Real Estate Database, Inc.Client's Goal
Real Estate Database, Inc. (REDI) provides services such as design, hosting, and administering of custom databases for the use of sharing, marketing, and researching large selections of real estate information. One of REDI’s database subscription services, Appraisal Data Network, Inc. (ADN), provides commercial comparisons for eight counties in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and select areas in adjacent states. To stay competitive in the marketplace, REDI needed a web mapping tool that would allow users to view the properties spatially along with the natural and man-made areas surrounding the searched parcels. The user can search for parcels using PIN numbers, county information, addresses and zip codes and view them on a map. REDI came to Applied Data Consultants, Inc. (ADC) to develop the new application.
ADC's Solution
REDI can now add web mapping to its list of services. ADC developed a custom application that gives ADN customers the ability to visualize the location of the property they are searching in relationship to the knowledge they have, making their searches quicker and more efficient. Comparisons between properties now take into consideration the lay of the land on where the property is located.
ADC employed a number of technologies to develop the new tool: Open Layers JavaScript Library was used to handle most of the user interactions with the map in the browser. Open Layers has extensive vector support for quickly adding markup, highlighting, and selecting features that all runs within the browser. Google Base Maps are used and provide road and city data along with aerial imagery with a WMS (Web Mapping Service) parcel layer overlaid.
Geoserver is being used to serve the parcels WMS layer, which was provided by REDI. Geoserver also works to add watermarks that are visible at a certain extent. Tile data is cached for quick loading in the browser.
PostGIS/PostgreSQL is used which allows for the storing and querying of map data in a spatial database.
Results
REDI/ADN customers now have the power to add more relevant information to their comparison appraisals than what can be found in a tabular database. The mapping component has allowed the user to incorporate a breadth of spatial data that is very relevant to the values of the parcels. Every appraisal that is performed needs a map for the subject property and all related comparables. Ideally the user will create one map showing all parcels that is dependent on location of parcels, etc. By having the mapping service the customers have a tool to design a map or maps to accompany their reports.

infoUSAClient's Issue
infoUSA© is a provider of both business and consumer information and marketing lists. As with most modern companies, they have transitioned to selling their data products via custom internet commerce sites. Their principal product is called the Sales Lead, a potential client contact defined by industry, demographic and consumer expenditure indicators, among other characteristics. In addition to these defining properties, Sales Lead lists are also scoped by geography to narrow down and focus the purchase. Geographies such as state and county boundaries, Metropolitan Statistical Areas, and postal ZIP Codes and Carrier Routes can be applied to select Leads. infoUSA found, however, that the methods implemented on their web commerce site for geography selection were inefficient and very inflexible. Selection was list-based and non-graphical, requiring the user to know which geography they wanted, and was limited to a single geography selection type at a time.
ADC's Solution
A team comprised of infoUSA developers and ADC software engineers designed and implemented a map-based web component that provided graphical, robust methods for searching and selecting Sales Leads to purchase. The component integrates into infoUSA’s existing commerce site and is comprised of both ADC-hosted and infoUSA-based elements that work in conjunction during execution.
The selection mapping interface allows users to navigate nationwide and drill down as far as street level. Once at the desired scale, predefined geographies, such as Area Codes, ZIP Codes and counties, can be chosen and used to select any Leads located within them. And, most importantly, the user can define custom-drawn geographic features, which are then likewise used to select underlying Leads.
The web map component is implemented using the open source geospatial tools GeoServer and OpenLayers, in addition to the GoogleMaps API. Beyond the custom selection tools, it offers advanced, dynamic thematic and point density mapping, and is load-tested to accommodate approximately 4 million page hit per year.
Results
With an easy to use, visual and flexible method for data selection, infoUSA gained a competitive edge over rivals and enhanced their effort to increase share of the data list market. Further, through ADC’s implementation of open source technologies, infoUSA realized critical savings on software purchase and yearly licensing fees.
“ADC possesses a team of talented, knowledgeable and business focused professionals who have worked with infoUSA group very closely in devising some of our successful online mapping products. It has been a pleasure working with this team and I wish ADC all the success going forward.”
