Keep reps in one field workflow for claiming, updating, and closing out lead status.
Focus on filed permits and pre-listing activity rather than competing only in public portal traffic.
Track team execution by territory, not by disconnected tools.
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.
Yes. Zillow and Ziplytica serve overlapping real estate users, but Ziplytica is focused on territory ownership and field-ready ZTM execution on building permit activity rather than only search or listing visibility.
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.
Ziplytica combines territory controls, building permit prioritization, and contact unlock workflow in one system, which reduces tool switching and preserves team accountability.
Exclusive seats are first-claim, first-lock. Once a seat is full, that lane stays closed until capacity opens.
