The Company

RE Cost Seg

RE Cost Seg, led by CEO Melanie Baldridge, has revolutionized real estate cost segregation by leveraging innovative NoCode tools like Noloco.

Cost Segregation is a powerful tool for real estate owners to save money on taxes. In short, it increases their cash flow by reducing their taxable income, and RE Cost Seg, has been optimizing and automating this process since 2022.

This new business complements Melanie’s traditional accounting operations at Baldridge Financial, which have been running their operations on Noloco since 2021.

The Challenge

The challenge for RE Cost Seg was twofold: managing a large number of engineering reports efficiently and facilitating smooth interactions between clients and the reporting engineers in a rapidly growing business environment.

To top it all off, Melanie was trying to start and scale this new venture, and didn’t have a lot of time. RE Cost Seg needed a simple, customizable and easy to use solution, that integrated with their Airtable base, and that they could get started with ASAP.

We send clients the the onboarding instructions, with a link to access their portal, then they are able to see everything we're doing, and just drop their files in.

The Solution

Melanie integrated their existing Airtable base with Noloco to create a seamless file request system, streamlining RE Cost Seg’s operational processes in a matter of days. Noloco’s easy-to-use interface builder allowed Melanie to build an app that streamlined her sales team's processes, and controlled the full customer journey, while keeping their data in sync with their existing Airtable base. 

Clients
As soon as a new client signs a contract, they are sent the onboarding instructions along with a link to access their Noloco portal. The portal allows clients to easily upload all of the documents required by the engineers by dragging and dropping them into their account.The portal also allows clients to track the progress of their reports as they move through different phases of the process

Sales Reps
When a client signs up, the sales team can monitor their progress from the portal. The app uses a combination of Kanban boards to track prospective clients and tables to quickly search the client database. This view gives the Sales team a 360 overview of all prospective clients, and what stage they are at in the signup process.

It also allows the sales reps to quickly mark whether the client has accepted the proposal, scheduled a meeting and whether it’s been sent for eSignature (all of which happen automatically)

We're able to onboard people very quickly and easily. The second they get that link, they're dropping all their documents, and filling in their information.

Now I have everything and it's all tagged, rather than sending me an email with 20 attachments and having to sort through and organize them myself.
