BRIK: Core Housing Processes_

Enabling housing associations to build thriving communities by delivering efficient, tenant-focused solutions. Streamline and enhance your housing management so your residents can live better.

What is the Core Housing Processes module?

The Core Housing Processes module by BRIKHousing simplifies how housing associations handle interactions with residents, communities and stakeholders. With this module, you can equip your team with the tools they need to respond to every encounter, from general questions and complaints to anti-social behaviour (ASB).

Accurate and comprehensive records of every interaction – across emails, texts, phone calls and letters – are kept centrally, making it easy for you to quickly access key information. This module will help you to maintain regulatory compliance and ensure that no question or complaint gets lost in the shuffle. Every resident receives the prompt, professional care they deserve as this module automates communication processes and offers proactive prompts.

Make the most of Microsoft Dynamics 365 by implementing Core Housing Processes and exceed performance targets, increase resident happiness and streamline operations.

Why use BRIKHousing Core Housing Processes?

At BRIKHousing, we can see that the needs of housing associations are changing. Contemporary residents want faster, seamless communication, and they deserve to live in communities that are thoughtfully managed. The Core Housing Processes module ensures that residents’ queries are resolved faster, no matter the mode of contact.

We don’t believe in adding complexity and complications; we offer a simple, useful solution that combines bulk emails, WhatsApp and SMS. This module was created to give housing associations the resources they need to meet the evolving needs of their tenants. After implementing, you can expect enhanced collaboration across your teams, data consistency and higher efficiency, enabling your organisation to deliver a seamless, responsive resident experience.

How we deploy the solution_

We find that every housing association is unique and benefits from a individualised 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 vision for the future.

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 because 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.
