The problem

Most providers run on inboxes, spreadsheets and memory.

Referrals sit in someone's Outlook. Certificates live in a shared drive. Incentives are chased from a sheet only one person understands. It works, until that person is on holiday, a council asks for evidence, or a certificate lapses.

Forwarded to everyone

Referrals lost in the inbox

Council emails and PDFs arrive all day. Someone has to read, retype and remember every one of them.

Somewhere in the shared drive

Certificates out of date

Gas, electrical and licence expiry dates are tracked by hand, until the day one slips through.

The big spreadsheet

Money nobody can see

Incentives, landlord payments and what each council still owes sit in a sheet that breaks when two people edit it.

Ask the one who knows

Knowledge in one head

Which officer said what, and what was promised to whom, walks out of the door when a person does.

How it works

From the first email to the last payment. Nothing dropped.

Follow one household from the council's referral to the invoice being paid. Every step below is something the platform does today.

Step 1 of 8 · Read and filed

The referral files itself.

Council referrals arrive by email, often with a pack of PDFs. The platform reads them, opens a case and puts it in the queue before anyone has opened Outlook.

  • Follow-ups from the same officer are merged into the same case
  • Safeguarding and lone-working flags raised from the start
  • The council's 56-day duty clock shown on every case

Automation

Your inbox, read for you.

Forward your shared inbox and the platform does the first pass. It reads each email and attachment, works out what it is, and files it to the right home, household or deal. Anything unclear waits under Needs a look, and every filing can be undone.

Housing Options, Northfield CouncilSubject: Referral, family of three, 2 bed needed
Please find attached a referral for Ms A, a household of one adult and two children. They need a two-bedroom home, ideally step-free, near the E17 area for school. Please note the safeguarding concern in section 4.

Bespoke, not boxed

We don't ask your team to change how they work to fit a product. We sit with the sheet they rely on, keep what works, and build the screens around it. When the way you work changes, the platform changes with you.

  • Your stages, your words and your columns
  • Tools made for one job, like a call-out sheet laid out the way your team rings round
  • Your history brought across, so nothing starts from zero
  • Your logo, your colours and your own web address
  • Changes flagged on screen by your team and picked up by ours

Tower Bridge over the Thames at dusk
Where it started

Built on the ground in London, not in a boardroom.

The platform began inside a London housing company that places households for borough councils. Every screen was shaped by the people using it each day, one piece of feedback at a time. That is the standard every new provider gets.

One foundation, three editions

  • A private portal for each council
In design

Supported and recovery housing

Security and data

Built for sensitive records from day one.

Housing records hold health, safeguarding and money details. The platform treats them that way, from the database up.

Hosted in London

Your database and files are stored in London, and the app runs from London too.

Sign-in done properly

Accounts approved by an admin, passwords from known breaches refused, and two-step codes checked right down to the database.

Security on every row

Every table checks who is asking before it answers, so a role holds even if a screen gets it wrong.

A full audit trail

Who changed what, and who opened which client record, kept in a history nobody can edit.

AI that asks first

AI prepares, a person presses Apply, with monthly caps. Our AI provider's terms do not allow training on your data.

Your data, your way out

Export everything whenever you like, under a written data processing agreement.

Working together

From a first call to the tool your team reaches for.

01

Walkthrough

We show you the platform on sample data and listen to how your days actually run.

02

Map it out

We go through your sheets, inboxes and forms together and agree what your first version does.

03

Shape and move in

We build the platform around your process and bring your existing records across.

04

Run and improve

We host, support and keep improving it. Your team flags changes on screen and we act on them.

Questions

What providers ask us.

Anything else, ask it on the walkthrough.

Is this off-the-shelf software?

No. Every provider gets its own platform, shaped around how its team already works. The foundations are proven in daily use, so you are not paying for us to start from nothing, but the screens, words, stages and reports are yours.

We run everything on spreadsheets. Can you bring that across?

Yes, and that is usually where we start. We read your sheets with you, keep the views your team relies on, and bring the history in so nothing is lost on day one. If the team wants to keep its spreadsheet, the platform can read it every morning and stay in step with it.

Who owns the data?

You do. Your data sits in its own database, you can export it whenever you like, and we act only on your instructions as your data processor, under a written data processing agreement.

Where is it hosted?

Your database and files are stored in London, and the app runs from London too. Where AI reads an email or document, that step is handled by our AI provider under terms that do not allow training on your data, and we tell you exactly which features use it.

Can councils and partners see anything?

Only what you choose. A council can have a private link to browse your available homes and put a client forward, and referrers can follow their clients' progress without seeing sensitive details.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. It installs from the browser on any phone or tablet, so the team can check a case, log a viewing or file a certificate from the doorstep.

What happens when we need something new?

Tell us. The team can flag anything on screen and it lands on our board. Small changes go out quickly, and bigger tools are planned with you.

Is it only for temporary accommodation?

Temporary and emergency accommodation is where it was built. The same foundations are being shaped for supported housing, recovery housing and care, where registers, support plans, rotas and outcomes matter most.

Book a walkthrough

Bring us your spreadsheet.

A short call, your screen and ours. We show you the platform on sample data and ask how your team works today. Pricing is shaped around your team and the tools you choose, so we talk it through once we understand what you need.
