Every realtor wants a different grid layout and wants to change it from month to month depending on which houses they want to emphasize. Managing thousands of templates was not tenable as there are also many on-the-fly design options which are required
Ad-builder based on HyperGrid technology allows a handful of templates to replace thousands by handling complex grid geometry and design options dynamically
This allows them to offer self-service ad page building to realtors who essentially manage their inventories on-line and get real-time previews of the ads and the pages they are working with, growing their business and reducing overhead.
Major Real Estate magazine and booklet publisher
Real-estate downturn caused search for productivity and automation enhancements to cut costs.
HyperMatrix enabled complex page layouts to be populated, redesigned and managed via Excel-like interface directly from housing inventory database. Because HyperMatrix has unlimited variables it was ideal.
