挑战

Birds on Broad 是宾夕法尼亚州费城学生的住房和室友匹配平台，由理查德·谢尔曼 (Richard Sherman) 创立。该平台旨在解决学生和房东在住房和室友搜索过程中面临的挑战。传统的流程往往很繁琐，潜在的租户和房东必须通过多个平台并面临许多障碍。我们面临的挑战是创建一个统一的平台，简化流程，让租户和房东都更轻松。该平台需要用户友好，允许用户作为个人资料或群组资料的一部分在网站上执行任何操作。它还需要提供一个全面的搜索和过滤系统，用于匹配学生特定标准的租赁。

关于客户

Birds on Broad 主要为宾夕法尼亚州费城坦普尔大学地区的学生提供服务。这些是寻找住房或室友的个人或团体。该平台还为希望将房产出租给学生的房东提供服务。房东可以是个人或公司，他们可以在平台上列出一处或多处房产。该平台旨在满足这两个客户群体的独特需求，提供统一的体验，简化和简化住房和室友搜索流程。

解决方案

Birds on Broad 是使用 Bubble 构建的，Bubble 是一个无代码平台，允许快速开发和迭代功能齐全的 Web 应用程序。该平台允许租客创建一个帐户，开始寻找住房或寻找室友，如果他们有朋友想一起寻找新房子，甚至可以创建一个新群组。该平台提供了一个全面的搜索和过滤系统，用于匹配学生特定标准的租赁，允许用户按每人、每间卧室或总费用缩小结果范围。如果用户发现租金比他们原本能够容纳的空间大，他们就有机会用新室友来填补这些额外的空位。该平台还提供负担能力数据，帮助年轻/缺乏经验的租房者了解预期总成本。对于房东来说，该平台允许他们列出房产、提供常见房产信息以及学生宿舍的独特详细信息。

运营影响

The platform has been successful in providing a unified experience for both prospective renters and landlords. It has removed common barriers that new-to-renting tenants find themselves facing, making the process of finding housing or roommates much simpler and more streamlined. For landlords, the platform provides the ability to correspond with the entire group of renters at once, in one central location. This has made the process of managing and renting out properties much more efficient. The platform also provides suggestions for other properties managed by the same landlord, facilitating rentals to large groups of renters filling multiple properties close together all at once. This has led to increased efficiency and potential for higher rental income for landlords.

数量效益

The platform has received high marks from all user types.
The platform has a modest user base, with plans to increase to 1,500 users by end of 2021, and 5,000+ users by end of year 2022.
The platform also plans to increase the number of properties available to over 500 by the end of 2021.
