Digital Documents: The Key to Less Admin & More Productivity

In an era where digitalisation is reshaping industries, property management is no exception. The UK government’s push towards digitalising key data and documents highlights the growing need for secure, efficient, and easily accessible documentation systems. This is something we at Spike have long advocated for – and already offer – through Spike Living’s document management feature. 

Access to Key Documentation

Gone are the days of rifling through stacks of paper or chasing down misplaced documents. With Spike Living, all essential documentation is stored in one secure digital location, allowing residents and property managers to access them instantly. 

 

Residents can view crucial documents such as rental agreements, move-in checklists, and, most importantly, fire and safety information, including the Resident Engagement Strategy (RES). This ensures that key compliance-related documents are always available when needed, enhancing transparency and accountability within property management practices. 

 

Beyond just storage, Spike Living enables property managers to automate document distribution. If there’s an update to fire safety procedures or changes to the RES, notifications can be sent instantly via push notifications and emails, ensuring residents receive the latest information promptly. This proactive approach not only keeps everyone informed but also helps property managers maintain compliance without manual follow-ups. 

Centralised Management for Residents and Property Managers

For residents, having a centralised platform like Spike Living means they can self-serve and access important information without having to contact their property manager. Frequently asked questions, fire safety procedures, and community updates are all available at their fingertips. Moreover, residents can gain transparency into their financial transactions, accessing detailed service charge statements, transaction histories, and even making payments electronically – enhancing both clarity and convenience. 

 

Property managers also benefit significantly from digital documentation. Rather than sifting through physical files or searching email archives, they can instantly retrieve any necessary document from Spike Living’s platform, no matter where they are. This ease of access saves time, reduces administrative burden, and ensures that compliance requirements are met efficiently.
