Infabode, a new information platform for the real estate industry, has launched at MIPIM in Cannes.
Targeted at anyone looking to access real estate industry research and information, the backers of Infabode say that the platform uses new technology to change the way information is gathered and distributed within the sector.
Rodney Bysh, non-executive chairman of Infabode: 'Once the model has been proven within real estate, we will be looking at scaling the software across multiple industries; as well as allowing companies to use the platform for internal projects.'
Testing ground
The real estate industry is acting as a test bed, according to Andrew Baum, a non-executive director at Infabode. 'For businesses it increases the reach of their information to a large audience of potential new clients. At the same time, the industry professional, academic and student will be able to access research from multiple sources quickly and effectively.'
Matt Partridge, founder and CEO of Infabode, explained: 'Infabode is the first social network to connect people with information, rather than people with people. Due to busy lives and the sheer amount of online information people are now faced with, we wanted to create a platform that solves the problem of information being spread across the web and the time constraints in accessing it.'
With content currently being provided by the likes of Savills, Cushman & Wakefield, Colliers, JLL and PropertyEU, Infabode provides any real estate business with the opportunity to disseminate news releases, articles and research, which they already generate.
The IB Real Estate Hub, which can be found at www.infabode.com/realestate enables each user to choose the industry sub sectors that they wish to subscribe to, creating a customised newsfeed and a personalised user experience. Upon subscribing real estate professionals can access content completely free of charge as well as adding their own opinions on the industry information.
