Housing Associations
Advancing community living through digital innovation
Housing Associations
UK Housing Associations are run as not-for-profit organisations, that provide affordable, safe, secure and high-quality homes for individuals and families who may not be able to access housing through the private market.
They operate within a complex regulatory environment, balancing financial sustainability with their social mission and work closely with local authorities and contractors to maintain homes, build new developments, and support tenants, playing a key role in addressing the UK’s housing challenges.
Industry challenges
Unlike other industries, Housing Associations face many external challenges that they often have no control over. Regulatory changes, budget cuts and sustainability goals are all big-ticket items on the agenda that they must adhere to. So, when bringing a project to fruition, how do they ensure they are meeting all the standards set while working harmoniously across their organisation?
How Verto solves these challenges
Data
Keeping up to date with news and information that informs projects, and their outcomes, can only be achieved when you can see the latest information to make justified decisions. Verto keeps information accurate and up-to-date to allow teams more time to assess the external factors affecting their work.
Reports
As with many industries, digital transformation is key to better tracking regulatory requirements, ensuring that standards are met on time and risks can be minimised. Automated reporting tools can also improve transparency and accountability.
Management
Having all your project work centralised enhances your ability to respond to your stakeholders. Improve the organisation of resources and tasks, the visibility of information, and the consolidation of data as it’s all stored in Verto, rather than scattered across different systems.
