What is the alternative to OneRoof Pro for New Zealand commercial prospecting?
OneRoof, NZME's property portal, is a listing and estimates site with agent tools, so the alternative for commercial prospecting is a tool that finds occupiers rather than buyers browsing listings. Scayled is one. From an address it lists every business around the property and businesses across New Zealand whose operations fit its size, use and type, finds the person who decides at each, drafts the email, and tracks each occupier for signs it will need space. Keep OneRoof for exposure to people already searching, and Cotality's Property Guru for ownership and sales. Owners with one vacancy can use The Campaign.

What is OneRoof, and is there a OneRoof Pro?
OneRoof is a New Zealand property portal launched by NZME in 2018 and fully owned by NZME since 2023. It carries residential, rural and commercial listings for sale and lease, businesses for sale, property estimates, sold data and news.
There is no product called OneRoof Pro on OneRoof's own site. Agents use the OneRoof Advantage app to manage listings, upgrade exposure, follow a dashboard and sales reports, and promote an agent profile. Searches for OneRoof Pro usually mean these agent tools.
Keep OneRoof for listing exposure and estimates. Buyers and tenants without a broker browse it.
Why is a portal not enough for commercial leasing?
A portal reaches people who are already searching. Many businesses that would suit a commercial property are not: they do not yet know they will need space, or they renew by default because moving is hard.
Reaching them means going to them, with the property as the reason. That needs a list of the right businesses and the person who decides at each, which a portal does not provide.
How does Scayled work for NZ commercial brokers?
From a single address, a Listing Scan produces the surrounding businesses, the person who decides at each and a drafted email per business. A Target Scan then searches all of New Zealand for businesses whose operations suit the property's size, use and type, so an Auckland industrial warehouse can be matched with a Christchurch distributor planning a northern site.
From there, every occupier is watched for hiring, contract wins, new sites, funding and lease events on a map and a feed, the signs that it will need space. It all stays in your own Occupier Database, with emails sent from your own inbox.
What else should NZ brokers compare?
Trade Me Property and realestate.co.nz are the other listing portals with commercial sections. Cotality's Property Guru covers ownership, title and sales, with published plans from NZ$189.75 a month. LinkedIn helps research named people.
Use each for its job: portals for inbound, Cotality for ownership, Scayled for occupiers.
What if you only have one property?
With only one property to fill, The Campaign (/campaign) is the done-for-you option, paid once with no subscription. The deliverable is a list of the businesses most likely to lease or buy it, from the area around it and the wider market, with who decides at each, the ones showing signs of needing space marked, and the emails already written. Focused covers the strongest 100 to 150 businesses from US$449 in about 3 days, Full covers 250 to 350 for US$749 in about 5 days, and We Send It For You (+US$299) has Scayled send from one mailbox the client adds on their company email, with replies landing with the client.
Begin at /campaign, which defaults to the owner view, or look at a sample campaign at /campaign/demo first.
