Here at North West Digital, we’ve been selling and leasing printers, photocopiers, faxes and scanners to the businesses of Manchester for over 30 years now, and we’ve seen a lot of different businesses of all shapes and sizes in that time, ranging across practically every industry and sector you can think of. And whilst we’ve never specifically targeted any one sector over any other, the funny thing is that we seem to have inadvertently managed to specialise in one or two areas along the way, and estate agency is one of them. 

 

A Happy Chance

 

Naturally, the real beauty of what we do here at NWD is that it’s of universal benefit to everyone; the products and services that we sell are applicable to anyone and everyone equally, so no matter what business you’re in, you will most likely benefit greatly from what we do. After all, much like anything in the realm of administration, it’s not industry specific; pretty much every business will have some level of document output, whether you print one document a week or thousands per day, so whatever your specialism, you probably still need office equipment of some sort.

 

That’s why we’ve never targeted our marketing to any one business sector; our sole purpose with all our products and services is to make your document management systems the most cost effective and profitable they can possibly be, so we don’t care what line of business you’re in, we just want to help. Yet, whether by a happy coincidence or thanks to word of mouth, we do seem to have managed to collect one or two specific sectors over the years, so much so that we’re now particularly expert in those fields and really do know our onions.

 

 

Last week, we told you about just one of those areas, that of the legal sector, but this week we’d like to talk to you about one of the others. So if you’re a Manchester based Estate Agent, or you’re in the business of buying, selling or renting property in the Greater Manchester area, you might want to sit up and pay attention, because NWD might just be the answer to all your document management woes.

 

The Burden of Paper

 

Much as in the legal sector, the business of running a successful estate agency or letting agency produces a lot of paperwork. From all those property specification brochures, to energy performance certificates to surveyor’s reports and more, the business of selling houses generates a whole world of printing and photocopying, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

 

And of course, on top of the sheer volume of paper generated, estate agents also need to consider the type of documents they’re producing too. Life in the property world has become much tougher in recent years, thanks to the numerous issues thrown up by the housing crisis and all the changes to legislation, not to mention the rise of online estate agents and the increased propensity for people to sell their houses themselves without engaging a real estate agent at all. All of this means that high street property agents have really had to raise their game in recent years to ensure they’re providing an effective service and giving good value for money.

 

 

All of that means that the brochures have to be glossier, the photos need to be plentiful and the supporting documentation needs to be thorough (and that’s just for starters), which in turn of course means more printing, photocopying, scanning and faxing of documents backwards and forwards, not to mention all the filing and document management that’s then required. That’s a lot of paper to keep track of.

 

Let Us Help

 

But there’s no need to despair! Thanks to our many years of expertise in this area – and the cutting edge technology at our fingertips – we’ve got one or two tricks up our sleeve to help save estate agents a small fortune on these ever increasing costs.

 

On the one hand, our top-of-the-range machines and multifunction devices could revolutionise your office, allowing you to print professional quality colour brochures with glossy photos instantly, without the need to engage costly print companies. Similarly, with ultra-fast machines that can print, copy and scan at high speeds and in high volumes, you’ll be able to speed up that workload and increase the productivity of your staff, all whilst making massive savings on the cost of consumables and energy consumption.

 

 

Moreover, thanks to our new software programs, such as Filestar and Papercut, we could help streamline all your office administration tasks in one fell swoop, freeing up your staff to concentrate on what’s important and making your entire enterprise more productive and much more profitable. Honestly, it sounds like a sales pitch, but just think what you could achieve if your staff were spending their time selling houses, rather than filing documents and sorting out paperwork?!
