I hope you are doing well and getting into the festive spirits!
Following our previous post, we promised weekly updates on the development of our new system.
Tom Tom’s mapping integration
We have begun integration with TomTom’s API which is a matured mapping service, providing high-quality, enriched data. We’ve started with the address finder and postcode lookup.
The challenge that we faced was to get accurate auto-complete results, improving the speed at which a user can find an address across the globe.
Contacts/property lookup field
Looking for a contact or property is a fundamental part of day-to-day record creation. The challenge we tackled was to make it easy to find any related contact or property via the look-up menu. Making contacts easy to distinguish and identify by introducing contact badges and property photos. As well as giving the user key information to make a selection.
Timeline
The challenge here was being able to see at a glance the progress of a prospective property or contact in order to take key actions.
To answer this problem, we’ve worked on an integrated timeline, showing the contact and property’s activities.
In this sprint, we’ve worked on the foundation of this timeline.
We’re now wrapping up our 52nd sprint. We’re very excited for 2023 and looking forward to keeping you posted.
In the meantime, have a lovely Christmas and New Year’s Holiday.
