By centralising data and interactions within a single platform, Koodoo and Acre are breaking down traditional barriers, streamlining the advice journey, and ensuring better customer outcomes, which leads to significant time savings.

“I’m really excited to introduce Acre to my team. it’s going to make a big difference in how we serve our customers. Having a single platform for all information is highly beneficial for both us and our clients. This means we’ll be on the same page regarding case progress and areas needing attention. Plus, we’ll have a centralised place to store and track all relevant files, clearly accessible for both consumers and advisors. I am also looking forward to analysing my team’s performance in more detail, thanks to the integration of data points on Acre.”

Acre and Koodoo are digital disruptors and we share the common goal of making that journey far smoother. Our work is focused on facilitating a far more harmonious relationship between advisor and client. Koodoo’s in-house brokers will reap such rewards as they move their leads into Acre and utilise the platform’s best-in-class technology to provide a superior service, source the right deal for each case and get to DIP the first time, every time.”
