EVA: AI-powered Housing Digital Assistant
Step change your resident experience and employee satisfaction with the help of AI-powered Digital Assistant
EVA - Housing Virtual Assistant.
EVA is a digital assistant that helps Social Landlords modernize the way they interact with residents and employees. It uses the latest Conversational Automation Technology with back-office integration to create a modern self-serve environment, capable of completing end-to-end tasks automatically, putting it way beyond current Portal capabilities.
​
EVA is designed to significantly improve resident communications with more first-time resolutions, minimise inbound calls to contact centres and step-change the customer experience. It also vastly improves employee productivity by providing an all-encompassing internal knowledge base, so that all employees have instant access to the information they need.
This provides significantly improved service functionality compared to the traditional portal by dealing with requests the first time and not pushing it down the line to an operator.

We are excited to be using our new automation process, our colleagues are able to work along with automation instead of using the traditional ways to deal with customer facing tasks. It unlocks their potential to work on higher-value tasks, supporting our customers whilst also improving performance. We have many ideas for future process automation and have planned in skills transfers for our colleagues to enable them to develop some of these inhouse.
