Redlands, California—ESRI, the world's leading provider of geographic information system (GIS) software, along with Baynet World, Inc., a leader and pioneer in real estate software solutions, announces ESRI's RouteMAP IMS has been implemented in Baynet's innovative PocketMLS wireless solution for the residential real estate market.
Baynet provides PocketMLS to real estate companies as a branded solution for mass distribution to their agents. "This is a great solution for any company looking to give its agents powerful and unique Web, wireless, and e-mail alerting business tools," says Jay Hoffman, RouteMap IMS Product Specialist, ESRI. "Integrated with ESRI’s state-of-the-art GIS technology, PocketMLS now affords real estate agents the ability to serve clients’ needs, delivering customized mapping quickly, automatically, and wirelessly."
Baynet uses RouteMAP IMS, ESRI’s affordable out-of-the-box solution, for adding customized mapping and routing capabilities to its wireless mobile application, PocketMLS. PocketMLS is available on any Windows Mobile, Blackberry, or Palm operating system handheld device. PocketMLS allows Realtors to search listings wirelessly; e-mail listings to clients; and receive e-mail maps, property photos, and driving directions.
When out with a client, a Realtor can view directions to specific properties, view an area map down to the street level, and plan the most optimized route between properties for efficient driving times. Realtors can also enter a street name and pull up all properties for sale, allowing them to give detailed information to their client right away. Searches can be saved for viewing later, and listing alerts can be set to inform clients of new house matches.
"RouteMAP IMS was the only solution in the market that allowed us to host the application ourselves," says Sanjeev Goel, vice president of operations, Baynet World, Inc. "This means we have complete control over our applications and data. We also like the fact that with RouteMAP IMS, we pay the same software fee each year, no matter the usage. It allows us to plan our budget as we grow our business."
PocketMLS is the only service that can access a real estate agent's or broker's desktop alerting application system to change contacts and client home searches right from the field. The PocketMLS wireless multiple listing service (MLS) solution creates a true virtual office for real estate professionals. Agents can capture home tour visitors as contacts instantly or set up e-mail notifications for their clients’ home searches right from the field.
