Modernizing the Conveyancing Process in Papua New Guinea

Conveyancing is an extremely manual and cumbersome process. It's been around for a long, long time and we have a tradition of liking to do things in an auditable way. For years, the conveyancing process has used email, pen and paper with written signatures, printing documents and sending them in the post, etc. Can we better embrace technology, and can we streamline the process by combining the two together? Our answer to you is yes, we can. We can create efficiencies, we can save time, and we can create those solutions. An evolution for Property Developers, Law firms, Financial Institutions and a closer alignment to the expectation of today’s client to provide a slicker, quicker and easier journey.

A centralized data source, or platform, not only facilitates the sharing of information in real-time, but also streamlines communications and connects everything back to the same case so everyone involved is fully informed and up to date with next steps, reducing your overall transaction times.

What are the benefits to digitizing the conveyancing processes?

Firstly, you can mitigate data entry. We all appreciate that the more times we enter the data, the more opportunities we have for errors. Secondly, it allows you and your firm to work from a central data source, a single source of truth and a system which allows for greater accuracy, cyber security and integration. This sort of approach facilitates the on-demand approach allowing data and information to be shared in real-time and making managing client engagements and workload much easier for your staff. Linking client portals, your website enquiries, CRM, case management and other conveyancing software, means automated reminders and updates can be sent to clients to help progress cases more quickly with less human intervention, so your fee earners can do more meaningful work and your clients are happier!

Technology is the facilitator, but humans are the innovators.

We must understand that we build the technology and adapt it. But as an organization, you must understand that without your team, information technology doesn't work for you. Involve staff in defining the tech strategy, gain feedback and showcase the value to them. The key is to discourage your teams from working in silos and integrate your technology stack, and that's one of the things GREF PNG can support. We can collaborate with you to understand your strategy, and which solutions you’re currently using and potentially need.
