Manual Booking vs Digital Inventory Grid
In a traditional real estate setup, apartment and plot bookings are logged on physical notebooks, paper sheets, or shared Excel files. When sales teams are scattered across multiple project sites and the head office, this disjointed workflow inevitably results in double bookings.
1. The Cost of Double Bookings
Booking the same unit to two different buyers is a reputational disaster. Correcting the clash requires lengthy client negotiations, refunds, or forced swaps.
2. Real-Time Locking
Unova solves this by introducing a global interactive Unit Matrix. When a sales rep clicks 'Lock' on a flat, the unit is instantly reserved company-wide for a set time (e.g., 72 hours) pending booking money clearance.
3. Unified Operations
A digital inventory connects directly with accounts. Once the down payment is received, the accounts desk clears the lock and marks the unit as 'Booked' instantly.
