How we deploy the solution_

We find that every housing association is unique and benefits from an individual approach. We start by learning about your specific challenges and community goals, so we can ensure that the Core Housing Processes module is perfectly aligned with your future vision.

Our effective implementation approach works in sprints, which guarantee a speedy delivery and development.

Many of our clients are surprised by how quickly they start to see the benefits. In the past they’ve suffered through slow, complex and bloated integrations. We collaborate closely with your teams at every stage, from planning and discovery to deployment and support, to guarantee a seamless transition and effective adoption.

“The collaboration by all parties has been excellent and great to see, the new solution and ways of working lay the foundations for improving our service to our customers. This was a complex implementation with tight timescales and was challenging at times, however you all rose to the challenge. I know it has meant some long hours along the way, but your efforts are very much appreciated.
