Highly commended at the Housing Digital Innovations Awards

We’re delighted to announce that our smart collection points with Jewson Partnerships Solutions (JPS) were highly commended in the Best Repairs and Maintenance Innovation award at the Housing Digital Innovations Awards last night (Thursday 9 February).

Held at Birmingham’s Edgbaston Cricket Ground, the Housing Digital Innovation Awards celebrate the pioneering housing providers and supply-chain partners who are embracing emerging technologies and digital transformation in order to take UK housing to the next level.

Our partnership with JPS is delivering a fresh approach to social housing repairs thanks to the UK’s first smart collection points which give operatives round-the-clock access to materials or tools they’ve ordered, whenever and wherever they need them.

Our Director of Repairs and Maintenance Andrew Rossiter says: “We’re delighted to be highly commended in the Best Repairs and Maintenance Innovation award at the Housing Digital Innovations Awards and we’re proud to be the first customer in the UK to work with JPS to use their new smart lockers.

“Our smart collection points with JPS were recently highly commended for the Innovator of the Year award at the UK Housing Awards so being highly commended at the Housing Digital Innovation Awards too really is fantastic news.

“This modern approach is making a real difference to how we work – our operatives now have the necessary parts and equipment to complete a job first time for our customers and we’re seeing a reduction in multiple visits to customers’ homes. It’s great to be recognised as an innovator in the sector!”

Scott Cooper, Business Director at JPS, said: “I’m thrilled that our smart collection points with GreenSquareAccord have been recognised at such a prestigious award ceremony for the housing sector.

“These lockers are making a real difference to our larger customers. This technology has the power to transform the way the building supply chain operates, saving our customers time and money every time it’s used.

“We’re proud to be helping GreenSquareAccord operate as efficiently as possible, and I’m thrilled our innovative system has got the recognition it deserves.”

We faced tough competition in our award category from FaultFixers, Mobysoft, Platform Housing Group, Plentific, TCW and Voicescape.
