Highly bespoke to fulfill your needs
Trusted by local authorities and housing associations nationwide, our Choice-Based Lettings software incorporates ideas and requests from our user community to become a powerful suite. Through our range of modules and add-ons, we can deliver a high spec functionality software. Our project managers will sit down with you to understand your requirements and workflows. This means you do not need to compromise on your requirements: we will work together with you to create a bespoke system that truly matches your demands.

Intelligent automation to make allocations easier
Our intelligent autobid module goes beyond triggering notifications. This module automatically places bids on behalf of the applicant based on criteria previously set up. This ensures that vulnerable clients or those who require help to bid never miss a bidding cycle! You can also configure automated communications & alerts through our communications module.

Intuitive property dashboard
The property dashboard provides housing staff a snapshot summary of all properties in the system and their current status. Automated processes guarantee that the overview is updated in real-time, helping you pin-point the property journey at any point in time, with just one click.

In-depth reporting and full audit options
Our Choice-Based Lettings software can help you audit every action completed in the system, broken down into a range of reports that can be filtered & exported. From all the activities such as the advanced communications module, property data upload, to viewing all housing offers made! You can also create customisable reports across all areas of the system to extract rich information about allocations and bidding.
