About the client

Spicerhaart is one of the leading real estate agencies in the UK, managing property sales and rentals across hundreds of locations. The agency required a solution that would unify its property data, streamline internal communication, and provide an interface for clients to search, view, and contact agents about available properties.

Goal

The primary goal was to create a scalable web portal for customers to easily search and view property listings, while also developing a backend system for managing the vast amounts of data generated across the agency’s 300+ branches. Additionally, the solution needed to support agent-client communication, integrate property data across multiple locations, and centralize administrative functions for better efficiency.

Stack

Solution

Before starting the project, we worked closely with Spicerhaart to map out the key requirements for both the client-facing portal and the internal administrative system. The real estate market is fast-paced, and they needed a solution that would allow them to manage and update property listings quickly, while offering customers a simple and efficient search experience.

The web portal was designed with a powerful search engine, enabling users to filter listings by location, price, and other key criteria. We implemented features like property comparison, detailed image galleries, and direct contact forms to connect users with agents quickly.

On the backend, the ERP/CRM system centralized property management across the agency’s branches. This system gave agents and administrators the ability to update listings, track client interactions, and sync data across locations, all within one unified platform. The architecture was designed to handle high traffic and large volumes of property data, with built-in scalability to accommodate future growth.
