Exceleras released an update to its DispoSolutions software that aims to increase the ability of users to collaborate and to accelerate the property disposition process. It was released as part of the company’s regular software improvement program.
“We have long had the ability for users to send ‘notes’ or messages to each other in our system, but our latest release makes interaction much more powerful,” CEO Tom Simon said in a release. “The new enhanced version allows users to reply to notes, forward notes, send notes to multiple recipients, find recipients quickly by partially typing in their name, and add an optional subject to the message. Through this new functionality, our platform fosters collaboration making it easier for teams to work together.”
In the new conversational view, the notes functionality mimics a social network, organizing the notes into an expandable and collapsible hierarchy. This allows users to follow the thread of messages starting with the original message at the top of the hierarchy, and then drill down to see each person’s reply or whether they forwarded the message, and then all future commentary. Alternatively, they can collapse all but the notes important to them and their work.
The update also includes a new alerts feature that can be used to update an entire team by placing notices on all of the major pages in the system, regardless of what property a user is viewing. Instead of driving users back to their own action lists, they can respond to the event without leaving their current page on the platform. Once the issue has been addressed, the user can return to where they were previously.
“New workflows our clients are using today are more fluid than they were in the past and we needed to add functionality that would allow users to stay in touch with their teams and respond to important events without going back to the beginning of a specific workflow,” Exeleras Chief Architect Phil Gore said. “By updating our platform to allow our users to operate their businesses in the ways that are most efficient for them, we are improving their experience, reducing the time it takes to complete their work and thereby reducing their costs.”
