Real estate software development, often with a GIS component
Systems for owners, developers, brokers and proptech companies whose operations have outgrown their tools, particularly where spatial data has to be part of the data model rather than a map widget.
The property platform we built
- GIS-native
- spatial data in the data model, not a map widgetProject management case study, 2024
- End to end
- cost estimation, field survey, legal status and project costing in one systemProject management case study
- Multi-tenant
- several organizations running different projects on one deploymentProject management case study
What property businesses want from their systems
One system for the whole portfolio
Assets, units, tenancies and projects in one place instead of five.
Location you can query
Reports that answer where, as well as what and how much.
Construction projects that stay compliant
Approvals, legal status and costs tracked across every site.
Rent and service charges that reconcile
Financial figures that agree with one ledger.
Where property systems break down
Spreadsheets next to the system
The work the property system cannot do moves into files nobody else can see.
Products that force workarounds
Asset types and approval chains that do not fit the product's idea of a portfolio.
Maps bolted on at the end
Spatial data kept outside the model, so location can be shown but not queried.
Real estate software we deliver
Project and construction management
Scheduling, approvals and compliance across construction projects, including GIS-integrated site data.
Property management systems
Assets, units, tenancies and the day-to-day operations around them.
Financial management
Rent, service charges, transactions and reporting that reconciles to one ledger.
Document management
Leases and contracts with versioning and retrieval that still works years later.
Mapping and GIS
Spatial data as a first-class part of the system, so location can be queried and reported on rather than only displayed.
Modernization and replatforming
Replacing a system that still runs the portfolio, incrementally.

GIS-integrated project management for large construction projects
Java, PostgreSQL, Angular and GeoServer: cost estimation, field survey, legal status tracking and stakeholder mapping for a real estate management company, multi-tenant.
Multi-tenant, GIS-native
Stratoflow was a great partner, challenging as well as supporting our customer projects for the best outcome. They have a great pool of talent within the business - all very capable technologists, as well as being business-savvy and suitable for consultancy engagements.
Services for property businesses
Buy the property management system if your portfolio is conventional
The market is well served and a product will cost less than a build. Build when your asset types, approval chains or reporting are unusual enough that every product forces a workaround, and those workarounds are already costing staff time.
Property systems share a large amount of unglamorous structure: assets, units, tenancies, documents, roles, approvals and reporting. We have built that structure before and do not start from an empty repository, so the work goes into what is specific to you: your asset types, your approval chains, your reporting, and any mapping or GIS integration.
Real estate software questions
Can it integrate with our accounting and CRM?
Usually yes, and it is normally required rather than optional. What matters is which system owns each fact, so that a rent figure has one authoritative source. We settle that before writing integration code, because getting it wrong produces reconciliation problems that surface months later.
Do you handle mapping and GIS?
Yes, and we treat spatial data as part of the data model rather than as a map component bolted on at the end. That distinction matters as soon as you want to query or report on location rather than just display it.
How long before we see something usable?
A first usable version is typically weeks, as a time and materials build with a written ballpark after the scoping call. Replacing a live system takes longer and should run in parallel with the old one until you trust it.
Do you have real estate experience?
Yes. We built a GIS-integrated project management system for a leading real estate management company in 2024, covering cost estimation, field survey, legal status and project costing for large construction projects, with several organizations on one deployment.
What technology do you use for property systems?
Java and PostgreSQL for the core, GeoServer for spatial data and Angular for the interface: the stack behind the GIS-integrated project management system.
Book a scoping call
Thirty minutes with an architect, not a salesperson. You leave with a written view of scope, price model and whether we are the right team for it.
