Frequently Asked Questions
What is housing case management software?
Housing case management software helps Housing teams manage complex resident casework through structured processes and records. Iken brings case information, documents, correspondence, evidence, actions and decisions together, while configurable workflows help teams manage different stages and requirements. It is designed for case-based work rather than replacing the core systems used to manage properties, residents and tenancies.
What types of housing cases can Iken manage?
Iken can support a range of complex Housing casework, including anti-social behaviour investigations, tenancy management and enforcement, housing complaints, Ombudsman responses, reviews and appeals. For Local Authority Housing Services, this can also include Housing Options and homelessness casework, such as applications, assessments and reviews. Different case types can use workflows configured around their particular processes.
How can Iken support anti-social behaviour case management?
Iken can provide a structured record for an ASB investigation, keeping evidence, correspondence, actions and decisions associated with the case. Configurable workflows can guide teams through relevant stages and actions, while the case history provides a clear record of how the investigation has developed and the activity undertaken. The Housing research specifically identifies ASB investigations as a strong fit for structured investigation and evidence management.
How does Iken help Housing teams maintain clear and defensible records?
Iken maintains a history of case information, evidence, actions and decisions within the relevant record. This creates an audit trail that can help teams understand how a decision was reached and what activity took place, particularly when cases progress to reviews, appeals, complaints or wider scrutiny.
Can Housing, Legal and other teams collaborate on the same case?
Yes. Iken supports cross-team case working and secure collaboration where Housing cases involve other authorised colleagues or stakeholders. This can help Housing, Legal, safeguarding, community safety and other relevant participants contribute without losing the central case history. Iken Connect can also support collaboration alongside Iken Cloud where information needs to be shared with case contributors.
Can Iken be configured around our existing Housing processes?
Yes. Iken supports configurable workflows and matter types, allowing different Housing processes to be structured around the organisation's requirements rather than requiring every type of case to follow the same process. Workflows can support stages, actions and deadlines for different case types while retaining flexibility for the circumstances of individual cases.
How does Iken manage sensitive housing case information?
Iken supports structured document management and secure collaboration, helping organisations keep case-related documents, correspondence and evidence associated with the relevant record and available to authorised users. Housing cases can involve sensitive resident information, so access should be configured according to the organisation's requirements and information-governance policies.
What reporting and oversight can Housing managers get from Iken?
Iken's dashboards and reporting can give Housing leaders greater visibility across structured case information, including active work, ownership, status, outstanding actions and outcomes. This supports management oversight without relying solely on information held across individual inboxes, spreadsheets or disconnected systems.
Can Iken work alongside our existing housing management system?
Iken is intended to complement, rather than automatically replace, the systems an organisation uses for core property, tenancy and resident information. The Housing opportunity identified in the research is complex casework requiring stronger workflow, investigation, evidence, review, appeal or audit capabilities. Iken also has an integration framework, although specific integrations and requirements would need to be established with the organisation.
Is Iken suitable for both councils and housing associations?
Iken's Housing case management capabilities are relevant to Local Authority Housing Services, housing associations and other social housing providers managing complex resident casework. Shared use cases include ASB, tenancy-related cases, complaints and reviews, while some processes are organisation-specific. For example, Housing Options and statutory homelessness casework are particularly relevant to Local Authority Housing Services.
