Blocktech Case Study: Technogetic's Real Estate Crowdfunding Platform Solution
This case study explores how Technogetic successfully developed a comprehensive back-office software solution for Blocktech, an innovative real estate crowdfunding platform enabling fractional property ownership. The project delivered a scalable system with robust admin capabilities, intuitive investor dashboards, and a dynamic marketplace for trading property shares.
Client Overview
Blocktech stands at the forefront of democratizing real estate investments through an innovative crowdfunding platform. Their business model fundamentally transforms traditional property investment by breaking down high-value real estate assets into affordable “blocks” or shares that can be purchased by individual investors. This fractional ownership approach eliminates the substantial capital barriers that typically prevent average individuals from participating in the real estate market.
The platform serves two primary purposes: enabling small-scale investors to build diversified real estate portfolios and providing them with multiple streams of returns. Investors who purchase property blocks receive regular passive income through their share of monthly rental proceeds, while simultaneously benefiting from any capital appreciation of the underlying assets. This dual-benefit model makes real estate investment accessible to a significantly broader audience than conventional property ownership
allows.
Blocktech’s vision extends beyond simple accessibility4it aims to create a complete ecosystem where real estate becomes a liquid asset class. By facilitating fractional ownership with the ability to trade shares on their marketplace, they effectively transform traditionally illiquid real estate investments into tradable assets that can be bought and sold with relative ease, creating new opportunities for portfolio management and investment strategies not previously available to retail investors.

The comprehensive scope required Technogetic to develop an end-to-end solution addressing both administrative needs and investor requirements. The project timeline was divided into four development phases, with each deliverable undergoing rigorous quality assurance testing. Special attention was paid to ensuring the platform could scale effectively as Blocktech’s user base expanded, while maintaining the highest standards of data security given the financial nature of the transactions being processed.
Admin Panel Features
The admin panel developed by Technogetic serves as the operational nerve center for Blocktech’s platform, providing administrators with comprehensive control and oversight capabilities. At its core, the dashboard delivers a high-level overview of vital investment analytics and property performance metrics. Administrators can instantly access key platform statistics including total investment volume, user growth rates, property occupancy levels, and yield performances across different asset categories. Interactive data visualization components allow for pattern identification and trend analysis, enabling data-driven decision
making.
The property management system provides administrators with tools to add, modify, and monitor all aspects of listed properties. Each property listing includes detailed information management for specifications, financial projections, ownership distribution, and document repositories. The system incorporates automated valuation models that continuously update property values based on market conditions and comparable sales data, ensuring investors always have access to current valuation
assessments.
To ensure regulatory compliance and effective user management, the centralized CRM system integrates seamlessly with KYC (Know Your Customer) verification services. This integration automates the identity verification process, reducing onboarding friction while maintaining strict compliance with financial regulations. The transaction monitoring component provides real-time tracking of all platform activities, from initial investments to block trades between users, with automated flagging of suspicious patterns to prevent fraud and maintain platform integrity.
Investor Dashboard Features
Investment Analytics
The investor dashboard features comprehensive performance visualizations that provide users with clear insights into their investment portfolio. Interactive charts display critical metrics including:
- Current yield percentages across all property investments.
- Historical return performance with benchmark comparisons
- Portfolio diversity visualization by property type and location
- Projected income streams with monthly and annual forecasts
Market Trends Analysis
Investors gain access to sophisticated market intelligence through the real time trends analyzer which includes:
- Neighborhood-specific price appreciation metrics
- Rental demand indicators for different property categories
- Supply and demand dynamics in the block marketplace
- Comparative performance data against traditional investment vehicles
Transaction History
The platform promotes transparency through a detailed transaction ledger that records:
- Complete history of all purchases, sales, and trades
- Dividend payment records with source property identification
- Tax documentation and reporting for investment income
- Block price evolution charts showing value appreciation
The investor dashboard incorporates customizable alert systems allowing users to set notifications for various market conditions or portfolio events. Users can also run scenario analyses to visualize how different market conditions might affect their investments, enabling more informed decision-making for portfolio adjustments. The intuitive design ensures that even investors with limited technical experience can navigate the platform efficiently while accessing sophisticated financial analytics typically available only to professional investors.
Marketplace Module
The marketplace module represents one of the most innovative aspects of the Blocktech platform, transforming traditionally illiquid real estate investments into tradable digital assets. Technogetic developed a sophisticated trading environment that allows investors to list their property blocks for sale, set their desired price points, and execute transactions with other platform users. This functionality effectively creates a secondary market for real estate shares, enabling investors to adjust their portfolios
without waiting for full property liquidation events.
Secure Block Trading
The secure block listing and trading functionality incorporates multi-factor authentication for all transactions and implements escrow mechanisms that hold funds until all conditions of the trade are verified. Each transaction undergoes
automated verification against anti-money laundering protocols, and the system maintains an immutable audit trail of ownership transfers for regulatory compliance. The trading interface provides real-time order book visibility,
allowing users to see current buy and sell offers before placing their orders.
Commission Management
The automated commission management system calculates and distributes transaction fees based on configurable rate structures. Platform administrators can adjust commission rates
through the admin panel, implementing different fee tiers based on transaction
volume or user activity levels. The system automatically generates commission
reports for accounting purposes and provides users with transparent fee
disclosures prior to transaction confirmation.
Notification System
The real-time notification infrastructure delivers instant alerts across multiple
channels including in-app notifications, email updates, and optional SMS alerts. Users receive immediate confirmation of completed transactions, alerts when their listed blocks receive purchase offers, and notifications when market events affect their investments. The system also provides customizable price alerts when blocks reach user-defined thresholds.
The marketplace module includes sophisticated price discovery mechanisms that help users determine fair market values based on recent transaction history, comparable property performance, and current market demand. By providing this liquidity layer, Blocktech has significantly enhanced the appeal of real estate as an investment class, particularly for investors who value flexibility and the ability to adjust their investment positions in response to changing market conditions or personal financial needs.
Marketplace Module
Technogetic’s technology stack was carefully selected to create a robust foundation for Blocktech’s ambitious platform. The React.js frontend implementation delivered exceptional user experience through a responsive design philosophy, ensuring consistent functionality across devices of all sizes. Componentbased architecture allowed for efficient code reuse and maintenance, while state management through Redux facilitated complex data flows throughout the application without performance degradation.
On the backend, Node.js with Express.js provided the perfect balance of performance and developer productivity. The event-driven, non-blocking I/O model proved ideal for handling numerous concurrent connections 4critical for a platform where users might be simultaneously viewing properties, analyzing investments, and executing trades. RESTful API architecture ensured clean separation between frontend and backend systems, enabling independent scaling and maintenance of each component.
MongoDB was selected as the database solution for its document-oriented structure, which aligned perfectly with the varying property data types and structures that needed to be stored. The schema-less nature of MongoDB allowed for agile development practices, where data models could evolve without extensive migration overhead. Indexing strategies were implemented to optimize query performance, particularly for the high-volume market activity and analytics computations.
For data visualization and analytics, Technogetic integrated advanced tools including D3.js and Chart.js, enabling rich interactive visualizations that help users understand complex financial data at a glance. The entire solution was deployed on AWS infrastructure, utilizing services like Elastic Beanstalk for application deployment, S3 for document storage, CloudFront for content delivery, and RDS for database management.
