How We Save You Money. . .

A typical Title company farm department encounters a variety of often very costly challenges. By outsourcing these services to Farms & Labels Plus, you can add literally thousands of dollars a year to your bottom line! Consider the following . . .

• Cost of maintaining a farm department

Space, employee salaries, management salaries, equipment,education, supplies etc.

• Employee productivity

Employee productivity at most Title company farm departments is average at best. Employees often pace themselves to accommodate the available work load

• Equipment Cost & Obsolescence

The cost to purchase & maintain computer equipment is very expensive. Changes in the postage process have required Title companies to purchase additional equipment and software.

• Management Reports

Most Title Companies distribute farms and labels to their customers as a service and in the hopes of getting Title orders. Quite often farms are ordered without regard to whether or not a client has supported the Title company.

• Postal Rules & Regulations

The Post Office has recently introduced a number of new postal regulations regarding Carrier Routes, Bar Codes, and Bulk Mail. Most Title companies are slow in reacting to these changes and often have a difficult time "freeing up" employees and managers to attend Post Office seminars and classes.

• Employee Vacations

Most Title company farm departments suffer when an employee is on vacation. The Title company often transfers an employee from another department for 1-2 weeks. This often leads to orders being completed incorrectly and below average service.

• Database Expertise

The Real Estate industry is becoming more and more computer literate with each passing day. Real Estate agents are sending and requesting databases in a variety of different formats. At most Title companies this results in a processing delay, often times the employee working the farm department is not a database analyst and must send the farm to the data processing department for conversion.

• Management headaches

Title Companies are in the business of selling Title Insurance, the last thing a Sales Manager needs to hear is that a printer in the farm department is down and that all orders will be delayed an additional day or two.

• Cost of Supplies

The cost of supplies used by a farm department have skyrocketed over the past several years. Paper, Toner, Labels, Diskettes etc.

• Balancing Staffing Needs

The farm department by nature is one of peaks and valleys. Typically January & February are very busy months with a slight lull in mid to late March only to increase again in Spring and through the summer months. At most Title companies this often leads either to over staffing or under staffing, the result is management that is constantly trying to guess the proper staffing needs for a given period of time.
