Case Study :
Typesetting services for RE/MAX, UK
- Opportunity
RE/MAX is inundated with property information on a regular basis. As a good selling
practice, it required all the real estate data to be formatted in a template which
carried the property information in an organized manner and also retain the organization’s
branding. The project required someone to set them in the standard templates and
return it to their agents in record time along with a high level of accuracy. There
were pre-set templates which required human editing and image re-touching.
- About the Project
With RE/MAX’s large global network of agents, the typesetting project was commissioned
with a full-time team. The pre-sales documentation typesetting work encouraged the
company’s franchisees to put up real estate information on their sales desks within
a few hours of receiving the information. This was made possible with the use of
an offshore team for typesetting services.
Over a period of time, Pi also helped develop a new set of templates which could
be used for different property types. An online system for collaborating with different
offices was also developed during the lifetime of this project.

- Solution
The Pi Business Research team set up a system by which we could finalize the data
updation and formatting of hundreds of documents every day. Our Content, Research,
Design and Quality Control teams were all involved in the process.
The information was checked by the researchers for missing information, when was
then found out through secondary research and updated. The Content team checked
for language errors, formatting issues and style consistency. The final product
was released by the Design team, which was checked by Quality Control then and sent
across to all the respective offices through email.
