Yesterday, we took a look at the first of two intranet solutions for brokerages. Today, we're highlighting WOLFconnect, an intranet and "front office" platform from our 2017-18 Technology Guide.
WOLFconnect is part of Lone Wolf's Complete Enterprise Solution, a full service brokerage platform that includes back office, accounting, website management, transaction management, and more. While WOLFconnect can stand alone, it is arguably more powerful when connected to the rest of the suite.
WOLFconnect itself is a modular solution that offers five different modules that brokerages can purchase as suits their needs:
The connectivity provided by the internet, mobile apps, and cloud-based software has made it possible for agents to never really need to come into the office. While wonderfully convenient, it can leave your agents feeling disconnected to your company and diminish the sense of community. If you're looking to remedy these issues--especially if your firm already uses other Lone Wolf products--WOLFconnect may be the intranet solution for you.
On the flip side, if you're looking to run a completely virtual brokerage with no physical office and minimal overhead, WOLFconnect is a powerful tool, as broker Corey Kammerdiener can attest. In an exclusive profile, we showed how Kammerdiener uses WOLFconnect to operate a fully virtual brokerage.
Brokers with multiple offices can even use WOLFconnect to reduce staffing fluctuations caused by seasonal changes in sales volume. "Because everything's online and everybody understands how to do it, each of my staff can help another office at any time without physically having to go to that location," said Theresa Powers, Director of Operations for RE/MAX Professionals in Lakewood, Colorado during a 2015 interview. "If we have one office that's in a lull for that week, staff members are able to help another office while still functioning in their office."
Now that you've learned more about both WOLFconnect and DASH! By Clareity, which one is best for your company?
Like we said, if you already use other Lone Wolf solutions, especially brokerWOLF, WOLFconnect is an excellent choice. If you're not exactly sure which intranet features you need, WOLFconnect's modular design makes it easy to scale your front office offerings up or down.
If you're looking for a leaner solution, DASH! is a great choice, especially if one of your goals is to increase agent adoption of the tools you offer or to foster intra-office communication. Because it's connected to the MLS SSO dashboard in most markets, DASH! is also highly visible to agents.
What's best for you? Only you can know for sure!
