Step 01Challenge

A UK District Council managing 4,800 properties and 3,400 housing register applicants was using a manual, paper-based allocation process that was slow, error-prone, and lacked transparency. They needed a digital platform that could automate housing allocations, ensure fairness, and provide real-time visibility to applicants while complying with the Local Government Act and Data Protection regulations.

Step 02Our Approach

Digital Housing Register

Created a digital housing register with online applications, document uploads, and automated eligibility checking.

Automated Allocation Engine

Built a rules-based allocation engine that automatically matches applicants to properties based on priority, eligibility, and location preferences.

Applicant Portal

Developed a self-service portal where applicants can check their position, update their details, and view property offers.

Reporting Dashboard

Built a real-time dashboard for council staff to monitor allocations, waiting lists, and key performance indicators.

Step 03Results
Allocation time reduced from 14 days to 3 days.
Manual data entry reduced by 95%.
Applicant satisfaction increased from 45% to 82%.
Transparency improved with real-time tracking.
Staff productivity increased by 70%.
Complaints reduced by 60%.

Client Testimonial

"

This platform has completely transformed how we manage housing allocations. What used to take weeks now happens in days. Our applicants can track their progress, and our staff can focus on helping people rather than pushing paper.
