Building Permit Intelligence
Commercial and residential permit filings by ZIP—surfaced before broad MLS visibility, tied to territory ownership.
Integrated outbound
Every paid tier includes owner lookup, postcards, and handwritten-style letters from the same credit ledger. Standard outreach does not need a separate mail vendor.
- 1 credit — owner lookup
- 5 credits — LLC owner lookup
- 4 credits — 4×6 postcard
- 5 credits — handwritten-style letter

The Ziplytica difference
Ziplytica is built on four pillars that competitors typically handle as separate tools:
Territory Control
Shared, Premier, and Exclusive seats. Claims stay inside your brokerage, so the team knows who is working each lead.
Workflow Execution
Discover, claim, look up the owner, and send a postcard or letter from the same record.
Tier Packaging
Shared, Premier, and Exclusive ZIP seats with monthly credits for owner lookup, postcards, and handwritten letters — mail from the same record, without a separate vendor.
In this snapshot, Ziplytica is rare in pairing all four. Most competitors specialize in one layer—property search, lead generation, or market data—leaving teams to stitch permit-to-outreach workflows manually.
