Salix Homes has scooped a national award in recognition of its digital customer portal and are awarded 'Digital Landlord of the Year' at the UK Housing Awards 2020.
The Salford-based social landlord picked up the prestigious accolade thanks to its innovative online services platform - 'MySalix'.
The new and improved MySalix digital portal was launched in October 2019. It enables customers to easily manage their tenancy at the click of a button or tap of a phone.
It includes an innovative chat-bot and webchat, which means that tenants can save time booking repairs.
The launch of MySalix followed a transformation of the organisation's IT infrastructure to allow the housing provider to meet the demands of the modern world.
The first ever virtual UK Housing Awards were held on Thursday, 3 December.
