Digitally connect with your customers, in a simple, effective way

Social Housing providers are looking for ways to interact with customers in the most simple, cost efficient ways that meet the demand for instant communication and 24/7 services. SMS Messaging can improve your customer service and reduce your costs, as texts cost pennies rather than pounds.

Our two-way SMS text messaging solution is a great starting point for your digital transformation journey and can be extended to tenant portals, smartphone apps, email, and social media.

SMS text messaging can be sent from your Housing Management system for everything from balance statements, rent reminders, service updates and appointment bookings. You can send ad-hoc, scheduled or automated two-way SMS messaging with multiple language options. All modules are fully integrated and can be adopted as and when required. A powerful, single database containing data feeds from your back-office systems ensures all your customer information is consistent, whichever digital channel the customer uses.
