Inventorybase – ‘We’re so much more than software’
In her own words Sian Hemming Metcalfe Operations Director at Inventorybase & Property Inspect UK recently explained to Jason Lee MNAEA FNAVA Head of Commercial for Propertymark, exactly why so many people are now using their services.
‘So I’m Sian. I’m from Inventorybase. Which is a software service, or as some people refer to as a SAAS, which I quite like software as a service, and what we do is we provide you the tools to be efficient doing your property inspections, your reports, your risk assessments, anything that is report related to either as a letting agent or as an estate agent. So that’s the broad outline.
The best bit, from our point of view is the fact that we give you back your time. We take away a lot of those inefficiencies that administration tasks generate. We take away a lot of that heavy lifting so you can get on and build your pipeline, get your clients in through the door, do the job that you absolutely excel at, list and let property, sell those properties, and our system will take that information, help you capture it, help you do it either in the field or back at the desktop. Giving you real time data and information and reports that you can rely on and also build on.
What makes Inventorybase standout in the industry space is we don’t just give you the software
‘We’re so much more than software.’ We are thinking about what the impact is having on the industry, of all the different things that happen at the moment, we’ve got a new government, we’ve got rental reform; we’ve got decent home standards coming through. A whole raft of new legislation, from The King’s Speech, and over 35 different bits of legal and legislation. Stuff that you know from an agent point of view, you’ve got to deal with, got to manage and you’ve got to put into practice and figure it out.
What makes us different is we’re already doing that with you. We’re side by side with you, we are there helping you understand it. I’m already thinking about, well, how can we help implement strategies to make sure that all your properties on your portfolio are decent, and that your landlords are keeping both themselves compliant and you are compliant.
We are industry experts. I’ve been in the industry for over 12-years. I’ve run my own inventory company. I understand reports. I understand risk assessments for my time working with Her Majesty’s prisons. We’ve got an estate agent with 30-years’ experience working in our sales team. We understand the industry. We don’t give you loads of Oh, you know, that sounds good! or that sounds difficult. We’ve been in our client’s shoes we know what it’s like.
What we give you then is not just the software, but our abilities, our understanding of the profession and also where the impacts are. We de-risk our clients operations, with workflows that solve the never ending new changes in the industry. I’m already looking to how to build them out of your everyday working life. So again, you can concentrate on your pipeline, and that’s what makes us different. And we also train agents as well.
We train property professionals to do inventories and risk assessments and reports and get them really understanding exactly how these should be given over to all your different stakeholders, that everybody’s compliant and everybody’s safe, and that’s the key thing here.

Latest special offers for new clients
Well, we have our normal offer, which sits on the Propertymark industry supplier platform. But for today, I want to give you something a little bit different, a little bit off the feet, you know, off the beaten track, as it were, so for everybody that signs up with a fee paid account, by the 31st of August, we are going to be offering a free serum integrations on a two year contract, Free Self Service and live inspections for the length of that contract.
We’re going to help you build your templates, up to three templates going to help you build it, set it up, get it all function exactly how you want it, so you get your best foot forward when it comes to your clients and your reporting and all that is going to be assisted and that configuration and account set up, all that’s going to be handheld with our Senior and account managers.
And if you get those signatures on the contracts by the end of August the bonus for that will be 50 import credits for supported PDFs. So that’s your input. Choose your checkers, bring those into your accounts, maybe you’re coming from a different system, and put that in.
So we can help you do that. And that’s worth up to £250 and also 100 SMS credit so you can start talking and letting your clients know when you’re going to be visiting, when you’re going to be booking those interim inspection visits. And all of this comes with a dedicated account manager so you have a single person of contact so they know who you are, what you need, how you like things, and getting them done for you.’
