This continuous operations improvement results in the leveraging of technology including the creation of a customized development sales tracker that allows developers, administrators, escrow agents, and bankers to access a secure website via a personal computer or mobile device to facilitate communications and ensure the accuracy of data without compromising proprietary databases.
