Alto reveals ‘next generation’ of lettings progression – and it’s a free upgrade for existing customers

Alto, the market-leading software for estate agents and part of Houseful, has revealed further information about the improvements being rolled out in 2024 to drive a step change in business efficiency for letting agents.

Leading the way is a brand new Lettings Progression functionality which will roll out in the first half of 2024. The new functionality will be an intuitive workflow to speed up and simplify the onboarding of new tenants.

This new feature will enable tenants to easily access the tasks assigned to them to activate a letting such as signing documents, paying deposits and ensuring their details are up-to-date.

Even better for Alto customers – this upgraded Lettings Progression platform and the integrated eSign capability will be free for all letting agents using Alto’s core software offering.

Many software providers charge extra for these capabilities and this investment underlines why Alto is the platform of choice for agents looking to drive efficiency with a partner focused on driving long-term value. Agents can find out more here.

Other changes coming to Alto this year include a market-leading sales progression experience, that integrates agents and conveyancers, for a faster, less frustrating and more profitable transaction, in addition to new reporting dashboards that are unique to the user and can help them identify where they should focus their time e.g. on a particular vendor, applicant or transaction.

Alto is also investing in functionality to help agents prepare for valuations. Winning instructions is a critical part of an agent’s ‘day to day’ and Alto is committed to being at the core of supporting an agent’s success in this space.

The newly launched property valuation tool provides agents with insights and information on both the property and the surrounding area. Agents will also be able to access this information while out and about via Alto’s ‘on the go’ offering.

Finally, our already market-leading property management and client accounting functionality will be receiving a usability upgrade based on a recent round of specific user feedback.

Riccardo Iannucci-Dawson, Chief Operating Officer at Alto comments: “We’re very excited to share visibility of our product roadmap for 2024 following direct conversations with our customers about the biggest areas for improvement in the Alto software.

“We’re investing heavily this year to dramatically improve our core functionality, improve Alto’s UX and also add a raft of new features that our users have voted for.”
