We typically start with developer crm and add tokenization as the product matures. Progress is tracked on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.
Real Estate & PropTech for Remittances in Colombia
Remittances businesses in Colombia building real estate & PropTech platforms usually need high approval rates, local payment methods, payouts and automated reconciliation.

Example: real estate & PropTech software for a fintech business in Barranquilla
Consider a fintech company in Barranquilla (port logistics and caribbean trade). A typical real estate & PropTech software engagement would start with developer crm, then property management, and finish the first release with tokenization — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through PSE, data would be handled under Law 1581 of 2012, and success would be measured on onboarding completion rate, time to approve an application and fraud loss rate.
