The Challenge
Equipping 7,000+ Agents with Consistent, High-Quality Brand Assets
Douglas Elliman needed a centralized solution to manage the ordering of branded merchandise and promotional items, including:
- Agent wearables

The program continues to evolve as Douglas Elliman grows, delivering scalable infrastructure that supports agent success and brand leadership in the highly competitive real estate market.
