PropSpace Releases Region’s First Arabic Real Estate Software

Author: Osama Mahmood \ January 4, 2016 \ MENA, Press Release \ 0 Comments

Launch of the Arabic Version of PropSpace is a Major Milestone Towards Promoting Software Utilization within MENA’s Real Estate Industry

PropSpace is proud to announce the launch of its Arabic version, catered to the MENA region.

Commenting on the launch, Alex Nicholas–Founding Partner of JRD Group, the parent company at the helm of PropSpace–noted: “The release of PropSpace’s Arabic version reflects our clear and constant commitment to pursuing innovation and using technology to tangibly transform the real estate sector. Arabic is the official language of over 25 countries, representing nearly 400 million speakers. We are delighted to provide our existing and prospective customers in the Middle East with an advanced and world-class software solution that can be utilized in their native language. ”

Developed in 2011 by technology enterprise JRD Group, PropSpace proves the most popular industry enterprise software in the U.A.E., with over 95 percent of the nation’s real estate brokerages utilizing the cloud-based system. Considered the region’s first full scale multi-functional cloud-based real estate software, PropSpace consists of multiple modules that capture to a variety of workflows in the real estate sector, including but not limited to lead management, listings, deal flow, document generation and the region’s largest private MLS (multiple listings service).

This development elevates PropSpace to a prominent position in the region’s real estate software market, where a compelling need exists for enterprise software in Arabic. “Technology is a powerful agent for change but to truly transform an industry, ensuring regional and consumer relevance is critical,” emphasized Dr. Khaldoon Tabaza, Founder and Managing Director of iMENA Group which made an investment in JRD Group earlier this year. Added Dr. Tabaza: “PropSpace continues to implement pioneering moves in real estate technology. The launch of PropSpace in Arabic will encourage more individuals and institutions to join the software revolution, optimizing their businesses and collectively streamlining what is often a fragmented industry.”

The launch of the Arabic version follows significant steps by JRD Group to expand the PropSpace client base across the MENA region and globally, to more established markets further afield. Following a successful soft launch in London in September 2015, PropSpace made a promising debut at the 2015 REALTORS® Conference and Expo held in November 2015 in San Diego, California (U.S.A.); the first in a series of moves intended to position itself as the premier cloud-based real estate software solution worldwide.

Nicholas concluded: “We are committed to continuously innovating PropSpace, enabling our clients to operate in line with industry best practices and with an agility that will help them respond quickly to business developments and market changes.”

Powering a Legacy Property Business with Automation

How Cluttons Optimized Agent Workflow and Generated Business Returns with PropSpace

Widely regarded as one of the oldest global real estate firms, Cluttons boasts of a rich 250 year old legacy that spans its humble beginnings in the UK to a formidable worldwide presence.

During 2012, Cluttons’ regional headquarters in Dubai approached PropSpace with a pressing need. The team faced a series of difficulties owing to the adoption of manual processes that negatively impacted efficiency. Cluttons’ staff would spend a great deal of time manually entering listing information on various property portals used to market their properties. The sheer volume of this time-consuming task dramatically reduced agents’ availability to handle their core business: selling and leasing properties. The time required was so great that Cluttons had to hire administration resource to manually upload properties to the portals.

Within two months of implementing PropSpace, Cluttons experienced business efficiencies: from saving man hours in administrative work to obtaining automatic syndication of their listings via XML feed to a variety of local and global property portals.

In addition, since PropSpace is syndicated in real time with JustProperty.com any user enquiry received for a property listing on the site is automatically caputred on Cluttons’ lead dashboard; including information such as the leads’ name, phone number, email, and enquiry details. This synchronization optimizes agent workflow and reduces time spent on data capture and entry.

The clear and compelling organizational impact that PropSpace delivered to Cluttons’ regional headquarters in Dubai, led to its roll-out as the real estate software provider of choice for all Cluttons’ offices across the MENA region.

“Our MENA practice is incredibly agile and more efficient since our adoption of PropSpace as our real estate software provider,” commented Matt Allen, Cluttons Global Head of Business Development. “The automated data feed to property portals and our own website and the real time auto-import of lead enquiries from JustProperty.com are two fantastic features which are now critical to our business.”

These two features are just a small example of how PropSpace can make your real estate business more efficient. With advanced marketing capabilities, customer relationship management tools, auto-document generation, deals management, detailed analytics, reports and much more, PropSpace is a full-feature end-to-end software suite for the entire real estate industry – brokers, property managers and developers.
