“I am concerned about …”
Have some concerns? You’re not the only one! Many businesses are hesitant to use software due to concerns about complexity, lack of transition support, and integration.
- Ease of use: At CloseSimple, we often say, “If it’s not simple, we named it wrong.” Simplicity is at the core of our product. Our goal is to make our customers’ lives easier, so we designed our product with ease in mind. The CloseSimple portal allows users to see everything in one place, making it extremely user friendly.
- Training & Support: When implementing with CloseSimple, our customers receive training and guidance to assure a seamless transition. If you aren’t succeeding, then neither are we. Our team set you up for success and is eager to answer any questions along the way.
- Integration: CloseSimple integrates with SoftPro, Ramquest, ResWare, and Greenfolders. Camille White, one of our customers, said “Because it's integrated into RamQuest, as soon as we finish funding a loan and we click a button to print our checks, an automated email goes out. It helps us make sure things aren't falling through the cracks.” 
The Bottom Line: Benefits
No matter how great the software is or seamless the transition is, your team will only use the software if it benefits them. So, what’s in it for you and your team? Let’s take a look.
- Increased Efficiency
CloseSimple helps streamline processes, reduce manual work, and increase productivity. Kati Cumberland, title professional at Title Group of Tennessee, says, “In the title business, you're constantly putting out fires. CloseSimple gives us more time to focus on the million other things we're dealing with.”
- Accuracy
With the CloseSimple automations, title agents no longer have to worry about missing something. You can rest assured that all the right documents are going out at the right time. “It's really revolutionized how we communicate with all of our clients,” Kati says. “We just do our thing, and CloseSimple does its thing, and people are constantly getting updates. I mean, I don't really think there's a better way.”
- Saves Time
Our customers no longer spend hours and hours communicating, as CloseSimple does it for them. With less time spent communicating, our customers now have time to focus on more strategic tasks. “We’re giving our customers the information they need before they even know to ask for it,” says Camille, a customer of CloseSimple. This makes her team look—and feel—amazing, with a lot less busywork.
