USE CASE:
Proptech companies: the honest take on change detection
Everything below is about one job: change detection for proptech companies, done in a way that survives a list rather than a single lookup. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so Company Change-Event Feed is something you run yourself against your own list of proptech companies.
The problem
Proptech companies and change detection: one at a time is fine, and a list of them is not. Proptech companies sit between agents, landlords and lenders, and each of those is a different sale, and change detection inherits that. One thing change detection on proptech companies rarely accounts for: the company you can see is often a marketplace whose customers are the businesses you actually want. There is 1 runnable example of change detection for proptech companies below.
Traditional Search Tools
- The land registry, for proptech companies. Free in most markets, authoritative on ownership, and it will not tell you who runs the software.
- Your CRM's field history. Salesforce tracks field changes and most people never look. It is free, it is already on, and it only knows about fields your own team edits.
- A warehouse snapshot table. If you have a data team, an append only snapshot answers this permanently and costs almost nothing to store.
- Keep last quarter's export. Export the fields you care about, keep the file, diff it against the next one. It works, and it takes ten minutes per quarter.
