Introduction
As a national property inspection business operating across Australia, Resicert was experiencing rapid growth — but its systems couldn’t keep pace. Managing complex workflows for bookings, follow-up, and franchise operations became a challenge.

That’s when Resicert partnered with Ontraport. With the guidance of Ontraport Certified Experts Andrew Wadsworth and Shelly Cox, they built a custom platform tailored to their unique business model.

Over the decade since implementing Ontraport, Resicert has scaled its team, expanded its services, and grown its franchise network — all while keeping operations smooth and customer satisfaction high.

The Challenges

Disjointed tech
In its early days, Resicert relied on a patchwork of disconnected systems to handle the customer journey — from appointment booking to payments to email messaging. This siloed approach made it difficult to track clients, follow up consistently, and access reliable data.

Difficulty scaling
As inspection requests increased, so did the operational strain. Manual processes for intake, quotes, scheduling, payments, and follow-up limited efficiency and made it difficult to keep up with demand.

Franchise management challenges
Managing multiple franchises without an integrated system created significant obstacles:

  • ​​​​​​​Inconsistent pricing: Franchisees often quoted jobs at different rates, making it difficult to maintain standardization across the network.
  • Operational disconnect: Quotes and bookings had to be manually pushed into head office systems for scheduling, invoicing, and coordination, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors.
  • Time-sensitive reporting: Delivering inspection reports on deadline was difficult to manage across dozens of independent operators.

The Solution

Today, Resicert calls Ontraport its “central nervous system.” The platform powers the entire customer journey — from the first inquiry to service delivery and beyond — while also supporting franchise operations behind the scenes.

Instant quotes online

Clients receive instant, postcode-specific quotes through Resicert’s website. The system automatically factors in franchisee pricing and allows clients to customize their inspection with add-ons, all before paying online.

Automated booking flows

Once a booking is made, Ontraport routes the job to the appropriate franchisee, sends automated calendar invites, and triggers workflows based on the property type, service, and urgency.

Abandoned cart and declined payment recapture

Abandoned cart sequences automatically re-engage leads who don’t complete their quote or payment. Failed payments are also captured with automated follow-ups, saving staff hours of manual work.

Inspection report delivery and follow-up

After a property inspection is completed, inspection reports are automatically sent to clients via a pdf link in an email, with follow-up sequences to ensure satisfaction and gather feedback. Ontraport routes low-satisfaction responses directly to managers for intervention, while positive testimonials flow to marketing for use on the website and social media.

Franchisee support

Resicert has made workflows for franchisees simple and seamless, from initial customer inquiry through to invoicing.

For example, once a new lead completes the quote process online, the appropriate franchisee is notified and calls the customer to confirm their selections. The franchisee then uses a web form to submit the job, which triggers the next steps within Ontraport, such as charging the client’s card.

Because the majority of the process is automated, franchisees and staff can manage more requests without extra admin load — creating a smoother, more efficient experience for everyone.
