Orchard, Castleton and Housing Partners have come together as part of MRI Software to form MRI Social Housing – the broadest single-provider solution set in the social housing sector.
MRI Software is a leading provider of web-based solutions for housing associations and local authorities in the UK and Ireland. Through the comprehensive suite of customer-focused products and applications that form our MRI Social Housing offering, we deliver flexibility, choice and scale to more than 850 clients in the region. We are committed to transforming tenants lives and experiences, and it’s our goal to become the trusted technology partner of choice for the sector.
The need for the Social Housing sector to deliver the best housing solutions and services to some of the most vulnerable in society has never been greater. Demand for suitable social housing continues to outstrip supply and the focus on building stronger, two-way relationships between housing providers and tenants has been sharpened during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Whilst the priority for providers is to provide the best services possible to tenants, this is underpinned and influenced by many variables: tighter regulations; need for greater efficiency; evolving business models; sector consolidation; integration and data challenges to name some of the key ones. Organisations are looking at all aspects of their operations to drive towards these goals and this is where technology is playing an increasingly critical role.
The MRI Social Housing solution set consists of the following:
Housing Management – Technology that brings together your tenants, their homes, your workforce and the wider community. From housing management systems to safeguarding the most vulnerable.
