Real estate system with automatic data import (XML → MySQL)

A comprehensive real estate listing system with fully automated data import from CRM. I created a proprietary backend, XML parsing module, integration logic, and an administration panel that enabled the management of extensive listing categories and real-time filtering.

Project Description

For IdeaInvest, I developed a dedicated real estate management system that enabled the automatic download and processing of data supplied from an external CRM program in XML format. The entire system was built from the ground up – from the backend layer, through the relational database, to the user interface.

I created a proprietary XML parser in PHP that periodically (cron) downloaded data, verified its accuracy, and assigned records to the appropriate tables in the MySQL database. The system supported various listing types – apartments, houses, plots, commercial units, for sale, and for rent – ​​along with their parameters, photos, and metadata.

I also designed an administration panel (CMS) enabling listing management, filtering, searching, and editing data. The front-end layer was designed to be lightweight and responsive to ensure fast performance and ease of use on mobile devices. The project also included server configuration, performance optimization, and preparing the environment for automatic data updates.
