Tiger Bytez - Bringing Conveyancing into the 21st Century
2022-01-26 12:00 - 13:00 | Online Event
Tiger Bytez co-founders Scott Elliot and Simon Riess will take attendees through a journey of conveyancing to date and the market frustrations that lead to the creation of the conveyancing chatbot. The problem that conveyancers have in the present day, is that their work is often an administrative burden.
Tiger Law experienced these issues and needed a solution to their endless paper trails and demand for more work in the same amount of time for the same cost. By building and utilising the conveyancing chatbot, a shift in focus towards greater client satisfaction has been achieved as a result of relieving smaller tasks that can be automated. The time saved using the chatbot has therefore lead to greater revenue by having the capacity for more work.
The solution and future is Tiger Bytez- bringing conveyancing into the 21st century.
