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 on our Choice-Based Lettings software 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 the housing manager or officer pin-point the property journey at any point in time, with just one click.
In-depth reporting and full audit options
This Choice-Based Lettings software audits every action in the system, broken down into a range of reports that can be filtered & exported. From all the activities from the advanced communications module, properties 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.
