SOLUTIONS  /  HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS/ resident casework, on time

Every resident case, handled like it's the only one.

Complaints, repairs escalations, damp and mould, anti-social behaviour — Hendl's agents run every case to the Ombudsman's clock and your policies, with vulnerable residents flagged first and a record the regulator can read.

Your teams care. The caseload doesn't.

Housing officers didn't join to chase contractors and rebuild case histories. The service residents feel — and the Ombudsman measures — is mostly coordination, and coordination is what agents do.

TODAY
Complaint stages are tracked in spreadsheets against the Code
Officers rebuild property and contact history for every case
Contractor chasing eats the week between updates
Vulnerable households surface late, or not at all
Ombudsman requests mean days of file reconstruction
WITH HENDL
Every complaint tracked against Ombudsman timescales, with escalation
Property, repairs and contact history pulled into the case automatically
Contractors chased and appointments tracked without officer time
Vulnerability flags applied at intake and carried across every case
Any case file reconstructable in minutes, citable end to end

Every case type, run to policy and the clock.

Encode your complaints procedure, repairs standards and escalation routes once — agents run every case against them, property by property, resident by resident.

Case intake

Reports and complaints captured from phone, portal, email or in person — acknowledged on time.

Complaint-handling clocks

Stage one and two timescales tracked per case, with escalation before breach.

Property history

Repairs, surveys and prior reports assembled per property and household.

Contractor coordination

Jobs raised, appointments tracked and contractors chased to completion.

Vulnerability flags

Household risk factors surfaced at intake and prioritised across the queue.

§
Drafted responses

Stage responses drafted with reasons, actions and required wording.

Damp & mould casework

Hazard reports triaged to statutory timescales, with the trail built in.

TSM reporting

Tenant satisfaction measures and case performance reported from live data.

A CASE, REPORT TO RESOLUTION

The case moves before the resident has to chase.

A damp report lands, the property history is pulled, the survey is booked and the resident is kept informed — your officer reviews a resolution plan, not a backlog.

Ready for the Ombudsman. Built for residents.

Every case carries its own evidence — what was reported, what was done, when, and by whom — so scrutiny is answered from the record, not reconstructed for it.

Named-officer decisions

Every response and resolution plan carries an accountable officer’s sign-off.

Complete audit trail

Every report, action and communication time-stamped and exportable.

§
Reasoned responses

Every draft cites the history, policy and actions behind it — Code-ready.

Vulnerability first

Risk-flagged households prioritised automatically, never left in the queue.

Resident data protection

Personal data held per case, retained to policy and deleted on schedule.

Scrutiny-ready files

Ombudsman or regulator — any case reconstructs in citable form, on demand.

Built for every kind of resident casework.

Questions housing leaders ask.

Does it follow the Complaint Handling Code?

Yes. Stage definitions, timescales and required content are encoded once, and every complaint runs against them — with the evidence trail the Code expects.

How does it handle damp and mould timescales?

Hazard reports are triaged on intake against statutory and policy timescales, prior reports are surfaced, and the clock is tracked to completion of works — not just first response.

Can it work with our housing management system?

Yes — Hendl reads and writes to your housing management, repairs and contact systems through governed integrations; they remain the system of record.

What do residents notice?

Acknowledgements on time, updates without chasing, and appointments that happen when promised — the case moves even when no officer is free.

Give every resident the service your best case gets.

Start with one case type — complaints or damp and mould — running on your own casework in weeks, fully supported.
