Housing

We know housing is one of your biggest challenges in local government. Let us help you ditch those out of date legacy systems and embrace digital technology that truly puts people at the heart.

How we can help

  • Implement a user-centred housing repairs service
    We’ve built an open source integrated product that lets your tenants report their housing repair and book an appointment online. Bring us on board and we can implement it quickly and affordably reducing demand on your call centres.
  • Modernise legacy applications
    We’ll help you to modernise legacy applications that no longer work, so you can reduce costs, improve services and level up your team’s capabilities.
  • Drive smarter decisions with data
    Understand your organisation’s ability to use data, what capabilities you need and how realising the potential hidden in your data can help citizens live safer, happier and healthier lives.
  • Agile coaching and improved technology skills
    Helping councils use ways of working and modern technology so you can continually improve your housing services and deliver value to citizens fast and effectively.
  • Accelerate digital service delivery
    We’ll show you how user-centric digital services can support your local authority at every point in the delivery lifecycle, from discovery through to running live services.

We’ve made a new SaaS product for residents to report housing repairs

We’ve built a new SaaS (software as a service) product that lets residents report their housing repair needs to their local authority. It takes about 5 minutes for a resident to use. We’ve built this to help local authorities all over the UK improve the housing repairs services they provide to their residents, while saving time and money at the same time.
