The Client

Fife Council is the third largest authority in Scotland and is responsible for delivering all government services in the area from education and the environment to the local community and housing services.

The Challenge

Fife Rights Forum, an umbrella group within Fife Council required a system, which could securely advertise both vacant and exchange accommodation for a range of charitable and government funded housing providers within Fife.

The Project

Mine Digital developed a bespoke system known as the 'Accommodation Brokerage System'. The system provides an administration portal, which stores and manages all contact information of member bodies. Agencies can both access and upload housing stock details and information.

The Fife ABS system also has a brokerage area, which enables member agencies to search and make accommodation requests for their own clients.

The Solution

AThe system will significantly improve the effectiveness of the housing brokerage service provided by Fife Rights Forum by reducing time and resources required in the search for accommodation, maximising occupancy of the limited temporary accommodation space within Fife. Available 24/7 Fife ABS ensures that accommodation can be allocated at anytime at very short notice.
