How we helped a premium real estate agency boost lead quality and save 50% of their time

Overview

For businesses managing high-value client journeys—like buying property on the French Riviera—time, accuracy, and seamless communication are everything. FRH, short for French Riviera House Hunting, needed to juggle property discovery, client relations, and back-office tasks across dozens of fragmented platforms. But their tools weren’t keeping up.

Every listing search meant scraping multiple sites manually. Tracking client preferences relied on outdated spreadsheets. Internal handoffs were slow, and team members often duplicated efforts. Their digital infrastructure wasn’t scaling with their service quality.

They partnered with us to build a tailored CRM platform, automate their workflows, and give their team and clients a better experience—without reinventing their business model.


Challenge

FRH faced several core inefficiencies that were slowing growth:

  • Manual property searches → Agents had to browse and copy-paste data from multiple real estate platforms to find listings.
  • Scattered and duplicated data → Property details and client information were stored across disconnected sheets and tools.
  • Slow internal communication → Lack of a centralized system caused repeated tasks and unclear handoffs between team members.
  • Time-consuming client onboarding → Entering new client information and preferences manually was tedious and error-prone.
  • Outdated tracking tools → Property checklists and buyer journeys were tracked in spreadsheets that required constant manual updates.

They needed a central solution to consolidate operations, reduce manual work, and scale without losing their personal touch.

Solution


We designed and implemented a custom CRM and automation layer tailored to the real estate context, giving FRH full control over their sales pipeline, property sourcing, and client interactions.

Here’s what we delivered:

Built a custom CRM → We centralized all property, client, and task data into a single platform for full visibility and zero duplication.

Automated property sourcing → We used web scraping automations with Airtable’s Web Clipper to collect property data in one click from public listing sites.

Streamlined client updates → When new matching properties are added, the system automatically notifies the right clients via email.

Implemented smart checklists → Task progress across buyer journeys is now tracked with dynamic status boards rather than static spreadsheets.

Used our WAVE Matrix → We applied our proprietary methodology to identify bottlenecks, prioritize features, and ensure every solution delivered measurable value.

  • Custom CRMs built on no-code tools can outperform generic software—fast.

For FRH, automation didn’t mean replacing people—it meant empowering their team to focus on what they do best: delivering white-glove real estate service on the Côte d’Azur.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before starting a project with us.
How do you ensure successful software adoption by my team?

We prioritize user-friendly design and build tools that match your real-world workflows. By involving stakeholders early, iterating quickly with visual development, and offering multilingual support and smooth onboarding, we make sure your team actually uses and loves the tools we build—no massive training required.

Why choose no-code/low-code development over traditional coding?

No-code and low-code platforms allow us to build scalable, secure, and cost-effective applications faster than traditional development. This means shorter launch cycles, easier updates, and intuitive interfaces that require less training—without compromising performance or customization.

What industries do you work with for software development and automation?

We’ve successfully delivered software and automation solutions for startups, marketing agencies, tourism companies, logistics, and financial services across more than 10 countries. If your team is drowning in Excel files or switching between outdated tools, we can help modernize your tech stack and align it with your business goals.

How can automation and AI improve productivity in my company?

By automating time-consuming tasks like data entry, email responses, document processing, and reporting, we free your team to focus on high-value work. Our AI integrations help uncover actionable insights, personalize user experiences, and reduce human error—leading to significant time savings and improved operational efficiency.

What types of AI-powered software can you build for my business?

We specialize in building custom AI-powered software tailored to your specific workflows. From automating repetitive tasks to creating AI chatbots, predictive analytics, and CRM tools, our solutions are built to reduce manual work, improve team efficiency, and deliver data-driven insights. Whether you need internal tools or customer-facing applications, we ensure your team will love using them.

How do you protect clients from vendor lock-in with your software solutions?

We build custom applications using open standards, modular architecture, and well-documented APIs—ensuring you can evolve or migrate your system without being tied to one platform, developer, or tool. You maintain full ownership and control of your code, infrastructure, and data.

How do you ensure your software is scalable as our business grows?

Our solutions are designed on modern, cloud-based architecture using scalable databases and flexible backend systems. We future-proof your product by anticipating growth, integrating performance monitoring, and enabling smooth upgrades as your team and customer base expand.

What is your development process, and how will I stay updated?

We follow an agile, iterative development process with weekly check-ins, demo sessions, and transparent project management tools. From kickoff to launch, you'll have visibility over progress, direct contact with our team, and shared access to documentation and prototypes.

How long does it take to build a custom web or mobile application?

Timelines vary based on complexity, but most projects take between 4 to 12 months. We prioritize speed without sacrificing quality by using no-code/low-code tools and streamlined collaboration—delivering fast results and early value.

What’s the difference between a website and a web application?

A website displays content and is often static, while a web application is interactive and dynamic—built to perform specific functions like processing data, handling user input, and connecting with databases. Think of your banking dashboard or CRM system: that’s a web app.
