Upgrades are in the works, and How You Can Help

March 21, 2018 — relocationspecialist411

As you have noticed the ReloSpec Main Menu page has changed with the addition of a simple menu bar.  The design change for the main menu page is temporary as we gear up for a complete overhaul.  Expect ReloSpec to not only look clean and modern but it will be easier to use and much more efficient.

We’re very excited for the upgrades that are planned.  And, that is where you come in!  We want your ideas and suggestions for ReloSpec.  We will be addressing the Client List page first.  That is where many of you spend most of your time and we want to make your ReloSpec experience much better.

We have separated the page into four sections which we’ll identify today.  They are the ‘At-A-Glance’ section at the top of the page, the Quick Reference links on the left side of the page, the navigation buttons above the grid and the grid itself where the referral records are displayed.

The At-A-Glance section is one we’ll address first.  Our thought is to remove it from the page.  Some of the links currently there would be either displayed on the Main Menu page or be available on the new menu bar or removed altogether.  We want to know if you regularly use the At-A-Glance box.  If so, what features do you like and which ones are not necessary?

We have a short survey (2 questions + comments) we want you to take to provide your feedback.  Here’s the link.

In future blogs we’ll address the other sections.  Here’s a preview of what we’re thinking.  You’ll be given a chance to share your ideas in future short surveys.  The Quick Reference links  and the navigation buttons will be removed from the left side of the page and replaced by a convenient menu bar.  The grid will be where the bulk of the changes will appear with clean, tabbed pages.  More coming soon!

Meeting with Real Estate Digital (R.E.D.)

March 14, 2018 — relocationspecialist411

We had a great meeting with our Constellation Software partner, Real Estate Digital (R.E.D.) yesterday.   We are looking at ways to integrate more sources into ReloSpec and would like your input.

As you may know ReloSpec can receive leads from LeadingRE’s Xchange, certain broker’s websites, broker-to-broker referrals and a few other sources.

Which lead sources would help you by integrating with Relocation Specialist (ReloSpec)?

Let us know, by going here.

Main Menu Page Gets A Facelift

March 2, 2018 — relocationspecialist411

You will soon notice that the ReloSpec Main Menu page has a new look.  With the help of the Constellation Web Solutions team, the page is now more up-to-date.  The old icons are gone and a new menu bar has been added at the top. This is a brief preview of future changes that are planned for other ReloSpec pages.  

Over the next few months we’ll begin with the most-used pages and continue from there.  Not only will there be a new look, but we’re very excited about new easy-to-use features that are planned.

NOTE: For those of your using Internet Explorer (IE) in ‘Compatibility Mode’ you may find it necessary to use the link at the bottom of the page to change back to the ‘Classic Version’ of the page.  We will not be programming for Compatibility View for future ReloSpec pages.  If you use IE in Compatibility Mode, and you want to view the new page, do the following:  1) Click the gear in the upper-right of the page, 2) Click ‘Compatibility View settings’ and 3) Remove the entry for “ReloSpecCloud.com”

We’re Just Getting Started (again!)

November 30, 2017 — relocationspecialist411

As was announced last week, Constellation Web Solutions (CWS) has purchased Relocation Specialist (ReloSpec).  We are all very excited to be a part of the CWS family of real estate-related products and look forward to improvements and new features coming soon to ReloSpec.

As we are just now getting started, here are a few of the things we’re working on:

  • Email to Responses;  this new feature will automatically insert email replies to the ReloSpec Responses table.  Emails sent from ReloSpec will include the database name and referral ID.  When the recipient clicks REPLY and sends the email, it will be forwarded to a ReloSpec server that will extract the email content and insert it into the Responses page.  That way, the user avoids copying/pasting the email content into the referral record.
  • ReloSpec Facelift; Don’t we all want to get things done faster, be easier-to-use and look better?  Watch for a more updated ‘look’ with easier to use features.  We think you’ll appreciate the modern look and love the time-saving features.
  • ReloSpec 1-click with Express pages;  Okay, this one isn’t new, but if you’re not using the ‘Express’ forms on the Main Menu page you should be.  Why?  Because all you do is open the page, fill-in the fields and SUBMIT.  The Action Plan and AutoPilots are automatically run for you and if it’s an ‘Outgoing’ record and the receiving broker has ReloSpec it sends a copy of the record to their Import table!  Quick and easy!
  • FORMS and REPORTS rehab;  We all know there are too many forms and too many reports.  We are in the process of identifying the most-used ones so we can consolidate what we have while providing what you need.
  • Agent Access;  Did you know you can assign an ID/Password to your agents and they can then login, view only their own records in Read-Only mode?  They can send updates on specific referrals, submit new ones and even update their own profile information like phone and email address.  You may assign as many as you like and you may remove access to agent(s) as needed.

 

What about you?  What specific items/features would you like in ReloSpec?  We want to hear your ideas and suggestions.  We have set up a quick survey with a few of the items often mentioned.  Please take a couple minutes to complete the survey or  you can forward your responses to Jim (jevans@prosws.com) or Sue (sue@prosws.com).
