Your customer service is the best part about Covercy. I love having a contact person that is responsive and helpful. Even if Covercy doesn't have a feature that we would like or need, we are always given workarounds or suggestions on alternative solutions. Our suggestions for portal improvements are always considered and being worked on by the development team. Covercy is working on improving the customer and investor experience

This is one of two providers to go with if you are considering an investor relations website. We evaluated both of them and landed on Q4 Desktop due to their reputation of solid customer service. The additional CRM software is a nice to have as there are many other solutions you may have access to before you make that product your main go to.

  • The Technical Staff was very helpful and supportive during our startup phase and handled project startup delays beautifully.

Reliability and Availability
Covercy
Our experience has been excellent so far. The only hiccup that we have had happen was when we were testing our signed document and signature process and the document wasn't initially sending. We figured out why it wasn't sending and were able to correct that issue in a very timely manner.

Covercy
I believe that Covercy is the only solution that is currently allowing Real Estate firms to distribute funds to their investors directly through the platform. Also, both other solutions are pretty expensive compared to the reasonable pricing that Covercy has in place (function of a number of properties rather than AuM or other methods).

Return on Investment
Covercy
  • The ROI I can provide is for time management. It saves us at least 2 days' worth of work each quarter on capital distributions alone, and at least 30 minutes on each report distribution. Not to mention the amount of time it saves us on fielding client questions regarding their capital because they can just log in and see everything on their portal.
