What are the key benefits of Data-Feeder’s product over competition?
What competition? Data-Feeder are the clear market leaders for a cloud based data feed handling, preparation and despatching.
Many website designers and programmers have always outsourced the specialised programming required to enable FTP uploading of datafeeds to Rightmove.co.uk, Zoopla etc. There are a number of advantages that make Data-Feeder’s Rightmove.co.uk Automated Datafeed (ADF) to BLM XML V3.3 V3i or V4n Cloud Based SaaS software unique and the preferable choice.
What sets us apart from alternatives is our combination of specialised expertise, the ease-of-use, ease-of-implementation and performance stability. In these days of automated alerts corresponding to pre-set client filters, by tweets, text or email, losing one sale or letting because of a late or missed listing to one of the major property portals because of an ADF failure would inevitably cost money in lost agency commissions. Having the Data-Feeder SaaS Cloud based ensures that compatibility to property portals is maintained, monitored and updated remotely and continuously, allowing the host website programming and databasing of the raw information to remain static and stable to minimise changes to the code, or the staff training that would be required with constant interface updates. All updates to Data-Feeder are managed incrementally in conjunction with the portals themselves. Data-Feeder are partnered to all the major Property Portals, who automatically inform of scheduled changes to ensure its automatic compatibility.
Using Data-Feeder will probably cost less or the same as calling on an experienced Automated Datafeed (ADF) to BLM XML V3.3 V3i or V4n programming specialist to set up a property website once and “statically”.
The clear advantage of using the experienced Data-Feeder specialist team is knowing for certain that the initial setup will be handled efficiently, with the added advantage of the guarantee of forward compatibility, automatically built into the cloud based concept of the operation.
