Agents are being offered a free-to-use online inventory management service. 

Richard Abbots, chief executive, claims his new service Klerky offers an easier and quicker way to get inspections undertaken and reports written than rival providers and adds: “Traditionally, property inventory clerks rely heavily on manual processes or software solutions designed for other industries. We’re on a mission to help clerks streamline their daily admin, delight existing customers and win new business.

“What’s more, they’re not tied to using a specific software to create their reports – making Klerky a truly standalone CRM tool.”

Abbots – who is also the head of established service Inventory Hive – adds that his service has been rolled out across Greater Manchester during a ‘beta’ testing phase and is now ready for a national roll out. 

Through its website, agents and property manager can book qualified clerks free of charge to complete inspections and reports. Inventory clerks who sign up must have valid insurance before listing their business, and it also leaves users free to continue using their existing inventory reporting software without needing to change existing set-ups.

The service has been backed by The Deposit Service (TDS) and its chief operating officer Neil Peers comments: “Inventory check-ins, interim visits, and check-out inspections are crucial for reducing disputes between landlords and tenants. We welcome the launch of Klerky, which simplifies the process of finding trusted clerks, booking and managing inspections nationwide, making life easier for agents and landlords.”
