The only current platform where traders can typically advertise, is the quarterly estate residents newsletter, which is usually quite costly and proven not to be very effective.<\/p>\n<p>A painting contractor recently secured a significant painting contract from a Kindlewood resident as the nominal charge of R145 per month, also includes a listing in the resident app. The residents are happy in that they can easily find and rate all the contractors and suppliers that have approval to work in the estate and naturally the contractors are also happy, as the residents can easily find them and place whatever quote requests may be required and when they need to grant access to the contractor, they can simply convert the quote request to a job, request, which then triggers access.<\/p>\n<p>This as opposed to the way manual method many estates still employ, which is to manually complete a form, scan it and email it or to make a call to the security admin.<\/p>\n<p>4Traders will be introducing many new features and benefits to the estate and its residents, such as allowing residents to enjoy access to preferential pricing and discounts via the residents app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4Traders was recently selected as the preferred Contractor Management Solution for all contractors that require access to Kindlewood Estate 4Traders allows all contractors that currently or plan to work in the Estate, to submit all their applications online, without the&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/2020\/11\/02\/kindlewood-estates-implements-the-4traders-cloud-based-contractor-management-solution\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Kindlewood Estates implements the 4Traders, Cloud Based Contractor Management Solution<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":74,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76,"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions\/76"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/4traders.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
