The verdict in three sentences
A real estate agency app that centralizes listings, mandates and viewings cuts the sales cycle by 20 %. In 2026, electronic signature, the online tenant file and geolocated listings bring 25 % more qualified leads. For a portfolio of 400 properties, the investment is around 2,800,000 FCFA, delivered in 11 weeks.
The digital mandate, core of the time saved
Wasted time in real estate hides in lost paper mandates and poorly scheduled viewings. By digitizing, the agent turns every property into a living record: mandate status, viewing history, offers received — all traceable.
