There was a need to create a system which would allow City Habitats real-estate agents to place their ads in real time environment. Our company successfully managed with this task. Once the ad is placed by a certain agent it is automatically inserted into online database. The output format was made more user-friendly. Administrative section and functionality were improved.
Interface: Search interface was improved to allow various search criterions and display of Description and detailed property information. To enable easy listings management For Agents Only section's interface was developed. Interface of Admin section was changed to allow management team to Add/Delete agents, assign passwords, generate reports, etc.
Agent Account System: Each agent was given an ID# which was required to enter listings. Agents gained the ability to enter, delete and edit their listings.
Timeout Listing Utility: Listings were made inactive automatically after specified period starting from the input date. The system would store all inactive listings for additional 30 day-period in an alternate storage component.
E-mail notification system: When listing is deleted by the system automatic e-mail notification is generated and sent to the specific agent.
Administrator Features: Administrators can do the following: add and delete a new agent into the account system, delete individual listing, delete all of the agent's listings after the agent is removed from the system, set the limit on the amount of listings per one agent, access inactive listings.
Log and reports: Different types of queries were enabled: query by total number of listings of a given agent within a certain time period; query by total number of listings within the database; query by Price Ranges, Size and Location.
