What Alto does well

Alto is a long-established agency platform covering sales progression, lettings and marketing, strengthened by its place in the Houseful/Zoopla ecosystem. Full-service agencies with a strong sales arm often shortlist it precisely for that breadth and integration.

Questions

Asked by switchers

Does LintelCRM handle sales as well as lettings?
