How Agency Bosses Can Save RM200,000/Year—Without Rebuilding Software
Running a Malaysian real estate agency is costly: advance commissions, perks, payroll—and software that never quite fits. Many firms try to “build our own ERP,” spend hundreds of thousands, and discover that by go-live the market and their commission logic have already changed. Every tweak becomes a paid project, speed dies, and recruitment suffers.
Why Agents Join - or Leave
There’s a better path: a commission engine you can reconfigure in minutes—by ops, not software developers. ListingMine ERP lets you change tiers, splits, promotions, caps/floors, accelerators, overrides, and advance/clawback rules with versioning and audit trails. You can future-date changes, see who edited what, and roll out cleanly—no vendor tickets, no “customization” fees. Pricing is simple: RM1,500/month for agencies with 51+ agents; free under 50.
Migration is straightforward. Import your agents, carry-forward balances from the old system, mirror one live scheme, run a test payroll, and switch with confidence. Your data stays yours (export anytime), role permissions keep control tight, and audit logs keep finance happy. No lock-in, no hidden fee traps.
Optimization note:
The more you refine your scheme, the more you save. Most agencies limit themselves to ~4 changes/year due to high vendor fees and slow rollouts. With ListingMine, implementation is almost instant—our bosses typically fine-tune well beyond 4 changes/year at RM0.
Cost comparison (per year)
| Item | Legacy ERP | ListingMine ERP (<50 agents) | ListingMine ERP (51+ agents) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ERP subscription (per month) | RM 3,000 | RM 0 | RM 1,500 |
| ERP subscription (per year) | RM 36,000 | RM 0 | RM 18,000 |
| Scheme Upgrades (per year) | RM120,000 (4 × RM30,000) | RM 0 | RM 0 |
| Admin Cost* | RM 30,000 | RM 0 (Self-serve, No admin needed) |
RM 0–10,000 (light ops only, conservative) |
| Coding speed | 2 months per change | Configure in minutes (no code) |
Configure in minutes (no code) |
| Total annual cost | RM 186,000 | RM 0 | RM 18,000–28,000 |
| Savings | — | RM 186,000 | RM 158,000–168,000 |
What this means in RM: If you update your scheme 10x per year, Legacy ERP “customization” fees alone are RM 300,000 (10 x RM 30,000) compared to RM 0 on ListingMine.
Why 10+ updates/year: Instant, RM0 changes let you react faster, recruit better, launch sooner, and iterate safely—giving you an unfair advantage over legacy-ERP competitors.
*For ≤50 agents, ListingMine replaces the back-office: approvals, invoicing, receipts, PVs, scheme updates, and reporting are all point-and-click. No dedicated admin required (RM 0). For 51+ agents, assume RM0–10k in early months for payout batching/exception handling; most teams eventually move toward near-zero residual operations.
In our deployments, this isn’t theoretical. One agency grew headcount by 500% in six months and saved over RM 200,000 in the same period once they could roll out and iterate subsale, rental, and project schemes instantly. That implementation speed is an unfair edge over companies on legacy systems - when compensation changes ship in minutes instead of months, recruitment accelerates and retention improves because agents see clear, timely, and credible pay.
Every month of delay is a lost recruiting cycle. When your compensation updates land in minutes, you can out-offer rivals immediately; by the time their legacy change arrives, you’ve already upgraded again—and the best agents have noticed.
If you want proof in your numbers, bring one live scheme and one “wish-we-could” incentive. We’ll mirror your current rules and show the new idea—versioned, dated, auditable—without a dev ticket. Above 50 agents, it’s RM 1,500/month to run compensation at the speed of your business. Under 50, it’s free—ideal for a zero-risk pilot.
