Project Brief

Prodelity Technology approached Sketchfinix with a mission to develop an innovative platform that would empower the African diaspora in their quest to own property in Africa. The goal was to create a comprehensive app that addressed key pain points such as unreliable real estate information, financing challenges, and property authenticity. Sketchfinix was tasked with designing and developing the Prodelity App, a solution that would streamline the home-buying process and build trust among users.

Challenging Part

One of the primary challenges in developing the Prodelity App was ensuring the accuracy and reliability of real estate information. The African real estate market is often plagued by inconsistent and unverified data, which can lead to mistrust and hesitation among potential buyers. Additionally, addressing the financing hurdles faced by Diasporans required integrating secure and flexible financial solutions into the platform. Ensuring property authenticity and combating fraudulent listings were also significant challenges that needed robust verification processes and transparent mechanisms.

Solution

Sketchfinix tackled these challenges by implementing a multi-faceted approach:

Data Verification and Accuracy: We partnered with reputable real estate agents, developers, and local authorities to source accurate and verified property listings. Advanced algorithms and manual checks were incorporated to ensure the integrity of the data.

Financing Integration: To address financing hurdles, we integrated various financial services into the app. This included partnerships with banks and financial institutions to offer tailored mortgage solutions and payment plans suitable for Diasporans.

Property Authenticity: A robust verification process was developed, including the use of blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity of property documents. This provided a transparent and tamper-proof method for verifying property ownership and details.

Innovation

The Prodelity App is packed with innovative features designed to enhance user experience and trust:

1. 1. Blockchain Verification: Using blockchain for property document verification ensures tamper-proof and transparent records, significantly reducing the risk of fraud.
2. 2. Virtual Tours and Augmented Reality: To provide a realistic view of properties, we incorporated virtual tours and augmented reality features, allowing users to explore homes remotely with a high level of detail.
3. 3. AI-Powered Recommendations: An AI-driven recommendation engine was developed to provide users with personalized property suggestions based on their preferences and past behavior.
4. 4. Integrated Financial Services:The app features seamless integration with financial institutions, providing users with mortgage calculators, loan pre-approval options, and secure payment gateways.

Results

• Increased Trust and Transparency: Users reported higher confidence in the property information provided, thanks to rigorous verification processes and blockchain technology.
• Streamlined Process: The integration of financial services and AI-powered recommendations reduced the time and effort required to find and finance a home, making the process more efficient and user-friendly.
• Wider Reach: The app's innovative features, such as virtual tours and personalized recommendations, attracted a broader audience, increasing engagement and user satisfaction.
• Positive Feedback: The app received overwhelmingly positive feedback from users, who appreciated the transparency, ease of use, and comprehensive features offered by Prodelity.

Conclusion

Sketchfinix's collaboration with Prodelity Technology has revolutionized the home-buying process for the African diaspora. By addressing key challenges and incorporating innovative solutions, we have created a platform that not only simplifies but also enhances the experience of acquiring property in Africa.
