Alto, the cloud-based software for agents and part of Zoopla, has launched a new way for agents to learn about the latest Alto product developments.

Accessible on the Alto website under “What’s new” agents will be able to keep their finger on the pulse of Alto’s latest features and functionality.

The website section collates all of Alto’s latest product developments in one place – be it product release notes that capture every change made to Alto, new partner integrations or bigger feature launches – which can be accessed via Alto Agenda.

For example, improvements in Alto’s latest release notes include the ability to:

+ Look up properties in Add a Market Appraisal or Property journey to find out more information such as current valuation, floor space and EPC

+ Add additional columns to Alto’s Tenancy Report (within Reports > Property Management) including landlord postcode and email. This will make it easier for Alto customers to get contact details of landlords

Recent larger improvements to the software include enhancements to Alto’s mobile functionality – which was the most highly requested feature by Alto customers and enables agents to operate much more flexibly when outside the office and attending viewings.

Agents can now access keys and alarm codes on the mobile view of the appointment details page – while they can also now access full branch and colleague calendars. This enables them to see appointment details for their colleagues across multiple branches (provided they have access to their calendars) and they can also navigate from one day to the other.

Ric Dawson, VP of Software at Alto said: “‘We’re releasing updates and new features every day and we want to keep our customers informed of this progress in a simple way. By investing heavily in new, larger features as well as constantly improving what we’ve already built – we’re confident of further simplifying that day to day lives of our customers.”
