dedicated Agent Totals calculation hardware to optimize darwin

What Are Agent Performance Totals?

In darwin.Cloud, Agent Totals provide a comprehensive view of a real estate agent’s productivity. These totals consist of:

1. Total Detail Records:
   • Calculations specific to each property sold by the agent, based on metrics defined uniquely by each client.
2. Agent Total:
   • A cumulative sum of all Total Detail Records for properties sold by the agent within a given date range.

These totals are vital for tracking key metrics like commissions, sales volumes, and other custom performance indicators.

The Old Way: Doing All the Math, Every Time

Every time an agent sold a house, darwin.Cloud used to recalculate every individual transaction (we call these "Total detail records") for the agent. Once all the individual calculations were done, we would sum them up to update the agent’s overall performance total, or "Agent Total." This approach worked well but became slower as agents closed more and more deals.

The Challenge: The Old Approach

Previously, whenever an agent closed a sale:

1. We recalculated every Total Detail Record for all properties the agent sold within the date range.
2. We summed up these recalculated details to update the Agent Total.

Issues with the Old Approach:

• Resource-Intensive: Recalculating every Total Detail Record, even for properties that hadn’t changed, placed unnecessary computational load on the system.
• Slower Performance: The time required to process and update totals increased as the number of sold properties grew.
• Impact on Overall System Speed: The additional load slowed down other operations, particularly during high-activity periods.

The New Way: Only Calculating What’s Needed

Now, when an agent sells a house, we’ve streamlined the process. Instead of recalculating all the Total detail records, we only calculate the detail for the house being sold. Then, we add this new calculation to the existing records and update the Agent Total by simply summing this new value with the previous total.

The Solution: Our New Approach

To make darwin.Cloud faster and more efficient, we’ve re-engineered how we handle Agent Performance Totals. Here’s how it works now:

1. Calculating Only What’s Necessary:
   • When an agent closes a new sale, we calculate the Total Detail Record for that specific property only.
2. Appending New Details:
   • Instead of recalculating all prior Total Detail Records, we simply append the new Total Detail Record to the existing records.
3. Updating the Agent Total:
   • The Agent Total is updated by adding the value of the newly appended Total Detail Record to the existing sum.
   • This avoids re-summing all prior records.

Why This Makes darwin.Cloud Faster

1. Reduced Computation:
   • By focusing only on the new sale, we eliminate the need to recalculate unchanged Total Detail Records, dramatically reducing the amount of data processed.
2. Optimized System Resources:
   • Computational resources that were previously tied up in recalculations are now freed up, improving overall system performance.
3. Scalability:
   • As agents sell more properties, the new approach ensures that performance remains consistent, regardless of the number of prior Total Detail Records.
4. Faster Updates:
   • The process of appending and summing a single new record is significantly faster than recalculating an entire dataset, reducing update times for Agent Totals.

How This Benefits You

For our clients, this enhancement delivers several key advantages:

1. Faster System Performance:
   • Whether generating reports, inputting data, or running analytics, darwin.Cloud now responds more quickly.
2. Improved User Experience:
   • Updates to Agent Totals happen seamlessly in the background, ensuring smoother workflows for all users.
3. Greater Efficiency:
   • The new approach allows darwin.Cloud to handle more users and transactions simultaneously, even during peak activity.
4. Future-Proof Design:
   • As your business grows and your agents close more sales, darwin.Cloud is now better
