The
Challenge
The “speed of business” is no more evident than in commercial real estate and the Office-Industrial space in particular. Business clients are regularly in need of office space and at the same time, property owners’ need to optimize utilization and financial return on their assets is key – and constantly changing. Office-Industrial agents must be readily available, provide quick turnaround and adjust to changes to make deals happen.
The
Solution
With the business challenges Franklin Street faced, phone calls and emails just weren’t cutting it anymore – their Office-Industrial agents needed a better solution. Franklin Street Office-Industrial agents, specialists and support staff now utilize Frankie to keep client projects and engagements moving forward, provide supporting documents and keep clients up to date on current happenings.
The
Results

The increased scale possibilities the Extranet brings to Franklin Street via digital collaboration and automation makes financial, customer satisfaction and labor realities vastly superior to a non-digital world.

Behind The Curtain
Core Technology
.NET Framework
C# and Entity Framework were used to implement all business logic, data marshaling and REST APIs for the system’s service-oriented architecture.
React
The React JavaScript framework provides the UI base for the entire system, providing rapid and smooth data fetching, storage and screen painting.
Microsoft Azure
Provides database storage, web app and web services. Azure provides an ideal solution for back end mobile applications with a multi-data center Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud solution that offloads bare metal and network connectivity oversight to Microsoft.
SQL Server
Provides a robust data storehouse and query platform to store contacts, companies, properties, transactions and other business data. In-cloud SQL Server was used to provide instant scalability and rapid querying.
