How Matta Built a Live Property Database out of Day-to-Day Emails

Matta had thousands of properties on their books, but information for each was scattered across team inboxes meaning that when clients came to them with specific criteria, valuable time was lost trying to track down relevant information. We built them a system that automatically processes their inboxes, extracts key property information and stores it in a database. Now, when a client reaches out, any team member can instantly search through all Matta properties to find relevant matches and then generate a property brochure for client presentations.

A treasure hunt through thousands of emails

When a restaurant group or retail operator came to Matta looking for a site, the team would start searching through their inboxes. Property details lived in forwarded emails from agents, email chains with landlords, and messages scattered across different team members' accounts. Even when they knew a perfect property existed, finding it meant digging through weeks or months worth of correspondence. There was no way to filter by location, size, or current tenant. No way to see at a glance what was available. And once they found promising options, they'd spend more time compiling property details into presentable brochures to share with operators.

An automated AI system to bring everything into one place

We built a system that monitors all employee inboxes, extracts property information wherever it appears, uses AI to turn unstructured information (e.g., email text, website descriptions, attachments) into structured data (e.g., property address, landlord contact details, lease terms), and saves it all into one, centralised database which powers an app all the team can access.

Property information at your fingertips

The team can now browse and filter properties instantly - searching by location, size, availability, or any other criteria - and no longer have to trawl through inboxes for information. When they find properties that match a client’s needs, they can generate polished PDF brochures directly from the system with all the key details formatted and ready to present.
