Editor's Notes
Our digital customer platform will be the most comprehensive landlord-tenant management system in the UK, capable of handling all transactions and supporting our customers.
Customers can apply for properties, complete sign up, make a payment to their rent account (and an advance payment when signing up if required), view their transaction history and report a repair. Customers can also access our Help and Advice section, a comprehensive library covering all aspects of living in a YHG property.
Office consolidation.
Tenancy harmonisation – more than 80 different T&Cs into one (50% target reached in six months).
In-house repairs for more control, responsive service.
Mobile technology that breaks down geographic barriers and provides more responsible, agile working.
The new model will enable us to better manage our assets within the housing sector’s increasingly commercial environment. The approach will mean we can respond and flex to meet the future needs of the business in a scalable way as our asset base shifts. The introduction and development of our digital products will enhance our relationships with customers, making interaction an efficient, personalised and effortless experience.
