Common Pain Points in Real Estate Signage (and How SignTraker Fixes Them)
Managing real estate signage presents several challenges for professionals in the industry. Issues such as inefficient inventory tracking, scheduling conflicts, and lack of real-time communication can hinder operations and impact client satisfaction. Implementing a comprehensive management system like SignTraker can effectively address these pain points, streamlining processes and enhancing overall efficiency.
Lack of Real-Time Inventory Tracking
One significant challenge is the lack of real-time inventory management. Without an organized system, it’s easy to lose track of sign locations, leading to misplaced or unavailable signage. SignTraker addresses this by assigning a unique model and serial number to each sign panel and rider, lockbox, and accessory item (directional signs, solar lights, etc.) allowing for precise tracking from storage to installation sites. This ensures that signs are always accounted for and readily available when needed. Agent will always have current, up-to-date reports of what items are in stock and available for use. Damaged and lost items are accounted for, minimizing delays looking for items that are no longer available.
Scheduling Conflicts and Installation Delays
Scheduling and coordinating sign installations can also be problematic, often resulting in delays or missed appointments. SignTraker offers flexible scheduling and management options, enabling efficient planning and execution of installations. The platform’s point-and-click flexibility allows for easy adjustments, ensuring that installations are completed promptly and correctly. SignTraker’s advanced scheduling workflows include and account for
• Days-of-week availability by region
• Holidays and weekends
• Integrated sign printing: SignTraker manages the web-to-print orders, releasing installations when the prints are ready
• Utility marking (“Miss Utility”) submissions
• Customer order approval processes: SignTraker holds designated orders for approval by customer management
• Customized installation, removal, and service lead times, including your specified order cut-off times.
Improving Communication and Service Efficiency
Effective communication between real estate professionals and sign service providers is crucial for successful operations. SignTraker enhances this by providing a user-friendly, branded mobile app that facilitates seamless interaction. SignTraker’s standard library of over 55 customizable emails ensures that all parties are informed and aligned, reducing misunderstandings and improving service delivery. Emails are delivered in your brand (not “noreply@whatever.com”) so customer questions can easily be directed back to you to minimize phone calls and customer frustration.
