Click2Community Announces New Release of Interactive Selling Solution For Production Homebuilders

Click2Community Web-Site Generator and Home Configurator Raise Industry Bar with Internet-based CRM for Home Builders

Click2Community, a provider of eCRM (electronic Customer Relationship Management) solutions for homebuilders, today announced the release of two new modules in the Click2Configure™ solution set. The Web-Site Generator and Home Configurator provide dynamic web-site generation and online Design Center capabilities.

Using Click2Community's suite of interactive selling solutions, homebuilders have the ability to quickly implement and easily manage their online marketing and sales process. Click2Community's products help builders increase revenues, control costs, improve efficiencies and bolster customer loyalty. Their Java applications utilize web application server and relational database technology to provide a robust and scalable e-business environment.

According to UBS Paine Webber's eBuilder Report (2000), builders effectively using the Internet could see profits per home improving by up to 30% in the next ten years. Recent research studies show that 62% of all new homebuyers already use the web for sources of information and service; that number is expected to grow to 85% within the next two years.

Click2Community's Click2Configure Suite includes:

Web-Site Generator — With Click2Configure's Web-Site Generator, builders can have their site online, attracting new customers in a matter of days. The Generator is designed with production homebuilding and operational flexibility in mind. Builders have the ability to drive the look, feel and flow of the site to match their image and the way they do business. This can all be done without the need for technical resources to implement or operate the complex hardware and software required to provide a reliable, high performance, Internet-ready environment.

Home Configurator — Developed by a team experienced in the technology and homebuilding industries, Home Configurator makes online Design Center functionality a reality. Click2Configure's Home Configurator allows homebuilders to present communities, home sites, plans and options through the web. The information is presented in an attractive and easy-to-use format and allows potential buyers to begin selling themselves on products and upgrades immediately, from the convenience of their own home. The prospect's selections are available to the builder's sales and marketing teams to develop sales strategies and to refine product strategy, translating into greater revenue and profits.

Click2Configure's Web-Site Generator working in conjunction with Home Configurator enables homebuilders to greatly enhance the marketing and sales process with their customers.

Availability and Pricing — The Click2Configure Web-Site Generator and Home Configurator are available as an integrated suite or on a stand-alone basis. Click2Configure is currently being shipped and installed in the United States.
