Client Onboarding Portal

A corporate real estate agency based in Buenos Aires managed over 400 properties spread across three provinces. The process of onboarding new corporate clients was carried out using paper forms, emails, and phone calls. Each new contract required an average of five information exchanges before being completed.

The administration team spent approximately 12 hours per week solely on document verification and manual data entry into their internal system. Brokers reported delays of up to four business days for a new client to be registered and gain access to the portfolio of available properties.

Management decided to seek a solution that would reduce onboarding times and eliminate transcription errors. They evaluated three software providers and selected RemaxRegistrations for its focus on the Argentine market and the ability to customize registration flows.

Approach and Work Plan

The project was divided into four stages. The first consisted of mapping the current onboarding flow: from the initial client request to the activation of their account in the agency's system. Seven friction points were identified, including identity validation and signing confidentiality agreements.

In the second stage, a self-managed registration portal was designed. The corporate client completes a web form with the company's data, uploads the required documents (articles of incorporation, power of attorney, tax ID), and selects the type of access needed. Each step includes real-time validation to prevent returns.

The third stage integrated the portal with the unified portfolio panel. Once the agency administrator approves the request, the system automatically creates the client profile, assigns the corresponding permissions, and sends the access credentials via email. The entire process is recorded in the audit log.

The fourth stage was team training. Three 45-minute virtual sessions were held with administrators, along with a written guide for brokers. The goal was for everyone to understand the new flow and know how to resolve the most common client questions.

Technical Implementation

The portal was developed as an independent module within the existing RemaxRegistrations platform. A microservices architecture was used so that onboarding would not affect the performance of other functionalities. Authentication was integrated with the secure access module, which already included multi-factor authentication and custom roles.

For document validation, an automatic verification system was implemented that checks the format, readability, and validity of uploaded files. If a document does not meet the requirements, the system displays a clear message indicating the problem and how to fix it. This reduced document returns by 70% during the first few weeks.

The database was updated to include specific fields for the onboarding process: request date, verification status, type of attached document, and activation date. Each record is linked to the corporate client and the assigned broker, facilitating subsequent queries.

Observed Results

During the first three months of operation, the agency onboarded 38 new corporate clients through the portal. The average onboarding time was reduced from four business days to less than 24 hours. In 22 cases, activation was completed in less than two hours after the client submitted the request.

The administration team reported a 60% decrease in inquiries related to the status of requests. Brokers, for their part, positively valued that new clients arrived with their profile already complete and documents verified, allowing them to dedicate more time to commercial attention.

The data entry error rate dropped to zero during the evaluated period. Before the portal, an average of three errors per week were recorded in client data transcription. The automatic validation system completely eliminated this type of incident.
