How Centris improved employee retention and customer satisfaction with our solution

Over the past decade, there have been many new technologies which have revolutionized our daily lives. Sooner or later, companies will need to modernise themselves in order to stay competitive and satisfy the changing behaviour of consumers. In fact, this is even more true for compagnies offering technological tools. This reality rang true for Centris, who we had the pleasure of accompanying in their digital transformation. As a matter of fact, this company which offers the most extensive range of services and applications to Quebec’s real estate industry, has radically modernized their processes. As a result, Centris has increased their productivity and offer greater value to their clients. Overview of this digital transformation:

Specialized in services to real estate agents

Have you ever been online to shop for a property? If so, chances are you have already visited centris.ca. But Centris offers many other services. On a broader scale, this technology company specializes in providing state of the art services and applications to all brokers of Quebec. As a matter of fact, Centris provides over twenty tools to 13000 real estate professionals throughout the province. These services and software allow real estate professionals to create reports and sign forms electronically.

An obsolete system and difficult data management

What was the situation at Centris? The initial concern that preoccupied their team, was that the management system had become obsolete. Unchanged for 10 years, this system was unable to adapt to the growing needs of the company. For example, several data changes for instance had to be made manually and this added to the administrative burden. In addition to irritating employees, this increased the risk of making errors and made information management a difficult task. Therefore, Centris had the following goals in mind:

Modify the structure of applications adapting them to the new reality of the business
Improve the overall view of its activities and services
Centralize information to improve the services of the support center
Reduce the time dedicated to administrative tasks
Lower the risk of making mistakes in data entry
Migrate towards Microsoft Dynamics 365 and shift over to the cloud

A solution designed by XRM Vision

XRM Vision supported Centris in the design and implementation of its modernization. Since their shift to the cloud, Centris has gained efficiency and reduced costs. Paper has been eliminated and processes have all been automated. As a result, up to 60 employees can now connect to the management system everyday and respond to inquiries and hundreds of incoming calls from member brokers.

Shorter call handling times in support centers increase broker satisfaction
Electronic invoicing processes significantly reduces delays
Significant increase in employee satisfaction and productivity
Improving employee retention and customer satisfaction
