The Upside Of Digital Systems For Managing Your Estate
Owners of large homes are looking closely at the personal risk of domestic staffing. The Coronavirus has highlighted an already existing risk — anyone on your property, be it, staff, contractors, or visitors, exposes to opportunities for lawsuits, and now, a highly contagious and deadly virus. Housekeeping and dirty laundry can wait, but technologically complex households need constant attention.
House manuals may answer some of your questions — from who to call to reset the Crestron system to how much to feed the exotic fish.
So, what’s wrong with a traditional house manual?
Well, the minute that document is printed, it is aged information. Any mechanical upgrades or service visits completed after the publishing date won’t be included. And typically, this manual sits on a shelf, is not referred to often, and is not readily available to the household staff.
As anyone knows, houses and landscapes are fluid assets needing constant upkeep. A digital system is the only way to capture day-to-day information and history and share it privately with staff and principals.
But…the NO. 1 REASON why capturing your household information in a digitally secure online format is critical:
When it’s time for a staff change, you can quickly and easily secure this information simply by changing your software passcode. Once the transition has occurred, simply update your team with the new passcode information.
This digital information will also be the fastest way to train your new staff member.
Boom! They’ll know what preferred products, protocols, and procedures to use to maximize their chances of success.
And even if you don’t think you’ll have a staff change soon, isn’t it time to upgrade your services into the digital age? You’ll free up your desk time, be able to manage projects off-site, and have all the answers for everything you do at-a-glance.
And, if you’re an estate manager looking for a new position…
…This digital system will become your most important resume document for impressing a potential new employer.
