HanzeVast has a usefull RIA ‘aanbod manager‘ to get insight in the buildings that they currently have for sale. It allows you to filter on building type, region, surface and several other criteria. It took me a few tries to get used to the interface, but now I understand it it’s pretty usefull. More comments in the detail of this post.

The best way to walk through the application is by first setting your criteria. Click on ‘soort ruimte’ to select whether you are looking for offices, houses, shop-buildings etc. After that click ‘plaats/regio’ te define the city you want to search for.

You’ll find all applied criterias in the list below the criteria ‘tabs’. There is a nice indication of the number of items that fit to this criteria and you can easilly turn it off or on by clicking on it. As soon as you do that, the ‘thumbnails’ are updated below that.  You can add items to your favorites list by clicking on the arrow that appears below it when you roll over it.

Clicking on a ‘thumbnail’ will give you detailed information on the building.

As said, I think that this is quite a nice RIA that fits in the ‘iokio camera finder‘ category. Unfortunately the interface was not intuitive for me the first time I used it. I am wondering whether it’s me or that others have the same feeling (of course this is critical for the success of the application).

Nevertheless, good score! Developed by Macromedia Alliance Partner theFactor.e.
