The Applicant Analysis dashboard, one of the Management Information (MI) real-time dashboards available in Reapit, offers inbuilt real-time analysis of the applicant data held in your sales database

This real-time dashboard will help you to identify opportunities and potential business in your existing data

Figures are calculated automatically based on journal activity and other records across the database, meaning less reliance on time-consuming, and potentially inaccurate, manual reporting methods

To make sure the dashboard contents are accurate and reliable, ensure the following is consistently logged:

  • all applicants details are entered and each one has an applicant status screen completed in full

  • viewings are consistently logged including applicant data being entered in appointment details

  • offers are consistently logged against relevant applicants and the offer status is kept up-to-date
