KPI Management

Across all industries, there is an increasing emphasis on the importance of data to underpin decision making and improve the accessibility and control of data collection and analysis.

Our KPI Management Solution for Housing Associations is a web-based application running in the Cloud, using Microsoft Azure. It allows the recording of monthly and quarterly KPI information as well as the storage of actual performance data from your source applications. The user experience can be personalised to ensure that only information relevant to each person is made available to them, increasing both efficiency and security.

Since KPIs are ever-evolving, the solution is designed to enable data to be changed on an ongoing basis ‘in-house’, putting you in control of the data that is important to your organisation. Your association can access the power of deeper understanding that is critical to decision making, with the help of our dedicated team of Housing Association experts to show you how to control and analyse your data.

Data Warehousing

We can work collaboratively with your association to offer a fully managed Data Warehouse that is highly elastic, enabling your association to set up in minutes and scale capacity in seconds.

Our team of experts can help get your association get set up, offering a solution that is more cost-efficient compared to traditional warehouse solutions.

Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting

For many organisations the process of building and maintaining budgets and forecasts and producing financial performance reporting relies on a complex and manually intensive spreadsheet process.

We work with many customers whose finance teams still spend an inordinate amount of time using manual spreadsheet-based processes to collect, consolidate, and validate data. This means finance professionals have less time to deliver plans, budgets, forecasts, reports, and value-added analysis. The net result of these pressures can be budgets or re-forecasts submitted without the level of scrutiny and verification required.

Simpson Associates planning, budgeting, and forecasting solutions have enabled many Housing Associates to develop a tangible process efficiency, that provides a clear line of sight to understand and to guide business performance. Reducing the manual nature of many current planning processes results in greater accuracy and time for analysis and adjustments. And in many cases, for “scenario planning” capability; providing greater control and insight.

Digital Transformation

Big Data is ever expanding, increasing ten-fold every 5 years. Data today comes from numerous sources including traditional data warehouse, and from new sources such as mobile, social, videos, click data, and advanced analytics. Housing Associations want the ability to use data to obtain actionable knowledge, timely insights, real-time monitoring and predictions. It’s a world of opportunities no one wants to miss, because it results in fact-based decisions, deeper decision making and improved performance management.

Irrespective of your location, we enable you to implement digital data strategies to collect, organise, distribute, and analyse your rapidly growing data assets for their stakeholders. This means important up-to-date information can be delivered on demand and without the delays of manual data presentation, so you can meet the needs of everyone from employees in the office or on the road, to tenants in need of information.
