Forty branches. One way to order a board.
There is no one supplier who covers the country. What you can have is every supplier you already use working the same way, and every branch ordering the same way wherever it is.
Free to ask, and no commission on your work.
- Nothing to install
- No account to open
- Up to three erectors per area
What a network of branches actually loses
Not the price of a board. The hour a negotiator spends chasing one, and the vendor who watched a fortnight go by outside their own house.
Nobody can tell you where the boards are
Fifteen suppliers and fifteen ways of being told. Head office usually finds out a board never went up when the vendor rings the branch to ask why.
Every branch buys differently
Different rates, different lead times, different invoice layouts. There is no way to hold one supplier next to another and see which of them is actually serving you.
Boards left up long after completion
It is your name on the board and your name on the street, weeks after the property has gone. Nobody set out to leave it there. It simply was not anybody's job to notice.
The board is the one thing your CRM does not know
Your negotiators can see everything about a listing except whether the sign is up outside it, so they ring the branch, who ring the supplier.
Ask once. Order the same way everywhere.
One submission, every branch
Send the whole footprint at once. We put each area to the erectors who work it, and up to three of them come back to you. You still choose area by area, because that is how coverage really works, but you only ask once.
The same portal, whichever erector you use
Every erector on Board Clever can give your branches a login: raise the order, see the date it is booked for, see when it went up and what it cost. Different supplier, same screen, so a negotiator moving branch already knows how to use it.
Orders straight out of your CRM
Where your branches run Street, Apex27 or Alto, a new instruction can raise the board order by itself. Nobody types the address twice and nobody forgets to order it at all.
Every visit on the record
The date it went up, the date it came down and the price it was charged at, per property, in one place your branch can open. A board still standing on a sold house becomes a job somebody is chasing rather than something nobody noticed.
Branch postcodes and roughly how many boards a month. We will do the asking round.
Where every board is, without asking anybody
Your whole book drawn where it actually is, grouped by area, with the colour saying how far along each one is. Open a cluster and it is that branch's work.
Orders raise themselves from
Add a property in the system your branches already run, and the board order is raised for them.
The questions head office asks
- Do we have to change supplier?
- No, and we would rather you did not. If the erectors you already use are on Board Clever, ask them for a login and nothing else about the arrangement changes. Where you have a gap, or an area that has never worked properly, that is what an introduction is for.
- What does it cost us?
- Nothing. Introductions are free and there is no commission, in either direction. We are paid by the erectors who run our system, which is also why we are straight with you about what it does not do.
- Who sees our branch list?
- Only erectors who have said they can take the work, area by area, and no more than three per area. We do not publish a list of agents, and we do not publish who covers where. Nobody is named to you until they have accepted.
- Can we have one invoice for the country?
- Not from us. Each erector is an independent business and bills you directly, and pretending otherwise would mean standing between you and your supplier over money. What you can have is the same portal, the same figures and the same way of ordering out of every one of them, which is the part that has actually been missing.
Start with the region that gives you most grief
Pick the one area where the boards are always late and let us find somebody for it. If that works, send us the rest of the map. Nothing about the arrangement is exclusive and there is nothing to sign.
If your own team puts your boards up, you do not need an introduction. You need the system the erectors run: see what it costs.
