Why move-ins stall

Six move-in problems

The paperwork

A stack of statutory documents goes out before the keys, such as the Village Comparison Document and the Prospective Costs Document.

Sent, then silence

Packs go out by email and post. Nobody can see if they have been opened.

Proof of disclosure

If a date is ever questioned, nobody can prove when each document was given.

Families waiting

Families and solicitors ring for updates, and someone digs through emails to answer.

No single view

Each stage sits in a different system: the CRM, a spreadsheet, a shared drive.

The handover

Anything missed along the way turns up on move-in day.

Twelve steps, one owner each

Every move-in follows the same steps.

  1. Enquiry. The prospect gets in touch and their record opens.
  2. Qualification. Sales records what they are looking for, such as unit type and timing.
  3. Tour. The prospect visits the village.
  4. Reservation. A unit is held for them.
  5. Disclosure Period. The disclosure documents go out and the period runs.
  6. Application. The application for residence comes in.
  7. Contract Issued. The residence contract goes out.
  8. Contract Signed. The signed contract comes back.
  9. Settlement. The purchase settles.
  10. Pre Move-In. Keys, fobs and the welcome pack get ready.
  11. Move-In Day. The new resident arrives.
  12. Resident. The move-in closes and the record stays on file.

These are the default stages. Every stage name is editable, so you can match your own process. You can also reorder or switch off stages, and give each one its own owner, tasks and entry requirements.

Tasks and owners

Every task has an owner and a due date.

Each prospect has one record, from first enquiry to move-in day. Each stage brings its own tasks, such as sending the Village Comparison Document or preparing keys and fobs.

When someone ticks a task off, Pluss records who did it and when. Anyone on the team can see what is done and what is next.

The record also holds what the prospect is looking for, such as unit type and move timing.

Documents and audit log

Send each pack from the prospect record.

Pick a bundle, such as your Village Information Pack or Queensland statutory disclosure pack, and send it by email and text. The prospect opens it from their own secure link and can read it before anything is signed.

If something is unclear, they ask a question from the same page, and it lands on their record.

Pluss sends reminders at 3, 7 and 14 days. The record shows every send, open, reminder and question, with who did it and when. If a date is ever questioned, the record shows when each pack was sent and opened.

With DocuSign connected, documents can go out for signature too.

For new residents

New residents see where their move-in is up to.

The new resident or their family opens the Pluss app and sees each stage, ticked off as it's done. You choose what the screen is called, such as "Your move-in".

Documents waiting for them sit on the same screen, with the name of their contact at the village. They start using the app before they arrive. It shows your village's name and branding.

What this looks like on a Tuesday

On Monday, Catherine moves Helen Thompson to Pre Move-In. Pluss puts three tasks on the list: the unit condition report, keys and fobs, and the welcome pack.

She sends Helen the move-in documents by email and text from the same screen.

On Tuesday morning the record shows Helen has opened them. Helen checks the app and sees she is at Pre Move-In, step 10 of 12. Nobody has had to chase anyone.

Questions

Questions operators ask.

Can we change the stages to match our process?

Yes. Every stage name is editable. You can also reorder or switch off stages, and give each one its own owner, tasks and entry requirements.

Can we send our statutory disclosure documents?

Yes. Your documents sit in the Document Library. You group them into bundles, such as a Village Information Pack, and send a bundle by email and text in one step.

Can a family member or solicitor get the documents too?

Yes. An envelope can go to more than one person, such as the prospect and their solicitor.

Do new residents need a separate app?

No. They use the same Pluss app your residents use, with your village's branding. They start on the move-in screen and keep using the app after they move in.

How long does it take to set up?

Setting up the system takes days. We train your staff and residents, so your community is live within weeks.

For enterprise operators, we work with your corporate team so decisions and setup happen once. Every community then rolls out on time, on the same blueprint.

Is our data secure?

Pluss is ISO27001:2022 certified.
