The organisation has also announced that Cathcart and District Housing Association is now live with Designer Software’s Web Based HomeMaster Housing Solution.
Cathcart and District Housing Association is based in Glasgow and manages in excess of 1,200 units, including factored properties.
Christine Leitch CEO said: “As an organisation, we were determined to benefit from the facilities that modern technology affords and implement a system for the digital age. Designer Software’s revolutionary Web Based HomeMaster system met this objective.
“The process of changing from our old windows-based server system has been extremely smooth, and the commitment from the project team at Designer Software has been exemplary. The staff find the system intuitive, and the ability to have access to the system on any device, irrespective of location, will certainly improve productivity.
“A significant aspect of the system is that HomeMaster will produce information from the system which relates directly to the format required for our ARC submissions.”
Cathcart and District Housing Association said that of particular benefit to it has been the efficiencies gained by its main contractor’s adoption of HomeMaster and the implementation of the innovative functionality which drives the recharging of costs to owner occupiers and real time recording of information relating to repairs and maintenance projects.
Ian Thompson, CEO from Designer software, said: “Working with Cathcart who is clearly a forward-thinking organisation has been highly rewarding. We commenced training in February, and Cathcart were live in less than eight weeks. This achievement is testament to the close working relationship between our respective organisations, which I have no doubt will deepen in the future.”
