Industry challenges
What makes real estate & PropTech hard to build for.
The constraints that shape every product decision in this sector, and how we design for them.
-
01
The challenge
Leads lost between portals
Enquiries arrive from many portals and channels, and slow replies lose deals.
How we solve it
Your own portal and app with instant enquiries, chat and a CRM that routes every lead to an agent.
-
02
The challenge
Many parties, one property
Owners, renters, agents and managers need different access to the same property.
How we solve it
Role-based apps and portals for each party, running on one property record.
-
03
The challenge
Rent and deposits by hand
Collecting rent, deposits and refunds by bank transfer and cheque is slow and error-prone.
How we solve it
Online rent collection, deposits, reminders and receipts, reconciled automatically.
-
04
The challenge
Maintenance requests in WhatsApp groups
Requests get lost and owners cannot see what was done.
How we solve it
Tenants raise requests with photos; technicians are assigned, tracked and signed off in the app.
-
05
The challenge
Viewings that waste time
Agents travel to viewings that do not convert.
How we solve it
Online booking of viewings, virtual tours and pre-qualified enquiries.
-
06
The challenge
Buildings without data
Energy, access and devices are managed separately, if at all.
How we solve it
Smart building apps that connect devices, access and energy data in one place.
Use cases
Across the whole value chain, end to end.
