Soft Surge
Soft Surge Ltd is a software development and digital marketing company based in Limassol, Cyprus. We provide services related to data aggregation, price monitoring, and e-commerce.
The Beginning
Our story started to tackle issues users face when searching for real estate in Cyprus. The process usually requires browsing numerous websites to view all available online listings.
Estate Searcher
After reaching out to buyers, sellers, and real estate agents, it became clear that uploading properties on listing websites is a problem for many. Many agents were unhappy with manual imports and third-party integrations. The solution was clear to us; A web crawler would gather wanted data from real estate agents’ websites and replicate them on listing sites.
Our platform, Estate Searcher, was born. The software automates data collection and displays multiple listings on one search engine.
Furthermore, the platform is monetized using a custom, fully automated Ad Manager.
After launching Estate Searcher, we instantly got positive feedback from agents and developers about the ease of our platform’s uploading process. Ultimately, leading to our business acceptance into the Bank of Cyprus incubator/accelerator, IDEA.
