When it comes to technology, most multi-family builders have had a couple of options. Generic ERP and accounting systems that you try and make work. Or, building software designed for general contractors or commercial builders that you still have to try and make work for multi-family building. Neither option is ideal and that’s why 365HomeBuilder was built to give home builders a single cloud solution to manage nearly any model of home building from end to end—including the unique requirements of multi-family, multi-entity building.
While there are many advantages to 365HomeBuilder for multi-family builders, this article will focus on a few key ways our solution can help you be more efficient, competitive, and profitable.
Digital Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing are HUGE for multi-family builders. You have a lot of units to sell and to be profitable, your sales teams need tools that make it easy to market the properties, engage buyers, and drive demand—quickly and easily. And your buyers want a visual, personalized experience that saves them time, stress, and multiple trips to view properties and sign contracts.
365HomeBuilder, in collaboration with our industry partners, consolidates sales, marketing, purchasing, project management, document management, accounting, and more in one system. An integrated buyer portal lets sales teams and buyers work together digitally to tour properties, choose finishes and parking spaces, execute and attach photos and contracts, track deposits, and much more. This is the experience everyone wants in the modern age of home building.
From pre-launch events to warranty services, you can manage all aspects of multi-family transactions in a single solution.
