Digital Mobile Housing App / Self-Service Tenant Portal

Working with our partner AdaptApps, HousingIS has designed a mobile housing application and a self-service Tenant Portal.
The Tenant Portal enables tenants to:
Submit Online Forms

They can be forms for any type of request for service, all of which are configurable by non-technical staff within the organisation, e.g.:

  • Application for housing.
  • Application for rent subsidy.
  • Log change of circumstances.
  • Repair request.
  • Complaint e.g. anti-social behavior; abandoned car etc.
  • Request a visit from their housing manager.
Easy Access

Functionality

The functionality provided by the HousingIS Tenant Portal on any device splits into 4 main areas:

Simplicity

Simple client account creation by:
  1. Using an email address/password and email confirmation.
  2. Using a social network sign in e.g. Google, Facebook, Microsoft.

Easy access

Online client area where tenants can:
  1. Submit new requests for service.
  2. View service requests in progress (facilities are provided to save requests for later and to view partially completed forms).
  3. View completed forms.
  4. Search for / view all forms provided. – view a history of all submissions
  5. Pre-populate the online forms that tenants complete. using the data captured when tenants create their account.
  6. Track the progress of a tenant request or application including the ability to:
    • View the current stage of the process.
    • See requests for information from the housing organisation.
  7. Upload evidence/documentation that has been requested in support of an online service that is complete and being assessed by the housing organisation.

Workflow

Digital workflow engine to allow:
  1. Staff to set up stages of all service requests e.g. for a housing application the steps might be:
    • Reviewing the form
    • Checking any evidence
    • Making a decision
      • In turn, this can be seen by clients to track the progress of their request.
  2. Request information from the client, which is instantly available in the client’s account meaning staff could technically remove paper-based requests for information entirely across all services.

One view

Customer Services View

This allows customer services staff to:

  1. Search for existing customers / tenants.
  2. Register customers / tenants.
  3. Access client accounts and back office information without needing to login to the back-office housing management transactional system.
  4. Log calls and contacts by service area and by type within that area.
  5. View contact history.
  6. Add note by department / type.
  7. Authenticate a customer for a department on their behalf.
  8. Provide answers on progress tracking.

This functionality ensures that, irrespective of the channel of access, all contacts are held in one place.
