Case Study

Emerge Home Services

A connected digital and operational ecosystem for home services, real estate, agent websites, internal management and customer-facing tools.

Project focus

A scalable system for a growing business with websites, agents, CRM data and internal workflows.

For Emerge Home Services, BurkeMedia helped build a connected digital and operational ecosystem designed to support growth across home services, real estate, agent websites, internal management and customer-facing online tools.

The work focused on creating a more centralized platform instead of relying on disconnected websites, logins and databases. SuiteCRM became the business dashboard, while WordPress powered public-facing sites and agent web experiences.

  • Industry: Real Estate & Property Management
  • Services: CRM setup, web development, API integration, WordPress plugins and single sign-on.
  • Core goal: connect internal data, agent websites and staff workflows through one stronger digital system.
  • Key platform pieces: SuiteCRM, WordPress, OAuth2, API troubleshooting, subdomains, DNS and custom login flows.

CRM foundation

SuiteCRM became the central dashboard for the business.

A major part of the project involved setting up and customizing SuiteCRM as a central source of truth for company data, users, contacts, agents and operational workflows.

Internal system

Company data in one place

The CRM was designed to help organize important business information so staff could manage users, contacts, agents and operational details from a more centralized dashboard.

Operational workflow

Built to reduce disconnected tools

Instead of managing information across separate systems, the project created a foundation where the CRM could support public websites, staff workflows and future platform growth.

WordPress integration

Agent information could flow from SuiteCRM into WordPress.

BurkeMedia worked on connecting SuiteCRM with WordPress so information could move between the internal dashboard and public-facing websites. This included syncing agent information from SuiteCRM into WordPress, helping agent profiles and related website content stay easier to manage.

The broader Emerge Realtors / agent website network concept allowed individual agents to have their own WordPress-powered websites while staying connected to the larger Emerge system.

  • Agent names mapped from SuiteCRM into WordPress.
  • Agent bios, phone numbers, emails and license numbers supported.
  • Website URLs and profile photos could be connected to public-facing pages.
  • The system reduced duplicate updates and helped keep agent information consistent.

Single sign-on

A smoother bridge between the CRM dashboard and connected WordPress sites.

A major technical piece was the single sign-on experience between SuiteCRM and WordPress. BurkeMedia developed an SSO flow so users could log into their connected WordPress site from inside the SuiteCRM dashboard.

Agent experience

One dashboard, easier access

The SSO flow helped agents and staff move between the CRM and their website tools more easily, reducing friction and making the system feel more connected.

Custom dashboard

Website login from SuiteCRM

The project included custom dashlet work inside SuiteCRM, including a dashboard tool that allowed users to log into their website directly from the CRM.

Infrastructure & troubleshooting

The visible platform depended on careful technical setup behind the scenes.

BurkeMedia also handled technical infrastructure details that helped support multiple connected websites and user roles over time. This included subdomain setup, DNS planning, SuiteCRM installation, API troubleshooting, OAuth2 configuration, WordPress plugin development, custom login paths and security-related setup.

These pieces helped create the foundation for a scalable system where the website network, CRM data and user access could work together as the company grew.

  • SuiteCRM installation and customization
  • API troubleshooting and OAuth2 configuration
  • Custom WordPress plugin development
  • Subdomain, DNS and infrastructure planning
  • Custom login paths and security-related setup
