Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Ancilar started with deep consultation sessions. They did not jump into development immediately. Instead, they asked us detailed questions about how we onboard properties, how we verify ownership, how negotiations happen, and how final contracts are handled.

The scope of work included:

Designing a private blockchain system to securely store property records and transaction data.

Developing smart contracts that could automate parts of the sales agreement process once certain conditions were met.

Creating a secure digital verification system for property authenticity and ownership history.

Building a user-friendly dashboard for our agents to manage listings and view blockchain records without needing technical knowledge.

Integrating the blockchain layer with our existing property management platform.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Since implementing the blockchain solution, we have noticed several clear improvements.

First, the verification process for luxury properties is much smoother. Our agents can now provide secure digital proof of ownership history quickly, without long back-and-forth emails.

Second, international buyers have expressed greater confidence when working with us. They appreciate the transparency and the ability to see secure records of the property’s background.

Third, our internal process has become more organized. Instead of storing sensitive information across different systems, everything related to property verification is securely recorded in one trusted environment.

We have also seen more interest from high-end investors who are attracted to the idea of working with a real estate brand that combines Italian tradition with advanced technology.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Ancilar’s project management was professional and structured. They divided the project into clear phases: planning, architecture design, development, testing, and deployment.

They delivered each stage on schedule. When we requested changes or had new ideas, they responded quickly and explained clearly how those changes would affect the timeline. We never felt ignored or left without updates. Regular meetings helped us stay informed and involved in decisions.

During testing, they were patient with our non-technical team members and explained everything in simple language. That made adoption much easier.

What was your primary form of communication with Ancilar?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most was that Ancilar understood both technology and business value. They did not treat blockchain as just a technical project. They constantly asked how it would help our clients, how it would strengthen our brand, and how it would simplify daily work for our agents.

They also respected the luxury nature of our brand. The interface they built was elegant, simple, and aligned with the premium experience we offer. It did not feel overly technical or complicated.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Ancilar could have done differently?

If there is one small area for improvement, it would be to provide more early examples or case studies from similar industries during the first meetings. At the beginning, blockchain felt complex to some of our team members. Seeing more simple real-world examples earlier might have helped everyone feel more comfortable from day one.
