The second reason is the high cost
and inefficient methods of data transfer that exists today as well as the
requirement of your staff to do the bulk of the work. In fact the whole
concept of logging onto a Website and maintaining your data on this website is
a slow and a cumbersome process. Every year your computers gets faster and
faster and yet you are using 25.8k to 56k modem speeds when your computer
network typically runs at 10-100Mhz and your machines run at greater than
500Mhz. While you are online you are paying connection costs to a 3rd party
provider to upload files that are generally larger than they should be. It is
an inefficient way to do it and we have developed a better way.
What is required is for the Internet and the Desktop programs to be synchronised as
one when you need it. You should not have to be online more than a few minutes
to achieve your goal of uploading data. This could be described as ‘burst
mode’ transmission of your information to its destination which actually has
more detailed information about the Rental properties than ever before. You
will have better image resolution and at a smaller physical size than before.
Users can automatically see a Thumbnail image, a medium size image and a full
screen image at the click of a button and even print out all the information.
Your placement of data can remain active for a user defined set period for no
additional cost, and you can have the data from Desktop to the web in
typically less than 5 minutes and the Website is refreshed with new data every
4 hours. Where print media is updated once or twice a week the web site would
have been updated at least 30 times. Your prospective clients who register on
the rentalz site can receive automated Emails which links them directly to
properties that match their search criteria. The properties you upload can be
linked directly to you or your corporate Website. Whilst users are browsing
information they can even email property information with a photo to a friend
or users can check businesses, schools, hospitals and community events in the
local region.
Rentalz Publisher
[Screen Shot]
The ‘Rentalz Publisher’ is a desktop
application which speedily imports your property images, ONCE and automatically
creates the most optimum size and links them to your property. It even uses a
unique naming convention for your images and places them in its own image work
area, so your original image is left intact. This technology was custom
developed to get the best smallest and best picture size and the best
compression for Internet transfer. You can have up to three images per property
and the Website creates another 6 for you automatically. So you can have 3
images, which will available as small, medium and large. You can also type in up
to 20 x 64k of descriptive text per property.
You can select from 10 checkboxes for
each property which clarify aspects of the property at a glance. Items like
Smoke Alarm, Ground Floor, Parking, Balcony, Handicapped access, 3Phase power,
Car Wash etc for each property type which has its own 10 checkboxes. Everything
you could possibly think of is there and well researched. The ‘Rentalz
Publisher’ is a one-stop system for storing your available and past vacant
properties, which store all the images so, when you reactivate the property the
images are reactivated as well. You simple mark a property as ACTIVE or INACTIVE
at the ‘click’ of the mouse and all Active properties can be printed out via its
inbuilt reporting options.
You never have to prepare an ‘Available
Rental Property’ report again as they are designed to be handed out to your
tenants which further advertise your business and the site. There are also
‘Agents’ in-house reports which show the same reports with the addition of Key#
and the property Access details which may have available hours of entry or
contact telephone numbers.
In a world of hackers why would you
risk your data to a simple login and password to a website, but this is what you
have to do at other sites. Why pay all those online connect costs to upload
images and maintain data and at a slow speed, right? You do not have to visit
the website directly yourself, and you don’t have to Login, and you don’t need
to enter a Password, and you don’t have to logout. All of this is done
automatically by the ‘Publisher’ program at the press of ONE button, which
places the ‘Active’ properties onto the Website with Images. If a property
advertised is removed from the market, simply mark it as ‘Inactive’ and press
‘Publish’ again and it will be removed from the site. Simple and clean. The
program maintains a log on your desk, which shows when you uploaded and the time
taken. The website was designed so that in 3 clicks of the mouse you can find
the data you want. Simple ‘Click’ on a State, ‘Click’ on a Region and ‘Click’ -
SEARCH. It is as simple as that. You can click on a local map instead of Search
- this limits the search to this particular area only. All areas have local
maps, which have been customised to suit local geographical regions.
A user can register themselves and set
up custom search requirements and on any subsequent visit to the site click on
‘My Search’ and see the latest properties on offer. A user can also request
Email Alerts to be
sent each day for ‘NEW’ properties that match their search criteria. A user can
select ‘Search surrounding areas’ and properties within several kilometres are
also included. The potential tenant can print the property and they can read
information about the Lease, lodging a Bond and even print a report, which they
can mark off for themselves if looking at multiple properties. They can also
check the listing of local businesses in the area. There is NO MAINTENANCE by
the agent except to add their properties on the Desktop and mark, which are
‘Active’ and press ‘Publish’ when new or old properties need to be adjusted on
the Website. It is as simple as that.
The Rentalz Web site
www.rentalz.com.au is, as the name suggests,
a RENTALZ only site. It is a facility both for the speedy uploading of
Rental properties from the Desktop to the WEB and for prospective Tenants to
search for available properties. Properties can be Residential, Commercial,
Holiday, Bed n’ Breakfast, Marine, Venue Hire, Guest Houses, Ski accommodation
and others. It openly supports all major Real Estate groups and allows Agents to
enter their own individual or Corporate websites as a direct ‘link’ from their
properties. A lot of sites try to control the movement of the users directly and
make them only use the host provider’s services or internal websites.
www.rentalz.com.au is
a ‘central portal’ where many agents from many areas whether Franchise or
non-franchise, large or small can place their Rental properties quickly into the
open market. Prospective tenants or anybody generally enquiring about
availability now or in the future can see at glance what is available and make
contact with the Agents at the ‘click’ of a button. The site focuses on a
regional approach, with the firm belief that a prospective tenant is not
only renting a property but is in fact renting a community. To this end the site
aims to integrate properties with businesses, services, community organisations
and the like.
Rentalz Alert !
Rentalz Alert provides the
user with an easy & powerful way to keep informed of new properties
that match their search criteria. An email is sent daily either in HTML or text
only format if new properties have been added. Users can have an Alert sent for each
property group (residential, commercial, holiday etc). Clicking on the sent
email users can view the full & up-to-date property details on the
web.
