How time flies! Exactly 1 year ago two of our key property portals, MyProperty South Africa & MyProperty Namibia went live on our new AWS Cloud platform . It was a big step for us filled with lots of technical challenges and late nights that would make for interesting conversation over a few beers! Looking back it has been a remarkable journey in the end that led us to (confidently) move all our real estate products and client websites to the Cloud.  The team stuck together and made it work. Effectively we have created Africa’s first real estate cloud platform. Being an early adaptor of ground breaking technology means taking risks, having confidence to stick it through and proving to your clients that it works.  We have proved our critics wrong and in the process opened new doors for us in the medical field. The cloud technology platform constantly challenges us to think more out of the box. So today we are really celebrating freedom: Freedom from dedicated server

Our Entegral USA team has been hard at work developing mobile application solutions for the US’s leading fee-for-service provider Help-U-Sell . The iPhone mobile application includes the standard map and listing views and also a streetview option on listings. It is further enhanced by icons on property listings in the Streetview. This allows the user to navigate through streetview and view listings for sale or rent. Clicking on the house’s icon brings up all the listing details. Cutting edge stuff!

Enhanced property details A number of upgrades are currently taking place on MyProperty. We have enhanced the property details view to a sleek new layout. Maps, Directions, Comments and On Show is now featured in separate tabs that results in a more minimalistic design.  We have also enhanced the agent contact info which now features a ‘call me now’ and ‘request more info’ icons. Other icons are also clearer and easier to understand with text displaying when hovering over the icon. New bond calculator The new bond calculator now features graphs that illustrates the interest and principle payment totals over the term of the loan. It also calculates the savings when extra monthly payments are made and shows the total interest paid on a loan. The new bond calculator will find its way to client websites soon.
