IS IT TIME FOR DIGITAL CHANNEL SHIFT IN YOUR ORGANISATION?

Our mission is to revolutionise digital engagement in the community housing sector through innovative web portals
and mobile solutions.
​
For too long IT projects promise to reduce both manual tasks and paperwork and yet somehow seem to increase both, leading to staff fatigue and increasingly complex processes.
​
Digital Channel Shift doesn't mean moving to a new system, our Portals and Apps integrate with your existing systems; so we can setup your Tenant Portal or Staff App in less than 2 weeks, saving time and money.

OUR VISION FOR CHANGE

Who We Are
At WDS: The Portal People, we specialise in digital solutions tailored for the Australian and New Zealand community housing sector.
Our innovative platforms empower tenants to self serve from any web browser, allowing them to check their rent balance, make a online payment, log a repair or even complete a rent review.
For your staff, we enable them to access vital information and communicate through digital channels while working in the office, remotely and when mobile - visiting tenants or properties.
​
Our solutions takes your current housing system and makes the data accessible from web apps, native apps (Apple, Android and Windows) working both offline or online.
We also extend the investment in your housing system, allowing it to connect to other systems via REST APIs and web services without changing anything on your setup.
At WDS: The Portal People, we are committed to enhancing experiences for all users, creating tools that are both useful and user-friendly built on genuine real world feedback.
