Digital Transformation and IT Teams

The social housing sector is undergoing digital transformation with huge investments in websites, customer apps, portals or hubs.

However, a self service approach is the best way to increase tenant engagement and increase efficiency.

We have identified 8 answers to the question: ‘If you built it, will they come?’ You can download our white paper here.

One of the key barriers is when tenants do not have a digital device they can use for housing related activity. This is a particular challenge for older people and other higher needs groups.

Alertacall can provide digital touchscreens free of charge, eliminating digital poverty at a stroke. These work without the need for WiFi and dramatically accelerate engagement levels.

There are several inbuilt apps that cover repairs reporting, antisocial behaviour reporting and tenant surveying. You can also provide links to your own portal.

There is even a flexible messaging capability to highlight the benefits of self-service, notify people of any changes and encourage them to engage.

If you would like to know more please contact us.
