Raine & Horne Intranet & LMS Solution Case Study

See how We've transformed

Raine & Horne has been operating in Australia since 1883 and is one of the largest real estate groups in the country. Now a fully franchised operation, Raine & Horne has been recognised by the Superbrands Council.

The Challenge

Raine & Horne’s workforce numbers around 3000 people, ranging from Gen Y to retirement age, and their offices sell residential, rural and commercial real estate.

Serviced by 30 staff in the Sydney-based corporate office, the use of digital technology to communicate with each individual was imperative.

Key challenges included the need to reach each person in every franchise and ensure uptake of the latest information and marketing materials.

Email was seen as spam and the old intranet was full of out-of-date content with many paths to find it, causing much confusion.

The Solution

A solution was needed that could be personalised to the varying needs of the users, provide training and compliance management and a comprehensive range of functionality out of the box, quickly.

After an extensive search it became clear that Elcom was affordable, quick to market, supportive and had all the functionality needed.

A name for the new intranet was crowd sourced and ‘Scout’ was launched.

The adoption rate was immediate largely due to the publishing of agent rankings, an element of gamification that drives competition.

Daily updates and regular use of video, as well as a mobile-responsive format, were also contributing factors.

Pop-up compliance messages tracked through Elcom's Training Manager provided the evidence needed to ensure awareness of legislative changes.

Predictive search, online directory and social discussion tools have transformed a distributed workforce into a cohesive community that now learn and share with each other.

The Benefits
