Executive Summary

The Problem

Property Capsule’s customers could market to potential tenants at the property level but had no way to market individual spaces—missing significant deal flow opportunities. Marketing was fragmented with no cohesive analytics, making it impossible to assess or improve marketing effectiveness.

The Solution

Ajackus built the Retail Marketplace, a dynamic web platform enabling space-level marketing with seamless data synchronisation from Property Capsule Enterprise, a Google Maps-based search tool for filtering spaces and identifying nearby businesses, distinct user experiences for tenants, brokers, and landlords, and advanced analytics and marketing capabilities.

The Result

Property Capsule gained a fully functional retail marketplace that bridges property owners and tenants at the individual space level, provides real-time synchronised data, empowers landlords and brokers with actionable analytics, and delivers a nationwide Google Maps-powered search engine for commercial tenant discovery.

Client Overview

Property Capsule is a cloud-based platform that streamlines commercial property portfolio management. It centralises, automates, and publishes property information—including overviews, agent contacts, site plans, tenant lists, photography, maps, and demographics.

Users can easily update information through a web-based interface, and the platform’s presentation modules cater to various devices including iPads, web browsers, mobiles, tradeshows, and laptops. Property Capsule serves as the property marketing backbone for commercial real estate professionals.

The Challenge

THE BOTTOM LINE

Property Capsule’s customers could market properties but not individual spaces—missing a critical layer of granularity that tenants, brokers, and landlords all needed. Marketing was fragmented with no analytics to guide improvement.

Property Capsule had built a strong platform for property-level portfolio management, but the marketplace lacked the ability to drill down to individual available spaces. This created missed opportunities and an incomplete experience for all stakeholders.

Core Pain Points

  • Missed opportunities at the space level: Customers could market at the property level but had no capability to extend marketing to individual spaces. They couldn’t effectively share and market multiple spaces across properties to specific tenant segments—leaving significant deal flow on the table.
  • Fragmented property marketing: Marketing execution was distributed and disconnected, with no cohesive view or insights. This made it extremely difficult to assess marketing effectiveness or optimise strategies across the portfolio.
  • No comprehensive analytics: There was a critical gap in analytics at both property and space levels. Without detailed insights into marketing performance, landlords and brokers couldn’t make data-driven decisions about how to attract and convert tenants.
  • No unified discovery experience: Potential tenants had no centralised way to search, filter, and discover available spaces across multiple properties—let alone understand the surrounding retail environment.

Project Goals

The project aimed to extend Property Capsule’s platform from property-level management to space-level marketing and discovery, creating a marketplace that serves all stakeholders in the commercial leasing process.

Goal Success Criteria
Enable space-level marketing Landlords and brokers can showcase individual available spaces, not just properties
Build a tenant discovery platform Searchable marketplace with filtering by location, size, and space type
Seamless data synchronisation Real-time sync between Property Capsule Enterprise and Retail Marketplace
Google Maps integration Map-based search showing spaces alongside nearby businesses
Advanced analytics for landlords Actionable insights on marketing performance at property and space levels
Distinct user experiences Tailored interfaces for tenants, brokers, and landlords

Our Approach

Ajackus collaborated with Property Capsule to design and build the Retail Marketplace as a comprehensive web platform that addressed every gap in the existing property marketing workflow.

Showcase Platform for Available Spaces

The primary objective was building a dynamic platform for showcasing available commercial spaces—not just properties. This meant enabling landlords and brokers to list, describe, and market individual spaces with rich detail, enhancing visibility and accessibility for potential tenants and creating a seamless connection between property owners and those seeking space.

Seamless Data Synchronisation

A critical workstream was building the synchronisation layer between Property Capsule Enterprise and the Retail Marketplace. This ensured a consistent, up-to-date representation of properties and available spaces across both platforms, giving users accurate, real-time information without manual data management overhead.

Google Maps Integration

The standout feature was the integration of a Google Maps-based search tool that enables users to filter spaces and properties by location and criteria, while simultaneously identifying complementary or competitive businesses in the vicinity. This transforms the search experience from a basic listing into a contextual, map-driven discovery tool—helping tenants make more informed decisions about where to locate their businesses.

Distinct User Experiences

The team developed tailored user experiences for each stakeholder type: tenants needed an intuitive search and discovery flow, brokers needed marketing tools and lead visibility, and landlords needed portfolio management and analytics. This user-centric approach ensured usability and relevance for every audience interacting with the marketplace.

Analytics and Marketing Capabilities

Beyond the platform itself, Ajackus built advanced analytics and marketing capabilities that give landlords and brokers actionable insights into marketing performance, tenant interest patterns, and portfolio-level trends—enabling informed decision-making and strategic marketing initiatives.

Results and Impact

The Retail Marketplace transformed Property Capsule’s offering from a property-level management tool into a full-featured marketplace connecting landlords, brokers, and tenants at the individual space level.
