Create an iOS mobile app

Digital Transformation

Knight Frank prides itself on maintaining consistently high standards of customer service. To continue to meet these standards, the company is always looking for the best tools to support its consultants and maintain a competitive advantage. Knight Frank already had a functionality-rich website application but needed a mobile app so that its consultants could access important information and complete urgent tasks on the move. It also needed a major digital transformation of its complex internal application portfolio.

Hub App

The real estate business is more competitive than most and staying ahead of the competition is imperative to succeed. Knight Frank’s consultants, who are always out and about visiting properties and seeing clients, couldn’t always wait until they were back in the office behind their desks to access vital information. They needed access any time, anywhere. For this reason, Knight Frank approached Xebia to help develop a hub app for its consultants for property transactions and client relationship management.

“Thanks to Xebia, we now have a hugely complex and functional iOS app for our business. It has made technical tasks others struggle with seem simple.”

Round-the-Clock Access

Xebia created a tailor-made solution for the real estate company by combining UX and UI solutions and native iOS and swift 4 & 5 technologies. Thanks to the new app, consultants can now access all their contacts, contracts and properties, and all other vital information around the clock. They can also book market appraisals and viewings, record offers and so much more. All without wasting time exchanging emails or racing back to the office. The app is also an interactive assistant, allowing the consultants to dictate their notes and place calls using Siri.
