Project Overview:

A Gurgaon-based property rental company offers a diverse range of accommodation options, including hostels, PGs, studio apartments, and fully furnished flats. Their business primarily operated through offline channels—phone calls, WhatsApp, and emails—requiring significant manual coordination between rental seekers and property owners.

Objective:

The objective was to transition the property rental company from an inefficient offline operation to a fully automated digital platform. This platform aimed to streamline the rental process, reduce manual intervention, enhance transparency, and improve communication between renters and property owners. The goal was to create a scalable, efficient solution that could handle increasing property listings, improve trust and accountability, and ultimately drive business growth in a competitive real estate market.

Challenges:

Heavy reliance on phone calls, WhatsApp, and emails led to delays and miscommunication.
Multiple intermediaries were needed to connect renters with property owners, increasing operational costs.
Attempts to adopt a third-party SaaS platform failed due to lack of customisation and poor alignment with business needs.
Lack of transparency in pricing, legalities, and property details created distrust among stakeholders.
