In 2014 our director, Kate, launched Resident Block Management Software that is not only utilised by Alexandre Boyes, but also over 200 other managing agents across the UK, Ireland and Gibraltor. In 2022 our ‘sister’ company Resident launched their second software – The Data Hub for supplier invoice processing. Please take a look at www.dhub.uk.com .
Kate was aware of the huge amount of time spent by the AB Block Management team receiving and processing over 10,000 contractor invoices per year and set about building The Data Hub as a time saving solution.
The concept was to save the time it takes to receive and process the thousands of contractors invoices block managers receive each year. The invoices are now emailed to a designated email address which enters the Data Hub. The Dhub ‘reads’ the invoice and automatically enters the relevant data into the relevant fields in Resident – including the Client / Block, service charge schedule, expense category and allocates against any relevant works order. The hub even automatically loads a copy of the actual invoice into Resident – a feature that other similar softwares do not offer. Property Managers log into a page of loaded invoices to approve them for payment.
We hope that the use of the Data Hub will clear our teams desks, improving service levels and spending more time communicating with clients and leaseholders.
“To be honest I’m super overwhelming proud of what our independent software house has achieved with this and I am really looking forward to the Alexandre Boyes team and clients benefitting from its features. Credit as always to Michał Marek who makes ideas happen.” Kate Boyes MRICS
