Does this sound familiar?

Most maintenance services report performance. Fewer understand it.

These are the situations this platform is built for. If you recognise any of them, you’re in the right place.

This platform exists to close that gap.

Your repairs performance looks fine on paper but the service feels like it’s under pressure
Your TSMs are green but complaint satisfaction sits at 35% — the lowest measure in the sector
Your operatives are busy but your backlog isn’t clearing and nobody can explain why
You’re spending more on subcontractors and materials but outcomes aren’t improving
You’re being asked to provide assurance on your service but you don’t fully trust the data
You’re thinking about insourcing your repairs but nobody has asked the hard questions yet
Awaab’s Law Phase 2 is coming and your team hasn’t operationalised it beyond damp and mould

Who built this

Built by people who have run these services. Giving something back to a sector they care about.

This platform isn’t built by a software company. It’s built by two practitioners with decades of operational experience in social housing maintenance — people who have dealt with the same pressures you’re dealing with right now.

Why it’s free We’ve spent careers in this sector. These tools exist because we wanted to give something practical back — not behind a paywall, not requiring a demo call. Just useful things, free to use, by anyone who needs them.
