Where Ziplytica wins for operators

Permits refresh daily from municipal feeds—your queue updates while list vendors cycle bulk data.

Firston Sight pulls current distress filings (pre-foreclosure, tax delinquent, vacant, probate, liens) into Leads with contacts—Add, claim, and call without exporting.

Duel Signal flags permit + distress on the same property so your team works the highest-intent lead first.

Use one platform for permit queue, FoS Adds, claim ownership, and contact enrichment.

Keep reps productive in the field with installable PWA support.

Give managers a single dashboard for activity and performance tracking.

Positioning note: Ziplytica is one of the few platforms designed around a field-usable ZTM pipeline workflow layered directly on top of territory operations and building permit queues.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ziplytica an alternative to Estated?

Yes—for brokerages that care about speed, not another spreadsheet. Estated and Ziplytica serve overlapping users, but Ziplytica is a territory-first speed platform: daily building-permit refresh on owned ZIPs, Firston Sight on-demand distress Adds with owner contacts, Duel Signal when permit and distress align, and field-ready ZTM execution.

Does Ziplytica include distress leads?

Yes—through Firston Sight (Ziplytica’s distress / seller-motivation product). Pull pre-foreclosure, tax-delinquent, vacant, probate, REO, auction, and lien properties for ZIPs you own, with owner contacts included, and Add them straight to your team queue. We do not claim deeper national distress coverage than bulk list vendors; we claim faster, territory-scoped action.

Can agents run the ZTM in the field?

Yes. Ziplytica is designed for field execution. Agents can work opportunities, add notes, update statuses, and move records through workflow from mobile and desktop in one operating layer.

Your ZIP can be claimed while you compare tools.

Exclusive seats are first-claim, first-lock. Once a seat is full, that lane stays closed until capacity opens.
