Transforming Tenant Experience Through Digital Innovation

Why connected systems, automation, and accessible design are now essential to reversing declining satisfaction and meeting regulatory expectations.

Legacy Systems, Rising Friction

Outdated and fragmented systems create delays, duplication, and inconsistent communication, directly depressing Tenant Satisfaction Measures. Scores for listening (TP06) and keeping tenants informed (TP07) suffer, and overall satisfaction has fallen to a median of ~70%, down from >80% five years ago. With the Social Housing (Regulation) Act mandating published performance and proactive inspections, and Awaab’s Law imposing strict damp and mould timelines, the operational cost of poor digital foundations is growing: higher complaints, compliance risk, and frustrated tenants.

Proactive, Tenant-Centred Operations

Digital transformation enables a shift from reactive workflows to proactive, tenant-focused journeys. Connected systems reduce handoffs and errors, streamline processes, and create a consistent experience. Freed from manual administration, teams can focus on complex cases and service quality. In a market where satisfaction is under pressure, digital maturity becomes a clear differentiator.

Connecting the Stack, Scaling the Experience

  • Unified portals: Bring rent, repairs,

  • complaints, and communications into

  • a single, intuitive space.

  • CRM integration: Provide a single tenant view so every interaction is informed and consistent.

  • Predictive analytics & IoT: Detect damp and mould early to meet Awaab’s Law timelines and prevent escalation.

  • Cloud & automation: Eliminate manual rekeying, standardise workflows, and evidence compliance in real time.

  • Accessible design: Mobile-first interfaces, plain language, and inclusive features ensure every tenant can self-serve.

Higher Satisfaction, Lower Risk

Landlords that connect systems and standardise digital journeys see fewer complaints, clearer communication, and improved TSM scores, while reducing compliance risk and operating cost.
The result is a resilient operating model that listens, informs, and acts promptly at scale.
