PropTech consolidation starts as two high-profile firms form partnership

PropTech start up OneDome, which supplies online booking and mapping tools, has teamed up with live chat service provider Yomdel in what they call a “strategic partnership” to provide services for estate and letting agents.

OneDome was founded in April 2016 by Babek Ismayil and has obtained over £3m of funding from high net worth investors including David Giampaolo, the chief executive of Pi Capital.

It currently provides consumers with mapping tools enable them to compare areas to live by postcode. The Locality Reality app does this by scoring postcodes based on seven key criteria, including education, safety, noise, grocery, lifestyle and transport.

Yomdel provides 24/7 managed live chat for estate agents and property-related businesses.

It was founded in 2014 by Andy Soloman and now provides managed live chat for over 2,000 UK estate agency branches and conducting over 20,000 monthly chats on client’s behalf.

“We’re incredibly excited to be teaming up with such a long-trusted digital supplier for estate agents. There is a natural synergy between OneDome and Yomdel as both businesses are passionate in striving to modernise estate agency websites with innovative digital technology” says Babek Ismayil, founder and chief executive of OneDome. 

“Given both companies have common commitment to providing the highest quality leads, a streamlined service and a demonstrative ROI, it’s a natural alliance” explains Tim Bredon, Yomdel managing director.
