The starting point

Four capable products. No connective tissue.

Four mature tools in daily use, years of broker research, engineering capacity ready — but no one owned the experience strategy that ties them together. Fragmentation was a UX problem, not a tooling problem.

No shared object model

Each product carried its own data model; users re-entered the same information four times.

Four independent roadmaps

Without alignment on data, the products stayed siloed — integration happened at the edges, not through the broker's workflow.

Broker demand unmet

Real request: “one digital place to go” to work. Marketing said “platform.” UX had to prove what that meant.

A platform isn’t the apps inside it. It’s the shared object model and the workflow they all serve.
The direction

One object model. Four products share it.

Six shared objects that every product maps against — the alignment that makes “one platform” technically possible and the broker’s workflow the navigation anchor.

01

Account

The organisations brokers represent and transact with

02

Contact

The people inside those accounts — one record across tools

03

Opportunity

The deal in flight, shared between CRM and modelling

04

Property

The physical asset — the anchor every workflow returns to

05

Listing

What is on the market — surfaced consistently everywhere

06

Invoice

Closing the loop — the sixth object that completes the deal record

Four phases of platform maturity
Phase 1

Tool connections

SSO, deep links, shared objects — without changing per-app UX

Phase 2

Shared standards

Language, iconography, interaction — begins to feel like a suite

Phase 3

Shared implementation

Centrally maintained components, shared workflows — one entry point

Phase 4

Anticipatory experience

Memory and prescience — a trusted advisor, not a tool suite

The proof

The operating model that made it deliverable.

Key decision

Front-loaded the shared object model. Paid alignment cost early so object-oriented navigation became technically possible, not just marketing language.
