Rocktime’s verso software, now widely accepted as the industry standard in public sector licensing automation is delighted to announce that a further five local government authorities have committed to using the verso platform to transform their HMO licensing process.
Authorities as diverse as Ealing, Northampton, Redbridge, Hammersmith & Fulham & Haringey will all be benefiting from Rocktime’s flexible, multi-faceted software system that provides automation and data validation across the HMO application process. Freeing up officers time to focus on prevention and enforcement, whilst reducing avoidable contact with busy Environmental health teams.
The motivation towards automation of such services lies partly in the expected changes to legislation by the department for communities and local government in 2018, in which a substantial uplift in the number of licensable properties is expected, and the overwhelming desire to move to a citizen self-service model that enable councils to provide better service to the public whilst reducing administration costs to protect key front line services.
