ROCC, developers of the widely-used Uniclass housing software, has announced a partnership with IoT supplier Purrmetrix.
The partnership is expected to form the foundation for a series of smart-home solutions to monitor the environment and condition of housing providers’ properties using Purrmetrix’s low-cost IoT sensors, with the sensors automatically reporting temperature, humidity or carbon dioxide issues within properties to the ROCC back-office housing maintenance and repairs system. The system can then be configured to automatically raise and prioritise these issues, enabling them to be handed off to mobile operatives to attend and resolve the issues.
Peter Luck, director of operations (Uniclass), ROCC, said, “Getting a better picture of the real-time environment not only helps allocate responsive repairs where they are most needed, but also lets housing providers get a better picture of which housing stock needs upgrading.”
