Pervasic Announces MobileOne® Housing Maintenance Solution For Improving and Maintaining Local Authority Housing Stock

Market’s Most Comprehensive Multi-Trade Job Management Application for Field Force Mobilisation with Deployment in Less Than 12 Weeks

Pervasic Ltd, the UK leader in mobilising corporate data applications, today announced the availability of its MobileOne Housing Maintenance Solution for the management, maintenance and improvement of local authority housing stock. The MobileOne Housing Maintenance Solution provides the industry’s most comprehensive, functionally rich and flexible field force mobilisation system, specifically designed for the needs of managing the social housing sector.

With typical time to deployment in less than 12 weeks, and a proven ROI in as little as eight months, Pervasic’s solution enables local authorities and providers of building services to:

•Increase productivity gains of up to 25% of additional jobs per worker
•Process up to 50% more ‘Work in Progress’
•Maintain and improve profit per job
•Eliminate duplication, human error and time-intensive manual-based systems
•Create real time job scheduling systems and streamline internal processes
•Reduce costs and provide an easy to use option for operatives.

The solution has already been adopted as the field force mobilisation platform of choice by a number of local housing authorities and building services organisations throughout the UK – most of whom are seeing significant ROIs of six figures.


Phil Oades, Service Manager Responsive Repairs for Kier Building Maintenance in Sheffield, commented, “I had envisaged an initial temporary dip in KPIs when we deployed new technology and mobilised our workforce here in Sheffield. However, implementing our application on the Pervasic Mobile One Platform has been extremely straight forward. By working closely with the Pervasic team, who understand both the people and technology aspects of mobilisation, we have not suffered any drop off in performance levels at all since we deployed.

We are also on target with our ROI forecast”

John Salter, Chief Executive Officer of Pervasic Ltd, “With the increasing emphasis on performance and efficiency facing the social housing sector, field force mobilisation is now becoming part of the strategic agenda. The need to meet Gershon efficiency targets, combined with the Decent Homes Standard initiative, and the move to real time electronic data transfers, requires an end-to-end application that is specifically designed for the real time management of housing stock.”

The MobileOne Housing Maintenance Solution manages the entire process – from job information to scheduling and sending it over the GPRS network to engineers in the field using hand held devices to work through their jobs, with results sent back to the service centre once completed. The simple to use mobile solution enables organisations to improve customer satisfaction through more first time fixes and narrower appointment windows, whilst delivering real time KPIs, bottom line benefit through more jobs per user and improving the working life of operatives in the field.

Delivered as a pay as you go managed service, Pervasic’s MobileOne Housing Maintenance Solution is a modular fully featured, multi-trade job management application that uses pre-configured screens to guide the user through the job, managing the job process and ensuring that all legislative requirements are met, including installation certificates, CP12’s, safety and warning notices, as well as capturing the customer’s signature to complete the job.

Pervasic provides 24x7 service monitoring, extended hotline support and guaranteed service levels. Available immediately, Pervasic’s MobileOne Housing Maintenance Solution is delivered as a managed service.
