Trackxi’s realization about where it fits is a good sign of the product’s maturity, hopefully providing its founder a more solid marketing message to proliferate going forward. Adoption will remain a challenge until the company can staff up with account teams and dedicated sales teams. It’s close.
What you should know
Here’s what I wrote last month. And here I am, staring across that bridge.
“I worry that Trackxi might be too focused on adding features instead of ensuring its current suite of workflow catalysts gets lighter and better. It’s a bridge I hope I don’t have to cross with this product, as I’ve been championing it since launch.”
The company introduced in March a fully featured CRM product that it’s providing for free. I’m not entirely sure if it’s merely a carrot to pull in more premium users but you could do a lot worse than taking a credible company up on its offer for free software. It could be the result of pressure from existing customers who want tighter linkages between their Trackxi install and long-adopted CRMs from other companies.
Founder Vijay Golapswamy sent me a press release about the CRM. In it, he said, “By offering a free CRM on our patent-pending platform, we’re giving real estate agents an innovative, easy-to-use solution that helps them stay organized, engage with clients, and close more deals — without the usual cost or complexity.”
In keeping with Trackxi’s UX approach, the CRM is heavily visual, using graphs, pipeline imagery and concise terminology to drive home where a lead stands in the relationship. Still, this is a confusing offer. I see it as an unnecessary weight on a nimble solution and likely the result of an evolving technology company leader reacting to unjustified customer pressure.
Maybe I’m wrong. But I think it takes away from what I like about Trackxi. It’ll be more to support, and it’ll invite customers to ask for more features that will further divide the attention of engineers. I warned Golapswamy specifically about this.
Maybe I’ll be wrong.
Under the stack of new updates and rollouts, this still(?)-promising software system continues to release a smart, task-driven product designed to alleviate the daily tedium that plagues so many in the industry. It uses a series of project-based visual flowcharts to drive activity, cure redundancies and silo items into their proper places.
As I’ve often said about this application, it exists in a niche you didn’t know you needed and emulates the value created by non-industry specific platforms like Trello, Asana and other tools meant to reduce operational clutter through the clever organization of essential tasks, tight communication and automating the mundane — the email coordination, the document oversight, listing tasks and open house scheduling, just for starters.
In early 2025, Trackxi rolled out an update for transaction coordination, something it long said was coming. Users need merely upload a completed document in PDF form for the AI to pull from it the critical data — names, dates, price, terms, etc. — for placement into Trackxi’s unique workflow experience. Companion software forms auto-populate from the listing contract, buyer agency form, lease agreement, addendum or whatever.
The benefits here are many-fold, the most notable of which is data integrity. No one likes to re-enter deal data; it’s risky and time-consuming. The feature also allows for faster population of data into Trackxi’s other features.
I don’t think this feature will be the deciding factor for a new install of Trackxi, but it definitely gives current users more reasons to like it.
This feature dovetails nicely with Trackxi’s buyer agreement best practices, something Gopalswamy found out few brokers have a plan for, even after so much industry discussion. He found that agents don’t know what to do with newly signed and required buyer agency and tour agreements.
Common sense tells us they should be stored according to your respective state’s retention laws. Trackxi also associates each agreement with the client and its dates, auto-alerting users to their expiration and, for brokers, links every agent to their use of the now-critical form.
The company’s namesake operational maps — interactive task-based visualizations — can be customized to how a brokerage functions and, in doing so, identify redundancies and productivity gaps as well as opportunities to combine and automate daily activities. Users know them as “templates” and they can be created for any number of in-house processes, from new contact follow-up and, as of this update, agent onboarding.
There’s a chat mechanism for teams to discuss certain documents, as well as task completion-based template creation and email sends. For example, when a deal is marked as closed, the template for “post-close follow-up” will kick in.
Trackxi integrates property management templates to help agents who also work on that side of the fence. It can help them help investor clients get a hold of the large number of items needed to ensure leases get signed, deposits collected and evictions carried out, among other essential duties of the rental property owner.
The app remains what I call a terrific solution for managing all the little things that hamper progress between signature and closing. It’s not a clinical transaction manager but more of an activity management solution, and it’s very good at it.
Communications are handled in-app and can include title and mortgage vendors, as well as clients, using permission-based views to ensure they’re not distracted by irrelevant business tasks. The company also includes a light CRM, manifested as an activity tracker or Client Journey log, that helps agents oversee who does what when organized by the individual. The intent of Trackxi is to support and inform users as to the who, when and what of a deal. Log in, find out, go about your day.
Again, software needs to support a real estate professional’s business, not run it for them. There has to be give-and-take human interaction to spur technological processes. In Trackxi, that idea is manifested in a number of ways but is perhaps best represented by its aforementioned graphical transaction journey, leveraged similarly to how dotloop uses visuals to “close the loop.”
Among other visualizations, the app displays an easily navigable snake graph, an interactive flowchart resembling a board game that is color-coded and task-based. It represents every milestone between contract and close; the details of each are summarized at each step and revealed in more detail upon selection. Color indicates task status.
This is as simple a method as I can think of to communicate the state of a deal to your buyer or seller because they can be given access to see it. It’s a much better method than delaying an email response to them about a voicemail not being returned from your lender. And speaking of email, in the midst of building Trackxi, Gopalswamy counted the number of emails he sent to a client during a single deal, finding more than 190 messages containing minor updates and non-value-add activities.
However, if you’re not a visual learner, no problem, as Trackxi can reduce the chart to a simple list or display it in a calendar view, with each task presented on its respective due date.
Every task created has a custom notes field, contact information for each party attached to it, and the ability to change its status, assign people to it and create due dates. Timelines are automatically created upon deal setup based on the closing date and will react to any changes an invited mortgage broker or bank lender inputs.
Deal flow within the app is rendered according to deal type, and the task templates are updated accordingly. Users can also sort according to close date to ensure priority for those deals most quickly approaching. Any user can modify and save any list, a nice touch for agents who sell in neighborhoods or condo communities with the same restrictive covenants, etc.
The email component keeps messaging under the umbrella of each respective deal, again ensuring everything needed to get a deal done is where it should be. It also offers a slick set of templates with preloaded mail merge fields to send granular, succinct deal updates, reducing the need to spend 30 minutes collating all the information before sending. Dates, names, escrow procedures and other information are auto-populated in seconds. Just hit send.
There are also a couple of slick value-adds for day-to-day business, such as a password storage center, in-app video training snippets and a listing lockbox manager that tracks box numbers and combinations.
The company offers a web app iteration of its product, meaning an improved user experience that eliminates the browser-based version’s need to access multiple tabs to work within different components of the software. Essentially, it works more now like a true, single piece of software, not needing to access multiple pages on a web server to deliver functionality. It should mean a generally faster response from the software.
What founder Gopalswamy needs to spend money doing is updating the front end, especially because markets like the current one provoke people to examine what they can do better. He needs to shine the hood. I had a friend at my house, an agent, who discussed at length a desire to change up his lead-capture system, and another broker contacted me recently about auditing his tech stack. In the same way Trackxi makes customers make hard decisions about how they spend their time, the software needs to modernize before it releases another update.
