Brian Milbrett is the CEO of Brettin Solutions, a company that provides services for home builders such as purchase order creation, job scheduling, job costing, consulting and a purchasing service.

The company uses software designed by Kova Solutions. This fully-integrated program tracks customers’ actions from the time that they enter the site and register with a builder, all the way through to the warranty process. Agents can then use this information to better serve their clients, and turn leads into sales. Here’s how the software works: buyers visit the website and can explore floor plans and options such as the addition of a three-car garage. The program tracks what the buyer is looking at on the website and the agent can then review what his or her buyers are searching for and make suggestions based on these queries.
