Start with the everyday work
Start with what your firm is allowed to change.
A new CRM may look useful, but an appointed representative's operating arrangements can determine which systems, records and processes are required. Before moving information, establish whether an additional tool is permitted, what it may hold and which existing system remains the maintained record.
Evaluate Achos around the work you can actually place in it: organising tasks, managing permitted case information or improving a client interaction. Make any handover to a principal or network system explicit. Two clear responsibilities are easier to manage than an assumed integration that does not exist.
A workflow to try
Check fit before planning a migration.
A practical discussion sequence for the brokerage and the people responsible for its arrangements.
-
Confirm the permitted use
Discuss the proposed software and information with your principal or network. Identify approvals, conditions and required systems before making a commitment.
-
Map the maintained records
Document which system owns each client and case detail. Agree how a correction will be reflected elsewhere and who checks that handover.
-
Demonstrate the allowed workflow
Use fictional data to test the tasks and client interactions you intend Achos to support. Include permission checks and required review points.
-
Agree a controlled start
Scope any migration or initial data entry only after requirements are clear. Reconcile the records and keep a documented route back if the trial is unsuitable.

Explore case managementRead the complete walkthrough
- Enquiry: Start with the person, not the paperwork. Capture the enquiry, link the client and property, and give the case an owner. Everyone starts with the same record.
- Documents: Make the next request obvious. Ask for the fact find and supporting documents through the client portal. The client can see what to complete and upload.
- Review: An upload is the start of a review. Check the documents before moving on. If a page is missing or something needs clarification, keep the follow-up visible.
- Next action: Give every handover an owner. Assign the next task and a due date. See what needs attention without piecing together separate email threads.
- Client update: Keep the client in the loop. Send a clear update and keep the conversation alongside your work. Set up repeatable reminders when your team is ready.
- Completion: Finish with a clear record. Update the case stage, close the remaining tasks and keep the documents and conversation together for future reference.
Make the demo useful
Bring your principal's questions to the demo.
Discuss the permitted workflow before assessing convenience or comparing feature counts. The same principle applies when weighing mortgage broker DA versus AR operating models.
Bring your workflow to a demo- Confirm whether Achos may hold the proposed client information.
- List mandatory systems and the records that must remain there.
- Ask for evidence relevant to access, data handling and export requirements.
- Verify any proposed integration rather than assuming network approval.
Useful answers
Questions before you choose.
Can an appointed representative choose its own CRM?
That depends on the firm's arrangements. Confirm permitted systems, the information they may hold and any approval requirements with the principal or network before deciding to use Achos.
Does Achos connect to our principal's system?
No such connection should be assumed. Provide the system and workflow details during the demo so current support can be checked and any separate data handover understood.
Is Achos a substitute for the network's required process?
No. Assess it only within your agreed arrangements. Mandatory records, reviews and systems should be identified before considering an additional tool or a migration.
