The Engage Resident Portal Engage is a multi-functional interface between residents and property stakeholders, that
drives efficiency and saves money by providing a single platform for communication on a functional level and a lifestyle basis.
Engage acts as a separate layer on top of your existing Lettings System, utilising web interfaces to integrate into your system.
This enables you to read and display key information whilst keeping your back-end systems secure.
Information is requested in real-time, so as your staff update your Lettings System; the information is available to the resident via Engage immediately.
