Transaction Reduction Times with Technology

Client Situation:

When working with a Madgwicks’ specialist leasing client, it was determined that one of their key business goals was to improve the efficiency of transactions and reduce the number of days required to complete transactions.

Outcome:

Madgwicks developed a tailored client solution and implemented a number of innovations and processes resulting in an amazing outcome reducing the national average number of days to complete a transaction from 213 days to 61.9 days.

How Madgwicks Helped:

To achieve these ground-breaking results, Madgwicks:

  • Undertook significant training sessions for the client’s agents with regards to the client’s processes and provided guidance regarding the client’s required legal positions. Through significantly improved uniformity in information input into the system, the Madgwicks team significantly decreased risk and increased the efficiency in which our team members could complete transactions. A win for our client and for our firm.
  • Created client specific tailored solutions and collateral to ensure transitioning to the system was seamless and simple for the client’s agents to follow. This included creating an instruction pack checklist for suppliers and guidance notes within the data set.
  • Created internal guidance documents relating to the system to handle specialist leasing, including more than 130 client specific precedents and a 300 plus page in- house procedures manual.
  • Worked with the client to develop a letter of offer to ensure that the more contentious lease issues are dealt with upfront to minimise the time to finalise a lease.

Data and Risk Control with Technology

Client Situation:

While acting for a large national corporation, it was observed that issues with turnaround times, efficiency, and uniformity within their national leasing portfolio were rife. As is the Madgwicks Specialist Leasing team’s approach with all clients, if we determine an issue, we come up with a solution. In this case, the solution was developing, designing and implementing a client tailored system to resolve these serious issues.

Outcome:

The leasing experts within the Madgwicks team worked closely with an IT developer to build a code and then develop, implement and manage the new client tailored system. Simultaneously, an instruction and document automation process was designed to streamline and control the accuracy of data for the client’s leasing portfolio (made up of over 5,000 national sites).

How Madgwicks Helped:

The Madgwicks-designed, client tailored system:

  • Reduced errors and improved information output by controlling input information;
  • Protected the client’s preferred positions and reduced risk by regulating escalation approvals; and
  • Saved on cost by avoiding disputes with candidates/ their lawyers and identifying problem candidates early. The system has shown to improve overall KPIs in acquisition transactions.

The system significantly improved the quality of information being received from suppliers and issued out to landlords. Importantly, through suppliers using the system, information was populated in a uniform and controlled manner therefore reducing the client’s risk.

The system was so successful that it was launched nationally and was the official tool and
process to be used by all suppliers and contractors of the company Australia-wide.
