Now it can offer your business even more:
1# Letters, Emails & Invoices

- Creating invoices for entry fees and commissions
- Letters can be saved, printed or emailed direct from the system and is fully audited
2# Leads
Leads is a service which can be used by auctioneers to auto-respond to leads from Rightmove, Zoopla, their own website or any other portal they use.
- Responses are automated from information added in to DMS, for example emails can include, auction date, time and venue and property information including links to legal documents and viewing times.
