IBS OpenSystems has launched version 8.0 of its OpenHousing housing management system, with added emphasis on new tools to support the processes needed to achieve the Decent Homes standard.
OpenHousing v8.0 also includes new modules for the real-time monitoring of workloads and performance, and SMS texting for tenant communications, such as payment arrears or choice-based lettings, to reduce the need for time-consuming and expensive postal mailings. The existing document management, tenant satisfaction and debt management functions have also been improved in the new version of the software.
