How the build went, one stage at a time

Read in order, the way a listing moves from coming soon to sold: where the executive homes estate agency started, what it cost them, what we built, and what their team can do now.

Starting point

The listing inquiry routing inbox belonged to everyone and no one. Messages were monitored between other tasks, with no record of who was handling each one.

The problem

For listing inquiry routing, the inbox rewarded the conscientious and hid the overdue. Nobody could answer the simplest management question: what is still open?

What we built

Each submission collects listing reference, buyer question and contact preference and is assigned to a responsible staff member with a visible follow-up status. A backup contact is named for every request in case the owner is unavailable.

What changed

Day to day with listing inquiry routing, every inquiry has a name and a state attached to it.
