Enterprise Content Management System for Retail Real Estate Corporation

CUSTOMER
DESCRIPTION:

Our customer is the leading company in commercial real estate retail. They had built a platform, that is powering more than 90% of all online property sales across the US. The platform empowers brokers, sellers, and buyers with data-driven technology and comprehensive marketing tools to expand market visibility and decrease time to close deals.

As a subproject, the customer wanted to build the largest online auction marketplace in the US, where anyone can buy or sell real estate property. With our help and third-party vendor’s assistance, we created a marketplace that streamlined the distressed property transactions between buyers and sellers.

The core of the marketplace is a mix of Enterprise Content Management System (ECM) and Web Content Management System (WCMS). As every ECM, the system manages a large number of documents, ensuring critical information is delivered to the correct audience. In our case – to the property buyer. The documents, images, on-paper data are aggregated into one system, linked to each other, and grouped. Every single group of documents describes one property unit available for sale.

As the documents are grouped, the built-in scoring system calculates the starting auction price and converts the unstructured data into structured. The structured data is later used in webpage generation for online auction.

Our primary responsibilities:

 

Streamlining development process between different vendors

The development and implementation of Content Security Policy (CSP)

Third-party modules integration and feature enrichment

The development of custom plugins, modules, and services from scratch
