Digital Transformation Makes Work Easier

The shift in conveyancing from paper-based processes to digital platforms is not just about keeping up - it's about gaining flexibility, efficiency, and a competitive edge and the landscape is changing very quickly. 

We recently had a chat with Dale Wood, the Director of Morphett Vale Conveyancing, who shared his valuable insights on this evolution.

“We’re becoming a much more digital profession,” he said. “This not only gives conveyancers flexibility to work remotely, but also makes it easier to keep up with the times. 

Dale believes that the digital transformation of conveyancing, is set to revolutionise property transactions - not only in South Australia but nationally.

Here are his top pieces of advice in how to find a technology partner that will support you through the transformation.

1. It’s All About the Features 

Dale knew his firm needed to embrace a digital future to stay ahead. He decided to switch to Realtime because the platform offered more features than his previous software provider. The ability to work from a single, integrated platform was a huge selling point, especially for a business that needed to be agile and adaptable.

2.  Look for a Partner, Not Just a Provider

Dale highlighted the importance of having great support when you’re going through a technology change. The stronger the customer support, the more it will feel like you’re working with a partner, not just a software provider, he said. 

3. Embrace Efficiency to Reduce Paper

One of the biggest changes for Morphett Vale Conveyancing has been the move towards a paperless office. This is not only a goal that makes the business more efficient but promises  an exciting change for the future. If you’re also looking for ways to reduce and remove paper, Dale recommends streamlining your processes first to improve overall business efficiency. With the right software providing you with transparency about where you are in the process, this becomes so much easier. 

4. Expect Unexpected Wins

Dale's team has seen immediate benefits from the move to Realtime with post-settlement processing now much faster and easier. Closing files is more streamlined, and from a management perspective, he can easily track the progress of files, ensuring nothing gets missed. This provides peace of mind and frees up valuable time for his team.

Digital transformation is an exciting evolution that gives conveyancers the flexibility to work remotely and makes their profession more efficient. Dale’s experience shows that embracing this change with a like-minded and reliable technology partner can make a world of difference to how you run your business.
