B The problem
When it comes to property auction viewings, whoever opened the inbox first had to chase the missing details before the message could be passed on. On a busy day, that follow-up alone could push an answer into the next morning.
What we built
The new form collects property reference, viewing preference and buyer question at the point of inquiry. Messages land in a readable format with the category identified, and the sender is told the next step is a viewing response from the property auction team.
