Situation

In the last few years, Realtor.com has acquired multiple businesses with diverse business processes and technology platforms, increasing the difficulty of connecting the systems across business units and providing real-time information to account executives. Realtor.com aspired to increase revenue through more efficient use of the massive amounts of data collected from its network of real estate websites. Its previous customer data model proved incapable of handling the multi-level hierarchy of real estate data feeds. Inefficient segmentation processes necessitated daily queries across numerous data sources.
Other major challenges included:

  • Limited scalability and lack of ability to adapt to changing business needs;
  • Need for an integrated platform to allocate leads and measure campaign ROI;
  • No automated handover of leads generated from campaigns, causing delays in lead-response times;
  • A host of home-grown applications, resulting in duplicate data entry, reduced productivity, higher call-handling times, and reduced data quality.
