Selling real estate is a communication intensive process. But users could not communicate with buyers from the app. Problem: Without email our users had to jump between platforms to conduct sales interactions leading to a fragmented experience. Solution: We built an entire email platform within Spark, and created more value by using the data at our disposal to give users more value when writing emails. Case Study Coming Soon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1598244867940-JLYWWWS3NV5MTCKNB4VV/MarketingSpend.png Spark - Marketing Spend Tracking and budgeting for real estate marketing campaigns. Spark is a marketing tool but the way users could track campaigns was broken. Problem: Marketing spend suffered greatly from feature bloat and desperately needed design direction. Solution: A UX overhaul of “marketing spend” that was more streamline, usable and in line with Spark’s UI language. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1598246940216-528M121GQUD4FSO3JSYX/CSP.png Spark - Stepped Contract Process Creating a more refined contract writing process. The contract writing process for a real estate is complex and well-established. Problem: With multiple stakeholders writing contracts and requirements varying between developers* a one size fits all approach did not work. Solution: A simple “stepped contract process” that can be customized for a variety of markets and developers. Allowing sales teams to quickly write contracts and sell units. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1599597659852-E7CA1KD9J0U1QGDXWFZ4/Frame+4.png Spark https://shashaank.design/clique-advisor daily 0.75 2020-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1600020397979-PR6K6ACMKFBQMP9GXC66/5f56d950f31f748790d73701_Deliverable-p-2600.png Clique Advisor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1599532206226-70Q76SEMHIRF9RE3KFM7/photo-1454165804606-c3d57bc86b40.jpeg Clique Advisor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1600062225325-CHCBXGDPUK4DZPL5QFGZ/Frame+10.png Clique Advisor Existing screen featuring a list of clients and their businesses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1600063487546-SPWJRXQKW654K11GAQPI/Frame+11.png Clique Advisor Existing onboardiing experience https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1600061156991-62DT3B8OFK26I8KOHQ9Z/Frame+8.png Clique Advisor Existing screen featuring the tasks assigned to clients https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1600061347266-HW8IZ3T2M9QCLF98ETJA/5f5691bb9abf9e8845e1787e_Mobile%2BInformation%2BArchitecture.jpg Clique Advisor https://shashaank.design/freelance daily 0.75 2020-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacdc90e666690cd69e6959/1598854862455-YE18MROPKCTQNWJL45YG/5f17c5ee3bd00cd3fe59a0a2_Group+26-p-2000.png Freelance Work - Tito App Tito is a crowdsourced news media generation app. Users are informed of newsworthy events nearby and are paid for photos and videos shot on site.
