Enhancing Resident Living with Vericon Managed Services
Enhancing the quality of life for residents has always been a top priority for housing providers. Technological advancements have introduced innovative solutions that significantly improve living conditions and save both residents and providers money.
Vericon Managed Services has been designed to be your technology partner. By monitoring the telemetry from your properties and managing your business processes, this service will allow social housing providers to focus on their core business while gaining all the benefits of connected technology.
Experience the Benefits of Vericon Managed Services:
Cost Savings:
Eliminating the need to create, recruit and train new departments results in reduced operational expenses while improving existing team efficiency.
Increased Proactive Maintenance:
Identifying issues before they escalate enables maintenance teams to respond quickly and stay ahead of potential problems, ensuring smooth property maintenance processes.
Improved Resident Living Conditions and Satisfaction:
As the system monitors and addresses property issues proactively, residents enjoy higher standards of living, leading to increased satisfaction rates among tenants.
Vericon Managed Services uses Community Learning and advanced AI to continuously monitor and identify patterns and irregularities that may signal potential maintenance, health or efficiency issues. Regardless of your portfolio size you can enjoy all the benefits our Managed Services has to offer.
Key points that Vericon Managed Services focus on include:
Damp and Mould Monitoring and Process Management:
Vericon Managed Services provides a comprehensive solution to humidity monitoring within residential properties. By continuously keeping track of humidity levels, Vericon helps identify potential damp and mould problems before they become severe. Early detection not only allows housing providers to take proactive measures, but also creates a healthier living environment for the residents.
Fuel Poverty and Vulnerable Resident Monitoring:
Vericon understands that vulnerable residents often face higher risks of fuel poverty. By tracking hot water usages, room temperatures, and humidity patterns, we can detect abnormal trends so housing providers can offer timely support and guidance to residents struggling with high-energy costs, improving their standard of living.
Pre-Heat Boiler Monitoring and Excessive use:
Vericon quickly identifies properties enabling the preheat function unnecessarily, resulting in wasted energy. By disabling this feature, energy consumption can be reduced. Additionally, excessive boiler activity is monitored to alert for potential reductions in boiler lifecycle linked to increased energy costs for residents.
System Pressure Loss and Expansion Vessel Issues:
By identifying pressure drops that may indicate potential problems and finding these trends early, preventive maintenance can be scheduled to avoid further damage to assets. Depending on the rate of pressure loss, Vericon Managed Services will create a notification for the gas team or maintenance provider, or an alert for more serious situations, while continuing to monitor the situation until it’s resolved. We also oversee boiler and air source heat pump expansion vessel issues and determine if an alert or notification should be raised based on the severity.
Boiler Fault Notifications:
We analyse boiler fault codes in real time to determine the nature of the issue. For gas faults with metered supply, Vericon will triage the fault by contacting the resident, guiding them in handling unexpected faults, gas supply issues, and boiler resets. If residents can’t handle the issue themselves, Vericon processes the fault for a work order.
All other faults will likewise be processed for work orders. However, by triaging gas faults, low pressure faults, and expansion vessel issues beforehand, the number of callouts is significantly reduced. This approach also offers engineers valuable insight into the problem before they leave for the property.
Boost Your Core Business Objectives
Housing providers can also benefit from the customer success team at Vericon. Our team actively collaborates with providers to understand current management methods and what information is required to maximise existing team efficiency.
Vericon Managed Services enhances resident living conditions for social housing providers by proactively addressing maintenance issues and offering support. With cost savings, increased proactive maintenance, and improved living conditions, implementing Vericon Managed Services will transform your daily operations and process management allowing you to focus on your core business objectives.

Community Learning Is Bringing Artificial Intelligence To Life
Vericon is transforming the social housing industry through the utilisation of Community Learning and AI to support housing providers in proactive maintenance. Regardless of the size of their housing portfolios, social housing providers can reap the benefits of Vericon Systems’ innovative approach.
Unlocking the Power of AI Through Community Learning
To fully utilise AI’s capabilities, an extensive data pool is crucial. By using a unique technique that we call “Community Learning”, our advanced AI is available to all housing providers that use our connected devices.
How Community Learning Works
Created by Vericon, Community Learning allows our system to access and analyse anonymised data taken directly from our cloud portal. It uses data provided by all our clients, therefore improving risk detection, preventative measures, process management, and communication with residents.
Real-Time Monitoring for Smarter Maintenance
Our AI continuously monitors and gathers data on factors such as energy consumption, temperature, humidity, boiler performance, and occupancy patterns. This allows our system to identify patterns and irregularities that may indicate potential maintenance issues.
“Housing associations are heading towards proactive maintenance rather than constantly being reactive…”
Luke McCreery Director of Property Maintenance and Building Safety | CURO
Scalable Solutions for Every Portfolio
Our AI algorithms are adaptable and scalable, catering to housing portfolios of any magnitude, be it a single building or a large housing estate. The system effectively analyses data and offers insightful predictive maintenance recommendations.
The Benefits of Predictive Maintenance
The utilisation of AI and community learning for predictive maintenance brings forth numerous advantages. First and foremost, it empowers housing providers to proactively identify and address maintenance issues, minimising the likelihood of emergencies and significantly reducing repair costs.
Enhancing Tenant Experience
Furthermore, by effectively managing maintenance tasks in a proactive and efficient manner, we contribute to enhancing tenants’ living experiences within social housing. Through minimising disruptions caused by maintenance issues, tenants can enjoy an improved quality of life and heightened satisfaction with their housing provider.
Supporting Sustainability Goals
Additionally, the use of AI-driven predictive maintenance can also have positive environmental implications. By optimising energy consumption and identifying inefficiencies, we can help you reduce your carbon footprint and help towards your sustainability efforts.
Supporting Sustainability Goals
By leveraging our Community Learning and AI capabilities, housing providers like you can:
- Improve the lives of your residents.
- Reduce the risk of emergencies and lower repair costs.
- Lower your carbon footprint and support the UK Net Zero goal.
Our use of AI and community learning is a huge game-changer to the industry and regardless of the size of your housing portfolio, you can benefit from this innovative approach.
