Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The project was an extensive digital transformation of our sales and project management interface. EitBiz took charge of the entire development lifecycle, delivering a custom mobile application that featured a dual-purpose interface for both prospective buyers and current property owners. Key deliverables included an interactive property catalog with 3D floor plan viewers, an integrated GPS mapping tool to locate developments in Hargeisa and Mogadishu, and a client portal specifically for construction updates. This portal allowed our site engineers to upload photos and progress reports directly to a client’s profile. Furthermore, the scope included the integration of local and international payment gateways, a document management system for digital contracts, and a lead management backend that allowed our sales team to respond to inquiries instantly. They also implemented an offline caching feature so that users could browse property details even when their data connection was unstable.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The launch of the Somproperty app has fundamentally changed how we close deals and manage client relationships. We have seen a significant increase in the volume of inquiries coming from clients residing outside the country, as they can now take virtual tours and view detailed site progress without needing a representative on the ground. The transparency provided by the construction tracker has led to a much higher level of trust, which is reflected in the speed at which our new residential units are being reserved. Internally, the automation of payment receipts and contract viewing has dramatically reduced the administrative workload on our office staff. We have also noted that our properties are moving from "available" to "sold" much faster because the app allows us to showcase the quality and sustainability of our materials through high-definition video updates that reach our entire user base simultaneously.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
EitBiz managed the project with a level of professional discipline that was truly impressive. They adhered to a strict sprint schedule, providing us with a functional build to test every two weeks. This allowed us to give immediate feedback on the user interface, ensuring the final product aligned perfectly with our brand’s aesthetic. Despite the geographical distance, their team was always accessible, often adjusting their working hours to facilitate live brainstorming sessions with our directors. When we requested a mid-project addition of a currency converter to help our international investors calculate property costs in real-time, they integrated it within days without shifting the final launch date. Their communication was consistently proactive, and they took the time to explain the technical aspects of the app in a way that our non-technical management could easily grasp.
What was your primary form of communication with Extrovert Information Technology (EitBiz)?
- Virtual Meeting
- Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The most unique aspect of working with them was their willingness to understand the local nuances of our market. They didn't just build a generic real estate app; they tailored the experience to the specific needs of the Somali property seeker. For instance, they suggested a "Direct WhatsApp" integration for every listing, knowing that a large portion of our target demographic prefers conversational commerce over traditional email. This insight showed they were deeply invested in the actual success of our business, not just the technical completion of the project. Their ability to balance a high-end, sleek design with a backend that remains robust under heavy use is a testament to their technical depth. They treated our "Building Dreams" motto with the same respect as our own team does, ensuring the digital experience felt as premium as our physical buildings.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Extrovert Information Technology (EitBiz) could have done differently?
If we were to look for an area of improvement, it would perhaps be the initial depth of the user manual provided for our backend administrators. Because the system EitBiz built is so feature-rich, our staff found the first version of the documentation a bit too concise for the more advanced data-filtering tools. However, as soon as we mentioned this, EitBiz organized a series of live training webinars and recorded video tutorials that walked our team through every single function of the dashboard. This immediate pivot from providing a document to providing an interactive education experience was exactly what we needed, and it turned a small hurdle into a great opportunity for our staff to fully master the new technology.
