Our studio was commissioned to design KOT, a web-based platform that seamlessly integrates the complete real estate sales cycle into a user-friendly digital experience. KOT bridges property developers, agents, and potential homebuyers by presenting an accessible and transparent view of the entire transaction process. The project's key aspects included designing a dashboard for tracking transactions and documents, bid creation and management, lead generation, and facilitating a guided payment and settlement process. All these were to be executed while maintaining a clear and intuitive interface that effectively demystifies complex real estate procedures for the users.
This complex project presented several challenges. Designing a platform that could handle the intricate stages of real estate transactions, from lead generation to settlement, was a daunting task. Ensuring user accessibility, fostering transparency, and creating a unified interface that could cater to various user types (property developers, agents, and homebuyers) were also major challenges.
We began with in-depth research and analysis of the real estate industry and the needs of each user type. We then developed a simplified user interface with easy navigation, clearly defined functions, and visual representations of complex data. We ensured that each function catered to the needs of the targeted users and implemented a design that fosters transparency and seamless user experience.
We analyzed existing real estate platforms and interviewed property developers, agents, and homebuyers to understand their needs, preferences, and challenges. We studied the transaction process and identified areas where transparency and user experience could be enhanced. This research helped us form a clear picture of the functionalities needed in the application.
