You face challenges that no housing provider can ignore

Housing providers are under intense scrutiny, from rising repair costs and regulatory pressure to growing tenant expectations. You're balancing social purpose with financial performance in an environment where every decision matters.

  • Ageing systems make it hard to see the full picture across repairs, compliance, and tenant engagement.
  • Manual processes slow down decision-making, impacting service quality.
  • Stretched teams across repairs and maintenance.
  • Rising tenant expectations, including faster communication and more personalised support.
  • Governance and readiness questions around the AI and data opportunity.

At Crimson, we understand the complexity of managing social housing operations. We help you modernise responsibly, ensuring your digital transformation delivers measurable improvements for both tenants and teams.

It's time to reimagine connected housing services that work for everyone

Imagine being able to predict repairs before they happen, spot early signs of tenant vulnerability, and deliver the right support at the right time.

I have already been assigned project work and learned lots in the first steps in becoming a Microsoft Certified, qualified business analyst. I have formed strong relationships with many people across the company – most notably my mentor, my coach, and my academy cohort – who have all aided my progress so far. I look forward to what the rest of this journey will bring me.

I’ve loved every single day of my Crimson journey so far. This is because Crimson feels more like a family rather than just a job. I’ve been impressed by the attention given to the apprentices, with presentations from every head of department and the Managing Director himself – it made me feel valued and gave me confidence that I can be successful at Crimson.

See how leading housing associations continue to transform with Crimson

Across the UK, housing associations are modernising repairs, customer service, and compliance processes with Crimson’s help.

Peabody

Challenge: Disconnected systems and manual processes slowed sales progression, reduced visibility, and made it hard to scale customer journeys.

Result: Microsoft Dynamics 365 unified sales and marketing, reducing duplication, improving data confidence, and enabling a more transparent, self-service customer experience.

“It's a game changer. It saves time, reduces errors, and lets us act like a private developer—while staying true to our purpose.”
Tom Leslie, Peabody

Phoenix Housing

Challenge: A large, unstructured image archive made GDPR compliance slow, manual, and increasingly unmanageable.

Result: An automated Azure-based solution now identifies and classifies images at scale, saving time while maintaining ongoing GDPR compliance.

Thank you to Crimson for their responsiveness, expertise and technical support."
Mike Wooderson, Phoenix Community Housing

Great Places

Challenge: Disparate systems and manual reporting made it hard to produce timely, reliable insights or maintain a single version of the truth.

Result: A cloud-based data platform and Power BI now deliver faster, trusted reporting, enabling self-service insights and more confident decision-making.

We are now in a much greater position to deliver great insight into the organisation."
