Scope

Description

Aster Group - Asset Technology

Aster Group is embarking on a transformative journey to modernise its Asset Management Technology and Data Solutions. With a portfolio of over 37,000 properties across the south of England and London, we are committed to leveraging technology and data to enhance efficiency, improve customer experience, and optimise asset lifecycle management.

This initiative focuses on implementing an Asset Information Model (AIM)-a single, common data environment that consolidates all asset-related data, enabling dynamic, data-led decision-making. By shifting towards a preventative and predictive approach, Aster aims to deliver smarter, cost-effective, and sustainable asset management solutions.

Key challenges driving this transformation include:

- Increasing repair volumes and costs due to aging stock and inflation.

- Regulatory and compliance pressures (e.g., Awaab's Law, tenant satisfaction measures).

- The need for a strategic technology partner to unify disparate systems and enhance service delivery.

What We Are Looking For:

- We are seeking a strategic technology partner with proven, live solutions that can integrate seamlessly into our existing Microsoft Dynamics-based ecosystem.

Key priorities include:

- A comprehensive asset management solution that improves efficiency and service quality.

- A collaborative approach to innovation, ensuring alignment with Aster's strategic objectives.

- The ability to demonstrate successful implementations with other housing providers or asset-intensive organisations.
