Call Centers Losing Ground to Showing Automation

ClientSuccess Acquires Status to Merge the Worlds of Customer Success and Onboarding

TourZazz, the leading provider of mobile apps for managing home buyer showings, announced that agents surveyed in Austin prefer technology automation to call centers. Agents using the smart automation features share that setting, modifying, and booking showings is faster and easier without the hassle of back-and-forth phone calls.

“In today’s fast paced market, buyer agents are constantly coordinating tour adjustments and the process of calling a call center and waiting for them to get back to you is more trouble than it’s worth,” says Brian Copland with Realty Austin®. “It’s a lot easier to confirm or make other changes in the mobile app as necessary when I am out working with a client. Without the interruption of working with a call center, I save time and focus on my customers.”

A key feature of mobile apps is their ability to connect with features on the agent’s cell phone that make showing automation effective. This includes the integration of the agent’s calendar, the communication to other agents or customers via text and in-app messaging, and notifications that allow for timely confirmations.

TourZazz is releasing the seller functionality of their application in June. Like the current functionality, the seller features will include integration with the native mobile calendar, connection to the MLS for listing and showing data, and push notifications for confirmations to the buyer’s agent. Consumer notifications may be turned on by the agent.
