Introduction
Staying on top of file management can be overwhelming for in-house transaction coordinators (TCs), especially during transitions between platforms. As you move from Dotloop to Skyslope, implementing a streamlined system is essential to staying organized and efficient.
How to Manage a High Volume of Files as an In-House TC
1. Adopt a Centralized Digital Filing System
Switching from Dotloop to Skyslope? Use this transition as an opportunity to establish a centralized filing system. Ensure all documents are categorized by transaction type, client name, and closing date. Skyslope’s document checklist feature can help maintain consistency.
2. Utilize Email Management Tools
Managing a busy inbox can drain time and focus. Use AFrame’s email integration to categorize and label emails by transaction, priority, or client. Consider creating automated rules to move non-urgent emails to a “Later” folder, keeping your primary inbox reserved for critical tasks.
3. Prioritize Tasks with a Daily Checklist
Start each day with a checklist of must-do items. Skyslope’s task assignment feature can help you prioritize, but a simple list on your desktop or phone works, too. Break down large projects into smaller, manageable tasks to maintain momentum.
4. Set Boundaries for After-Hours Work
It’s easy to fall into the habit of catching up on emails during the evening. Instead, set specific times for email review during the day. Tools like Boomerang can schedule replies, helping maintain your evening downtime.
5. Embrace Automation and Integrations
With Skyslope’s automation capabilities, set reminders for critical deadlines and automate client updates when documents are uploaded. Integrating AFrame with Skyslope can further streamline communication and reduce manual data entry.
