Alto unveils new ways for agents to keep track of updates

Agency software provider Alto has launched a new way for users to keep track about its latest product developments. 

The Zoopla-backed cloud-based software provider has launched a new Product Releases section for agents.

Easily accessible on the Alto website under “What’s new,” agents will be able to learn about the latest features and functionality. 

The website section collates all of Alto’s latest product developments in one place - be it product release notes that capture every change made to Alto, new partner integrations or bigger feature launches - which can be accessed via Alto Agenda. 

Improvements in Alto’s latest release notes include the ability to look up properties in Add a Market Appraisal or Property journey to find out more information such as current valuation, floor space and energy performance certificates.

Recent larger changes to the software include enhancements to Alto’s mobile functionality - which was the most highly requested feature by Alto customers and enables agents to operate much more flexibly when outside the office and attending viewings. 

Agents can now access keys and alarm codes on the mobile view of the appointment details page - while they can also now access full branch and colleague calendars. 

This lets them see appointment details for their colleagues across multiple branches  - provided they have access to their calendars - and they can also navigate from one day to the other. 

Commenting on the launch, Ric Dawson, vice president of software at Alto, said: “We’re releasing updates and new features every day and we want to keep our customers informed of this progress in a simple way. 

“By investing heavily in new, larger features as well as constantly improving what we’ve already built - we’re confident of further simplifying that day to day lives of our customers.”
