ESTATE APPS
15 September 2022
Estate Apps has niched in the property industry for over 12 years and actively work with 180+ estate and letting agencies across the UK, from start-ups all the way through to well-established brands.  It’s not been easy building a reputation in an industry traditionally serviced by brands that have been around for many years and have substantial marketing budgets but our core principles have always been the same: A solid focus on delivering a high-quality product and a service to go along with it. A fair price. A constant drive for better. We’ve been very lucky along the way, in picking up certain clients that constantly strive for new ideas / features and push the boundaries of their own business in their local areas. These agents are part of our “core group” and have really helped grow our platform into what it is today. We’ve never done much in the way of marketing or sales – literally all our business is driven by word-of-mouth and the power of social proof!  We’ve always been passionate about reviews and honestly, don’t spend much time talking about how good we are. Preferring simply to direct people to check out the quality of our work (in recent launches) and our 250+ 5* Google Reviews – that speaks volumes. We’ve also been fortunate to win one of the property industries top supplier awards, The ESTAS, 4 years in a row! And we’ve just been nominated for our 5th which is taking place at the end of 2022. This past year, we’re proud to have achieved certified Carbon Neutral status to ensure we’re doing our bit for the environment around us.  As Estate Apps grows older, we’ll never forget our humble beginnings and where a lot of businesses around us just seem to become stale over time, we continuously evolve with personal service at the heart of everything we do. That’s the story so far, but in reality, we’ve only just got started…

The future of Magic with Milav on the board
20 May 2022
This year we are taking a huge jump, the biggest in the life of our company. We decided to merge with another IT company: Milav, from Székelyudvarhely and Cahul. We are in the process to integrate a team of 18 professionals and exceed the magical number to 50 teammates.  We – the two companies – already know each other, but let’s emphasize the synergies between the two teams: Milav is coming with professional front-end developers, completing the Magic’s strong back-end team. Milav is coming with DevOps and designer competencies that were missing from Magic in the past few years. The Milav Admin team will help us in the gap left by some colleagues leaving. Milav is coming with important foreing customers (UK, Netherland), complementing our list of references – and we can continue ….  Some facts changed with this merge: now we have customers from Romania, Hungary, Moldavia, UK, Netherland and Slovakia; solutions and services for financial markets, real estate market, airway companies, commerciants, service providers and startups; references like Erste Group, OTP Group, WizzAir, Brinks, Uniprest (Ro), MAIB (Md), ARSIS-Vodafone (Ro) , Color Metal (ro), Estate Apps (UK). We have some promising start-ups: Holmi.io, SalesBridge, ParkUpKeep.  We reorganize activities in 6 teams that create value and 4 teams that should serve them to operate. Each team have a project and a development manager. All administrative activities are migrated to Atllasian products (Jira, BitBucket…. ) and we are creating our resource planning and financials in Airtable with a high level real time integration.   I will close again with my personal feelings – Our teams, our management is more powerful and experienced and structured now as ever, our cash flow is comfortably positive, our plans and contracted services are the best ever! So we are ready for a more successful period and for our 20th anniversary we are going to consolidate our position as the most important tech company of our region. Good luck to our team! by Attila Rácz
Annual lookback
23 December 2020
20 was a big challenge for everyone. A challenge to adapt to a new situation has taught us to pay more attention to each other, to better appreciate everyone and everything around us. Thus, we also realized the importance of human relationships not only with colleagues but also with our clients. This year has taught us to look for solutions to situations we have not encountered so far. We have learned that online work also bears fruit, we have learned to treat each other with much more patience and adaptation in this way, we have learned to work with our children 😊 Despite all the changes, we feel that we coped well the obstacles and we had a successful year compared to the new situation. A brief business summary of the year of 2020: • Our support team performed outstandingly this year as well, despite the distance, we successfully completed all our support projects, as before. We will continue to strive to manage these projects with great care in the future too. Thanks to the support team for their work. • We have successfully submitted several EU projects, which we look forward to hearing from them and we appreciate a lot our team for their hard work. • Our skillful project team managed to launch several new projects: MAIB – Cash management, Uniprest Instal – Digital Advisory project, Streamerse – streaming platform, Alphablock – development project, we had several projects for our KPEye product, we also created several new platforms for our new clients We can say that we are closing the year with satisfaction, we are waiting for the next year with many novelties and new plans. We wish for all our colleagues, existing and new clients a happy holiday and a successful 2021.
