We are excited to share a peek at our new expanded office space in our St. Augustine, FL HQ. Located in the historic downtown area, the new office suite has tripled our space and includes a big conference room for team meetings, several larger offices, and seating space for a dozen additional support staffers. This location is primarily focused on customer support, technology, and product development. The team has been thrilled to stretch out since moving into the new office on June 15^th. Visiting Indeflex Sales Partners and Vendors are welcome to work from the St. Augustine office space and will enjoy that it is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants around St. Augustine’s historic downtown.

The Historic District in St. Augustine is the heart of the city. This is where guests will find a majority of the city’s restaurants, shopping, hotels, and attractions. The Historic District is the oldest part of the city with many buildings dating back to the 1700s. Even the streets are laid out as they would have been centuries ago, and are more walkable than a lot of cities visitors are used to seeing in America. Along with being a beautiful area for finding things to do like shopping, visiting museums, and dining, the Historic District is also home to the beautiful bayfront with lovely panoramic views of the Matanzas Bay.

The top-rated attractions in the area are centered around the Historic District and reflect the importance of history in shaping St. Augustine into what it is today. For example, the Colonial Quarter is a living history museum with costumed reenactors and interactive experiences. The Castillo and the Fountain of Youth both have weapons demonstrations so guests can expect to hear the sound of canon and musket fire around the Historic District.

Another defining feature of the Historic District is the architecture. The design on building facades represents the height of Spanish Colonial and Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture. The area of town showcases everything from early European design, Florida bungalow style houses, and Gilded Age extravagance. Being the nation’s oldest city, the Historic District of St. Augustine represents all that history has built here since 1565.

Our CTO Jason Konrad has been hard at work on a custom portal called Autobahn Money, that allows all Indeflex agents to seamlessly view and track commissions at-a-glance. This is not a drill! This new portal is rolling out this week and next, so let’s dive in to learn more. Agents should watch for their welcome email to the portal any day now!

First of all, Autobahn is the business management tool all Indeflex agents use to submit tickets, turn in and track applications, run reports, track leads, etc. The list goes on and on of all the cool custom features Autobahn offers. This new feature is a specific functionality that agents have been asking for that allows them to view their pending, paid, balance owned, and residual statuses from the one portal. Here’s a snap shot of how it looks.

This new portal shows agents their payment history, and most importantly, it gives crystal clear visibility into the payout process and which accounts have been paid, which have not, and why.

When agents login they will see:

· Pending – From approval bonuses or other bonuses

· Paid – Accounts already paid to you

· Balance – Agents can track their advances and other balances

· Residuals – As our agent’s book of business grows, this tab will show their ‘hands-off’ earnings – the residual income agents earn every day, all year long on previously sold accounts.

There is also a section that shows a full history of all the accounts an agent has sold. It looks like this:

This history section shows approvals, bonuses, activation statuses, and applications that are pending to give agents a full view of their book of business at any given time.

“I built this with our agent’s convenience in mind. They all need a way to easily see their earnings and what accounts need follow-up or are pending for some reason. This gives them all the information they need in a simple format right inside Autobahn,” said Jason Konrad, CTO at Indeflex.

Once each agent’s account has been created, a welcome email will be sent out. When logging into the Autobahn Money portal you’ll navigate to the ‘Money’ tab along the top navigation bar and drop down to the section you want to see first. It’s that simple!
