How Controlling Compliance Leads to Better Resource Management

Social housing providers don’t have an abundance of resources for property services. Whether it’s budget, skilled labour or even the goodwill of residents, everything has to be carefully managed and used wisely.

Compliance can be where the cracks start to show when resources become overstretched. It can also be where to start building a regime of more efficient resource management.

Bringing compliance data under control helps you deploy resources more effectively in a number of ways:

  • Work is done when it needs to be done, it can be combined with other work streams, and it’s completed in one attempt because operatives know more about the asset they are dealing with.
  • The management control system assigns inspection and servicing dates from the point at which compliance-related equipment is installed. Inspection and maintenance schedules can then be automated.
  • With a clear map of planned compliance activity you can coordinate and rationalise the supply chain to achieve efficiencies while allowing sustainable margins.
  • Preventive maintenance and replacement of equipment becomes possible, preventing more expensive and disruptive breakdowns.
  • A cloud-based compliance data management solution makes real time data available anywhere. You don’t have to search for information so planning and reporting are greatly simplified.

With comprehensive and trustworthy data, compliance inspections and works can be rationalised to save time and budget. Perhaps more importantly, it also helps to control significant risk factors and the unquantifiable costs that come with them.

The final advantage of bringing compliance data under control now is that it provides a sound base of asset data that can be the foundation for net zero planning.

If your compliance data is distributed across multiple spreadsheets and supplier databases you can still bring it into a common environment and make it usable. Osborne has developed a tool to do exactly this.
