EDINBURGH-based property software company SME Professional has announced a major UK expansion following a nationwide roll-out with letting and estate agents Belvoir and Northwood.

SME Professional will now provide property software and customer relationship management (CRM) support for all of Belvoir and Northwood’s 250 letting and estate agent offices – from Aberdeen to Plymouth.

The property management platform has enjoyed steady growth since it was first launched in 2011, and it currently enjoys a customer base of more than 1,000 companies.

The completion of the Belvoir and Northwood roll-out marks a successful 12 months for the company, having secured a Silver Award for Agency Software Supplier of the Year in the national ‘Negotiator’ Property Awards.

“It’s exciting to complete this work, and a pleasure to work with Belvoir and Northwood’s directors and franchisees to develop custom software functionality to meet their specific business needs,” said Fraser Sutherland, MD of SME Professional.  “This cements SME Professional’s status as one of the leading property CRMs in the UK, which is also reflected in our recent award win.

“It’s very satisfying to see our platform grow almost entirely through recommendation by our users. With 18 years of continuous research and innovative development, the SME Professional property management software platform has evolved into a comprehensive, multi-level product which provides a depth of functionality, detail and automation which remains unmatched.”

The software platform provides a range of functionality required for a multi-service agency. This spans automated client accounting to lettings and sales.

Adam Noonan, Belvoir and Northwood’s commercial director, added, “We have been working with SME Professional for a number of years, and it’s fantastic to see our brands using the software which has proved to be a huge time-saver for our franchisees. The platform’s seamless integrations with the property-based tools that our franchisees use have made our processes more efficient.”
