KCS Approach
Using the powerful technologies and industry’s best methods, developers at KCS revamped the web application and developed an intuitive tablet application for the Beekman Group. The CakePHP framework helped us to develop an error-free web-based property management system. We also assured the authorized users have access to the information and data they need. For developing the tablet application, we used Java programming language and Web API technologies. These technologies helped us in making a robust property management application for the Beekman Group.
Outcome
The redevelopment of a web application showed a lot of positive results in the Beekman Group’s business. The agents and executives are now able to manage all the properties of Beekman Group using both the web and tablet application. With the “offline mode” agents can easily operate the system even without an internet connection. Even though the tablet application is deployed over the internet, the Beekman Group is updating it regularly in order to give users a world-class property management experience.
