Yes - a common concern we encountered with housing providers was how to communicate with a diverse customer-base, including residents whose first language is not English. The implications of this could involve health and safety messages being misunderstood, as well as alienating certain residents.
To maximise the effectiveness of communication from housing providers, and to ensure messages can be easily understood by all residents, the Spaciable Living app can be accessed in various languages, including French, Spanish, Polish, Slovakian and Arabic. The interface can be toggled between languages and messages from admins can be translated within the app.

Spaciable supports better health and safety management by giving residents direct access to essential information, such as fire evacuation procedures, gas and electrical safety certificates, appliance manuals and building compliance documents - all in one secure, digital location, which can also be linked to using QR codes in communal areas.

In addition, Spaciable Living allows residents to report health and safety concerns quickly using customisable issue templates, for example, to flag damp and mould or structural issues. These reports are instantly routed to your team, creating a clear audit trail and enabling faster resolution.
This proactive, digital approach not only helps protect residents but also reduces the administrative burden on property teams.
