Example: real estate & property management platform for a tourism business in Zagreb
Consider a tourism company in Zagreb (tech startups, banks and government). A typical real estate & property management platform engagement would start with listings portal, then crm, and finish the first release with booking & payment plans — usually within 12–18 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR, and success would be measured on direct booking share, occupancy and guest satisfaction.
Example: real estate & property management platform for a gaming business in Dubrovnik
Consider a gaming company in Dubrovnik (luxury tourism and travel services). A typical real estate & property management platform engagement would start with property management, then owner portal, and finish the first release with tokenization — usually within 12–18 weeks.

EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a real estate & property management platform
Before launch in Croatia, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Croatia customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Croatia.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for a real estate & property management platform in Croatia
For clients in Croatia we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
