All the founders have significant property investment experience.

All the founders have significant property investment experience. This was actually a "pain point" that we had ourselves. Despite looking for solutions - there were none that did what we needed, to the level of quality we wanted. So that is what lead to the idea. We currently do the data entry with generally manual processes. However we are already adding steps that greatly reduce the time required. As the business grows we have options on how to automate more and more of the data entry - but we need to validate the idea first and confirm we have product/market fit prior to investing in further technology. Plus - as pg says - doing things that dont scale is a great place to start. By doing it manually we've already uncovered interesting data trends, and processes that we never expected. So we plan on doing it manually for a bit longer to ensure we learn as much as possible before we continue to build our automation tools.
