Introducing HomeHub
Our Latest Innovation in Property Management Technology
At Vericon Systems, we are proud to introduce HomeHub, our most advanced property monitoring solution to date. We have specifically developed this sophisticated system to transform how Housing Associations and property managers oversee their residential properties, offering unprecedented insight into residents’ living environments.
Our new HomeHub system provides comprehensive environmental monitoring, assessing conditions within each property every five minutes. We recognise that daily monitoring isn’t sufficient for modern property management, which is why we’ve engineered this solution to deliver more frequent and accurate assessments, enabling early detection of issues such as damp and mould.
We’ve incorporated intelligent machine learning capabilities that we believe set new standards in property management technology. Our system learns each property’s unique heating characteristics, allowing it to accurately determine optimal heating times and efficiency. This analytical approach enables our clients to identify inefficient heating systems and inadequate insulation, facilitating data-driven decisions about property improvements and maintenance schedules.
Communication sits at the heart of our design philosophy. We’ve ensured HomeHub enables direct, efficient communication between property managers and residents, with our multi-language support ensuring clear understanding across diverse communities. Our innovative Track My Repair feature provides transparent maintenance tracking, complete with milestone updates and comprehensive audit logs accessible to both residents and property managers.
As our Managing Director Bernard Cook explains, “We’ve specifically designed HomeHub to promote resident engagement and provide housing providers with a deeper understanding of their tenant’s environment. Our system’s intelligent analytics and AI learning capabilities automatically alert both landlords and residents to potential issues, providing recommended actions and enabling proactive property management.”
We’ve included practical applications that address the core needs of property management:
- Our automated notifications for boiler performance issues
- Our scheduling assistance for annual gas safety checks
- Our real-time environmental condition monitoring
- Our comprehensive maintenance tracking and reporting
We’re particularly proud of HomeHub’s remote update capability, which ensures our system remains current with evolving property management requirements. We’ve designed this feature to make HomeHub a sustainable long-term investment for our clients seeking to modernise their operations.
Our team has developed HomeHub to represent a significant advancement in residential property management technology. By combining environmental monitoring, communication tools, and maintenance tracking in one integrated system, we provide the comprehensive oversight necessary for effective modern property management.
We understand the challenges facing Housing Associations and property managers today. That’s why we’ve created HomeHub as a professional, reliable solution that meets the complex demands of contemporary property management. We’re confident that our system will help our clients enhance their operational efficiency whilst improving resident satisfaction.

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.

How AI is Revolutionising the UK Social Housing Sector
The UK social housing sector plays a vital role in providing affordable accommodation solutions for millions of people. With mounting challenges like a growing population, homelessness, and an increasing need for energy-efficient living spaces, the sector is under immense pressure to deliver. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in, proving to be a game-changer in the way the sector operates.
Let’s explore the different ways AI benefits the UK social housing sector, from enhancing tenant satisfaction to optimising property management.
1. Improved Tenant Satisfaction
AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can help resolve tenant issues promptly and efficiently, leading to increased tenant satisfaction and loyalty. For instance, the assistant can handle routine maintenance requests, rent inquiries and answer common questions about living spaces.
2. Predictive Maintenance
AI-driven applications can analyse vast data sets collected from IoT devices and sensors installed in residential buildings. Analysing this data enables predictive maintenance capabilities that identify potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or safety hazards.
3. Enhancing Property Management
AI technology automates repetitive tasks such as rent collection, contract management, and property inspections. This improves efficiency within property management organisations and frees up resources to focus on more strategic work.
4. Streamlining Applications and Allocations
Automated algorithms can analyse applicants’ data and make unbiased decisions regarding eligibility for social housing allocation. This leads to fairer housing assignments and reduced wait times for tenants in need.
5. Energy Efficiency Optimisation
Machine learning algorithms can analyse utility consumption data to uncover patterns that suggest inefficiencies or opportunities for optimisation. This helps organisations implement energy-saving measures tailored to individual buildings or tenants, contributing to a greener built environment.
6. Data-Driven Decision Making
Integrating AI within decision-making processes enables housing providers to make predictions based on historical data and current trends. This helps them plan and make smarter decisions regarding investments, repairs, and expansion projects.
As the UK social housing sector grapples with challenges, AI is paving the way for a more efficient and effective industry. By leveraging advanced AI-based solutions, housing providers can improve tenant satisfaction and streamline operations while maintaining a strong emphasis on social responsibility
