FLS develops AI-powered, sustainable and innovative scheduling and routing solutions that meet the modern needs of social landlords and their subcontractors. The Awards recognise efforts to 'deliver great outcomes for tenants and residents' and are judged by tenants and experts from their individual fields.
Multi-award winning solution FLS VISITOUR is driving innovation across more than 500,000 homes, partnering with UK and European affordable housing providers to deliver huge productivity improvements for field-based housing operations.
Customers including Your Housing Group, Axis Europe, Amey (Ministry of Defence housing repairs) and HomeServe, are closing up to 30% more jobs per day per field operative, lowering costs and achieving soaring tenant satisfaction scores by getting to appointments quicker. Schedules are automatically created with a greater opportunity for a first-time fix. Embedded route plans are designed to save fuel and CO2 emissions, with fewer miles driven per job.
Using its wider sector expertise with telcos, infrastructure, engineering, logistics and manufacturing, FLS continues to grow across the UK housing sector, as it deploys its best-of-breed, real-time dynamic route planning software FLS VISITOUR enabling the intelligent optimisation of schedules and resources.
