Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The Housing Britain Property Management Software project aimed to develop a comprehensive, end-to-end platform that automates all aspects of property management. The project was a multi-year effort that spanned almost five years, during which Ai Web Solutions continuously enhanced the software to meet evolving business needs and integrate advanced features.
The project was designed to improve operational efficiency, streamline workflows, and provide a user-friendly experience for property managers, landlords, and tenants alike. Below is a detailed scope of work and a summary of key deliverables for the project:
- Key Deliverables:
- Centralized Property Management System:
- Deliverable: A central system for managing property portfolios, including tenant, landlord, and property data.
- Details: The core of the software was designed to store and manage a wide range of property-related information. This included property details (e.g., address, property size), tenant and landlord profiles, and rental agreements. The system allows property managers to quickly access all relevant data on a single platform, improving information management and reducing manual record-keeping.
- HR Management System:
- Deliverable: An integrated HR module to manage staff operations.
- Details: The HR management system was designed to handle staff schedules, holiday requests, and training programs. The system ensured that employee schedules were aligned with operational needs, taking departmental requirements into account. It also tracked employee performance and facilitated employee training, ensuring that all HR activities were organized and recorded in one place.
- Tenant Issue Reporting and Job Allocation:
- Deliverable: A tenant portal for reporting maintenance issues, with automated job allocation to service providers.
- Details: One of the system's most valuable features was the ability for tenants to report maintenance issues directly through the platform. These reports were automatically allocated to the relevant service providers (e.g., electricians, plumbers, contractors) based on the nature of the issue. This automated process helped property managers respond to maintenance requests efficiently, ensuring timely resolution and tenant satisfaction.
- Document Management and Compliance:
- Deliverable: Automated document tracking and reminders for regulatory compliance.
- Details: The system was built to track and manage important documents like gas and electric certificates, rental agreements, and inspection reports. Built-in reminders were set up to notify property managers and relevant parties of upcoming document renewals or inspection deadlines, ensuring compliance with safety and legal regulations. This feature greatly reduced the risk of missed deadlines or expired certifications.
- Contract Management System:
- Deliverable: Automated contract management with digital signatures and secure document storage.
- Details: The system facilitated the creation, distribution, and signing of contracts with tenants, landlords, and service providers. Contracts could be digitally signed and securely stored within the platform, streamlining the contract management process. In addition, the system enforced deadlines for contract signing, ensuring that contracts were completed before any access to work functions or property services.
- Internal Communication Tools:
- Deliverable: Integrated internal communication system for staff.
- Details: The software included a WhatsApp-like chat system to enable quick and efficient internal communication between staff members. This allowed different departments to collaborate more effectively, fostering better teamwork and reducing the time spent on email correspondence.
- Real-Time Dashboards and Reporting:
- Deliverable: Real-time dashboards and customisable reporting features.
- Details: The system was equipped with powerful data visualisation tools that allowed property managers to generate real-time reports on financial performance, maintenance requests, tenant occupancy rates, and other critical metrics. These dashboards provided a high-level overview of the portfolio's health, enabling data-driven decision-making.
- Centralized Property Management System:
- Development Phases and Timeline:
