, deliver and track signed reports to clients and tenants on site or at the desktop. With tenants, landlord or third party comments enabled and tracked to provide additional evidence and minimise disputes.
Live Dashboard giving complete oversight
The live and powerful inspection dashboard helps professionals to view activity across all accounts, automate administrative tasks, supporting vital communication between team members and contractors. Making operations more efficient and effective as the streamlined workflows and live data feeds directly into every task, report and service options.
With a live timeline of events, notifications including property history and alerts, Inventory Clerks instantly know when something happens and can access summaries of past, current and outstanding jobs. Plus they can track the progress of their team and clients. Creating a more effective workflow across their own user base. With the ability for clients to book through their own account, schedule, change and review appointments in advance and download completed reports.
Produce Professional Inventory Reports time after time
Inventorybase software reduces the time spent creating professional property reports, as it utilises a paperless online report delivery so Clerks have their own professionally branded reports. With an extensive library of pre-built and bespoke templates they can get up and running quickly or use our custom blocks and features to design reports to suit their service type and client base. Or corporate style reports can be built into the workflow.
Live Inspections
With their secure Inventory Base App owners can remotely access property or enable tenants to conduct their own inspection through Live Streamed or Self-Assessment reports. So users can submit data back to your desktop in real-time for Clerks & Property Managers to review and troubleshoot. With Live Inspections, you can get more done, in a fraction of the time.
360 Tours and Videos
This Inventory Base feature means that Clerks can automatically display 360° photos and videos within their web reports to enhance their evidence and create professional reports. With a media gallery that allows users to interact with panoramic views to provide the ultimate property report.
Closing thoughts
In my day job over many years I have met founders running software companies who supply services to solve problems in a variety of real estate verticals. The tiny handful that deliver a quality service to their paying clients do so because they have been doing it for a long time. They have invested and re-invested to make sure they have the best products and services, but most of all they truly understand the pain points of those working in the front line, and want to help them.
Steve Rad, James Taylor, Sian Hemming Metcalfe, and the rest of the big Inventory Base family definitely are the listening ear to the Lettings industry supplying Grade One software to power operations at a time where every single pound counts.
