We spoke with Reed Wilson<\/a>, owner, principal broker, and coach at The Wilson Group, about his experience with Paperless Pipeline. Here\u2019s what he had to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Did The Wilson Group Leave Paperless Pipeline?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For over 10 years, The Wilson Group used Paperless Pipeline to manage transactions efficiently. However, as the brokerage grew, Reed sought a solution with more built-in features, particularly one that could handle accounting operations in addition to transaction management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three months into using the new platform, Reed realized that it just wasn\u2019t working for his brokerage. \u201cThe word I use is clunky,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was very challenging to navigate from a transaction point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reed was looking for simple reporting and the ability to find documents at the push of a button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wanted to be able to see upcoming transactions each month so that he could determine his company income. He found the software they were using was far too complex to pull quick reports and find what he needed fast enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I need as a broker to lead my team,\u201d he says. \u201cTo show where we\u2019re doing great, where the gaps are, and so forth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before switching back to Paperless Pipeline, Reed interviewed his team about their current software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spoke to several of his agents and admins about which system they preferred, and they made it clear that they much preferred the ease of use, organization, and detailed reports our software provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paperless Pipeline Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The transition back to Paperless Pipeline wasn\u2019t without its challenges. Because their new platform lacked unlimited backups, transactions had to be manually transferred. However, Reed and his team knew the effort would be worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe team buy-in was amazing; they were ready for it,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though he had to resume using separate accounting software, Reed believes the investment is justified: \u201cEven though my expense is higher now, the headache is gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says that Paperless Pipeline was the only solution he considered when he realized it was time to leave the software the brokerage had switched to. \u201cLet me go back to what I know works,\u201d he thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Reed Tells Other Brokerages and Agents about Paperless Pipeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reed coaches other brokers and agents and often tells them about Paperless Pipeline in the process\u2014simply because he finds our software so helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explains that the systems brokers use should be focused on transactions. \u201cThe bulk of the system is meant to manage transactions; it\u2019s our filing cabinet,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paperless Pipeline is invaluable to Reed\u2019s team because everything is available at the click of a button, from storing documents and reference tabs to robust reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer various reports to assist brokers in staying informed and up-to-date with what\u2019s happening within their business, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
