Data collection is where property tectonics' software journey all began

The late 1980s saw a government initiative to transfer housing stock from local authorities to newly established housing associations and companies.  These were known as Large Scale Voluntary Transfers (LSVTs) and involved the transfer of the stock of over 250 local authorities. As part of these transfers, major improvement works had to be undertaken; therefore more condition surveys were done. We knew that collecting the survey data on paper for such large-scale surveys would be very time-consuming and cost-prohibitive. We wanted an innovative and efficient solution to collect stock data for our customers, and a means by which to interrogate the data once collected - Lifespan Housing and mobile data collection software was born! Of course, we were a little ahead of mobile technology then, and our mobile application looked a lot different from the smart devices we all have today.

We have compatible mobile applications for all our software products that are fully integrated and real-time with our customers' accounts. Mobile applications are available on Android and iOS platforms.

We also offer APIs at no extra cost to our customers who might have other providers, contractors, etc., using their own on-site mobile software. Either way, we have an innovative, mobile solution to collect data ready for upload in Lifespan Housing be it stock condition survey data, energy data or fire risk assessments.
