Strategic partnership a win for Community Housing sector

Kinetic Information Systems and Hi-Tech Inspect are pleased to announce a strategic partnership.

The partnership sees direct integration between Hi-Tech Inspect’s ‘front-end’ asset capture solution and Kinetic’s ‘behind-the-scenes’ asset management capability. This will provide Australian Community Housing organisations with accurate and instant data about their housing stock, down to a minute level of detail.

Hi-Tech Inspect Executive Director Jonathan Eutropius said that their experience is wide-ranging and far reaching across the Australian social housing sector.

“We are a leader in technologically driven asset data collection services and our experience totals over half a million residential asset surveys to date across Australia,” said Mr Eutropius.

“We collect asset performance data enabling strategic asset management analysis and decisions to be made, so that such things as maintenance and repairs are identified allowing proactive maintenance programmes to be implemented. In addition to the identification of the causes of damage, it allows assessment of both tenant and contractor damage responsibilities.”

Kinetic Information Systems Director Scott Graham said the strategic partnership with Hi-Tech Inspect provides the ability for Community Housing organisations to get the information they need.

“Many of the organisations we meet do not have either a mechanism or the staffing capacity for capturing asset data and therefore much of their property information is out of date or simply missing,” said Mr Graham.

“Hi-Tech Inspect offers Community Housing the ability to outsource this service on a periodic basis or to bring the technology in-house. The software is ideal for organisations with remote location as its synchronisation technology allows data to be captured offline in areas with no data connection.”

“Kinetic are delighted to be working with Hi-Tech Inspect – a company who truly are specialists in their field.”

Both Hi-Tech Inspect and Kinetic tailor their services to meet the needs of each individual organisation and the level of detail required.
