Case Study

Whittle Knight & Boatwood (WKB), Christchurch Property Management Company

WKB is a member of a group of leading property management companies in New Zealand and has a strong presence in Christchurch, established there in 1966. WKB has experienced substantial growth over the years, completing more than 200 property inspections a month.

WKB last year decided to implement digital technology for property inspection reports. The goals were to:

• Reduce significant staff hours involved in processing inspection reports
• Provide completed reports to clients more efficiently
• Standardise and improve consistency and accuracy of report quality and presentation
• Gain/maintain competitive edge in the market
• Stay “one-step ahead” of technological developments

After considering several other technologies including the PDA system, WKB chose to implement Kinross Group’s AMS system. The decision was based on several factors:

• AMS was easily adapted to suit their needs
• Could be applied immediately to staff cell phones
• No new equipment required
• Reports clear and simple
• Set up costs minimal – cost/benefit ratio shows major ROI
• Kinross Group offered immediate and personal service

Benefits

After only 4 months, WKB has experienced significant benefits:

• Administration staff hours reduced from 45 a month in processing hand-written reports to 3-4 hours a month processing AMS digital files
• Property inspectors’ hours cut from more than 40 a month on reports to 6-8 hours a month
• Clients receive reports within 48 hours as opposed to up to 3 weeks
• Savings of up to $6000 a year just in terms of staffing
• WKB no longer requires hiring a new staff member – potentially costing around $2,400 a month
• Admin staff freed up to do more important work for firm
• AMS total expenses very competitive with other options
• WKB can now take on more work without hiring more staff

Working with Kinross Group
