PropTech supplier mio says it now has over 1,000 agency branches using its sales progression platform – and it’s recruited Countrywide to issue a testimonial for the service.

The mio app provides a picture of the property chain, with each milestone being checked off as it is completed.

“We empower agents to quickly understand the status of each transaction in a chain by deploying updates from conveyancers, mortgage brokers and surveyors. Our sales progression process is really simple to follow, and the integrated consumer app ensures that it’s easy to manage communication with buyers and sellers. These features are all designed to make sales progression easier and faster so it’s no surprise that we’re seeing a strong increase in interest in mio as businesses plan for the future” according to Emma Vigus, mio’s managing director.

She says future enhancements to the service will focus on additional data on the platform to reduce re-keying by agents and improving connectivity between agents, mortgage brokers and conveyancers.

In testimonials issued by the company the managing director of Countrywide’s south west region, Stuart Lobb, says: “We have found the system of great benefit during these challenging times and we will continue to expand usage of mio as we emerge from lockdown”

And Matt Nicol, founder of Worcester-based Nicol & Co Estate Agents, says:“We are always trying to shorten the sales process and one of the key ways to do this is to provide better customer experience through streamlining our communication. With mio, we are able to offer clients an app that provides all the required information all in one place, in real-time, to keep them informed every step of the way, and an instant messaging feature so clients can message at a time convenient to them; this also saves us a lot of time without the need for so many calls and emails.”
