Elevate Estate: Properties Management Website

Our client is a big name in the real estate industry, offering real estate services such as property rentals and buying and selling properties. They wanted us to make an online property management solution to streamline processes and operations.

Before partnering with Manektech, the client did not have much good experience with a third-party vendor. The search filter didn't work as expected, and problems with inspection scheduling and other aspects led the client to end their contract with the vendor. In search of a more robust solution, the client contacted Manektech, requesting a complete system redevelopment focusing on proper coding standards and improved functionalities. Additionally, the client highlighted the importance of integrating a Stripe payment gateway for a smoother and more user-friendly payment experience.
