So what were the challenges faced by the Puravankara group?

Lead Generation

A lot of nitty-gritty goes into the process of lead generation solely, and it also takes time to figure out what Puravankara Ltd has on the table and what the client is searching for. Without the help of automated pre-qualified lead generation, the agents have to spend a lot of time calling dummy numbers, this not just waste the clients’ time also agents’.

Repetitive Engagements              

The majority set of home and commercial buyers have a standard set of questions like inquiries about space, construction, technology, prices, etc. that can be easily automated with the help of an AI solution. Puravankara was facing the same problem, having to deploy an insane number of agents to help their clientage with basic queries that could be easily automated.

Multiple Client’s Touch Point

Another issue that came forward with our discussion with Puravankara is that the customers usually connect with them on the platform they prefer, making it impossible for agents to keep a track of all communication going around on multiple platforms.

Even with CRMs, most of the conversations with clients are saved in silos, making it difficult for another agent to take over the project in a jiffy.

Poor Turn-Around Time(TATs)

High-touch and high-end deals like buying or renting a property require personalized attention. Before buying the property or renting it, customers like to do research, but for any custom queries, an agent’s presence is required. 

But how can one address this kind of personalized attention at scale?
