Greater Manchester-based housing provider, Trafford Housing Trust, has selected Kirona to facilitate smarter working by implementing dynamic resource scheduling across its full scale repairs and maintenance team, as part of ambitious growth plans which will see 2,000 new properties built within the next five years.
Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) from Kirona enables Trafford Housing Trust to proactively blend both planned and appointed work across its entire service.
With operatives carrying out repairs such as electrical, plumbing and joinery, the system ensures that the most appropriate operative is selected for each job. This minimises downtime with a view to increasing productivity by up to 25%, and the customer experience is also improved as the best person for the job is always selected first, based on the worke's location, skills and availability.
Trafford Housing Trust is also using Kirona's business intelligence software; InfoSuite, which provides Trafford Housing Trust a holistic view of operations in real-time and delivers performance data to inform future service delivery, based on business intelligence.
