About Winkworth

Locations: 100 offices

Industry: Real Estate Franchise

Customer Since: 2025

Founded in Mayfair in 1835, Winkworth is a renowned estate agency that’s committed to finding the right home for every client.

What began as a family-run business, specializing in high-end properties in London, has since expanded significantly. Almost two centuries later, Winkworth now operates over 100 offices in the UK and afar.

They were the first estate agency in the UK to adopt a franchising model, cementing their position as pioneers in the industry.

The Challenge

Winkworth originally managed their franchisees with Saba by Cornerstone, a talent development platform.

However, while Saba’s learning capabilities were essential for Winkworth’s day-to-day operations, the software lacked communication and collaboration features. This made it unfit for their end-to-end franchise management needs.

When their contract with Saba came to an end, Winkworth seized the opportunity to investigate alternative solutions.

The Solution

Winkworth required a platform that did more. They needed to bridge communications, centralize documentation, and train their franchisees. All within one software.

This is where Claromentis stood out.

Using our integrated intranet and learning management system (LMS), Winkworth built a brand-aligned portal that upskills and informs their network. It’s easy to use and packed full of powerful tools — unlike their previous tech stack.

Key features they love include:

• News and blogs for sharing company-wide and location-specific communications.
• Learning management system for building, distributing, and self-servicing e-learning courses.
• Knowledge base for consolidating and sharing important resources.
• Themes and design for instilling brand consistency across the platform.
• Granular user permissions for delivering personalized experiences and enabling franchisees to control their own sub-users and content creation areas.

The Outcome

Thanks to our well-oiled onboarding services and extensive online training, Winkworth were able to get their new franchise management software up and running fast.

Now, communication challenges are a thing of the past.

Franchisees can access all the resources, training, and news bulletins they need from one centralized software. And the franchisor can keep a bird’s eye view of network performance and engagement with ease.

The result? Slicker operations, engaged teams, and more homes finding their happily-ever-afters.
