BE HOME WISE & BUILDERS COPILOT ANNOUNCE A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Be Home Wise and Builder’s CoPilot provide a fully integrated solution that manages critical information throughout the entire home-building process providing a seamless frontend to Home Builders.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 14, 2009 --Reston, Va., April 14th 2009 … Be Home Wise, Inc. (www.behomewise.com), an award-winning lead tracking, prospect management, e-marketing and data reporting system and Builders CoPilot (www.builderscopilot.com) a comprehensive, fully integrated builder-specific solution that helps them streamline their business processes, are pleased to announce that they have merged. Together, the merged systems offer Builders a tried and true customer relationship management (CRM) software package that combines a powerful front-end lead tracking, prospect management, e-marketing system with a back-end, integrated data management software component. Together, Be Home Wise and Builder’s CoPilot provide a fully integrated solution that manages critical information throughout the entire home-building process.

“This partnership provides a ‘best of breed’ business solution to the home-building industry at a very low cost,” said Builders CoPilot President and Chief Information Officer Amitesh Sinha. “It delivers a builder-centric data processing platform and a widely used sales and lead tracking system.”

“This allows our customers to leverage the power and simplicity of the Be Home Wise system with the strength of Builder’s Copilot’s Web-based, construction management software that enables builders to run their businesses more efficiently and profitably, said Be Home Wise Chief Executive Officer Robb Cohen. “They get the unbeatable combination of a powerful front-end lead tracking, prospect management system and a complete back-end CRM package.”

“This partnership comes at a very crucial time when most of the Home Builders are looking for more for less. Since BeHomeWise expanded into Mexico, we felt our ability to convert English into Spanish with the flip of a switch makes this relationship very efficient, as we can deliver Spanish language program to Mexican Home Builders without spending too much time or money on additional development”, says Amitesh Sinha.

Amitesh Sinha continues to say “The Rental Leasing Application in Builders CoPilot is attracting a lot of attention for mid-size builders in the Condo Property Market because renting is easier than selling; so rent till the time you get your buyer, is the motto for all these Home Builders. BeHomeWise due to its presence in a host of mid-size builders in the Condo Property Market makes this partnership viable”.


The partnership gives customers an efficient, streamlined approach to business. Builders benefit from information that flows seamlessly from Be Home Wise’s advanced prospect and buyer tracking system into a completely integrated single platform with real time information – Builder’s Copilot. The prospect data from Be Home Wise is accessible in Builder’s CoPilot to write contracts in sales, reflect costs entered in production, manage construction schedules, service items under warranty, generate real-time reports and analyze accounting details.

Be Home Wise also has an innovative e-leads application that not only captures and manages Web leads, it instantly rates, ranks and qualifies each lead. This application, which features automatic lead follow-ups, is a sales-imperative as more and more prospects begin their search for a new home on the Internet. This data is seamlessly married to the Builder’s CoPilot sales module for effective data processing.

Builder’s CoPilot came into existence in 2003 and was developed by Amitesh Sinha and Greg Benson, a veteran homebuilder and President of Comstock Homes, whose company builds homes in Washington, Atlanta, and Raleigh, N.C. Benson and Sinha worked together to design a software package that manages issues faced by builders on a daily basis.

“The market is flooded with software programs that address scheduling, procurement, supply chain management, and so on,” Benson said. “But, until we created Builder’s CoPilot, nothing tied it all together. Instead of buying parts and pieces, we built a fully integrated information management system that brings all of the data into one module.”
