Helping you to manage the team
RentSense helps you to keep track of your team, their workload, their challenges and their overall performance, in terms of income generation and in terms of cases completed or actioned.
With RentSense, you can review workload by individual or by patch, reconfiguring either as caseloads vary. As a manager, you can check in at any point to see if team members are on track, or in need of management support.
More capacity within the team
Organisations who have opted for RentSense are finding that the system frees up capacity, allowing individuals to manage more cases, and to offer tenants who need assistance more of their time.
Joined up system
RentSense gathers data on an individual basis. So, for example, the system logs whether or not a tenant is paying rent from a regular UC payment. Rules can then be set up which trigger automatic texts (via RentText) to such tenants, timed to coincide with the receipt of their UC. These texts prompt rent payment, and improve collection rates.
Helps with Breathing Space
RentSense also automatically flags tenants who should not be contacted, as they are taking advantage of the Breathing Space legislation, in England and Wales. In both cases, the system holds the knowledge and takes account of the legislation, so that individual team members adhere to regulations as they go about their daily work.
