How To Boost Business Success Through Savvy Database Management
West-London based agency Northfields is a case in point. The firm had no less than seven legacy databases before drafting in London-based leading agency software provider, Eurolink, to help overhaul and consolidate its systems and processes.
Richard Palfreeman, Northfields’ Chief Operating Officer, explains: “We wanted one database, as we were putting the same data into seven different systems, which were a by-product of our growth.”
Eurolink was an obvious choice because of the provider’s ability and willingness to tailor Veco™ to fit Northfields’ requirements.
Veco™ offer a multi-discipline database that can manage sellers, landlords and estates in one system, which enables knowledge sharing and transparency, as well as the ability for agents to look at their overall database and filter customers by certain criteria, rather than having to manage an endless list.

“It’s been very labour intensive, as some of our legacy systems use a lot of free text fields. Plus [they’re] all custom built systems, so finding the support to work with them has been a challenge.”
But the task at hand soon became easier when Mears drafted in Veco™ to help.
“Veco™ has been instrumental in helping us migrate the information out of [these] legacy systems,” says Blyth.
