How Immovativ Built a Real Estate Vacancy and Settlement Management Platform

Real estate vacancy management is a coordination problem. Property owners have vacant spaces they need to fill. Potential tenants have settlement requirements they need to match with available properties. Between them sits a process that - without the right tools - depends on phone calls, spreadsheets, and manual matching.

Immovativ saw that this process was fragmented across email threads, PDF attachments, and disconnected databases. Property owners posted vacancies through inconsistent channels. Tenants submitted settlement requests without visibility into what was available. And the teams managing the process spent more time on administrative coordination than on actually matching properties with tenants.

The core problems were clear. First, no central registry of vacant properties with standardized information. Second, no structured way for tenants to submit and track settlement requests. Third, no filtering or search capability to match properties with requirements efficiently. And fourth, no automated reporting - every status update and summary report was assembled manually.

Immovativ needed a purpose-built platform that connected both sides of the vacancy equation: property owners posting available spaces, and tenants searching for properties that matched their settlement criteria.

Immovativ needed a development partner who could build a two-sided platform - serving both property owners and potential tenants - with the technical sophistication to handle advanced filtering, notification systems, and automated document generation. The platform had to be built right the first time, because both user groups would judge Immovativ by the quality of the digital experience.

easy.bi's team brought the full stack Immovativ needed: Symfony for the backend, React for the frontend, and Node.js with Puppeteer for PDF generation. The team's experience building platforms that serve multiple user types - with role-based access and distinct interfaces - matched Immovativ's two-sided marketplace model.

easy.bi designed the platform around two user journeys: property owners listing vacancies, and tenants searching for and applying to settlement opportunities. Both journeys converge in a management layer that gives Immovativ's team visibility into every listing, request, and match.

Streamlined registration and user management. The platform supports multiple user roles - property owners, tenants, and administrators - each with distinct permissions and interfaces. Registration is streamlined to reduce friction: new users can post a listing or submit a request within minutes of creating an account. The user management system handles profile verification, role assignment, and access control.

Advanced filtering and sorting for property discovery. Tenants search vacant properties using filters that match their settlement criteria: location, size, type, availability date, and custom attributes specific to the settlement context. Results sort by relevance, and saved searches notify users when new matching properties appear. For property owners, the same filtering capability helps them understand demand - which property types and locations are most requested.

Notification system for real-time updates. Both property owners and tenants receive notifications when relevant events occur: a new matching property is listed, a settlement request is submitted, a status changes. The notification system reduces the need for users to manually check the platform - updates come to them.

Automated PDF generation with Puppeteer. Status reports, property summaries, and settlement documentation generate automatically as PDFs using Node.js and Puppeteer. Administrators can produce reports for stakeholders without manual assembly. Property owners receive formatted summaries of interest in their listings. The automated pipeline replaced hours of manual document creation with one-click generation.
