The Opportunity

Problem

Enterprise teams in commercial real estate avoid mobile-first proptech apps for field operations because they fail to meet required security standards.

Solution

PropVaultMobile provides a secure mobile vault for field teams to capture, encrypt, and share photos/documents with automatic compliance tagging and access controls. Data stays encrypted at rest and in transit, with granular permissions preventing leaks. Enterprise admins audit access in real-time without performance hits.

Target Audience

Enterprise teams in commercial real estate managing field operations

Differentiator

Client-side encryption with user-held keys, ensuring even PropVault can't access data – perfect for GDPR/CCPA in CRE.
