Major Upgrade of Large Landlord Schedule Functionality

Govtech Announces Major Upgrade of Large Landlord Schedule Functionality 

Govtech has announced a significant upgrade of its Landlord’s Schedule digital process automation service for councils. It imports lists of tenancy changes sent weekly by large landlords, typically as spreadsheets or CSV files, and automates processing of the changes in the Revenues system, treating each as an individual notification. Optionally, it also flags these as changes in circumstances in the Benefits system.

Rather than support a limited range of formats for Landlord’s Schedule, Govtech has announced it will extend its transformation routines to import Landlord’s Schedules in whatever format these are issued to Councils. This will remove the need for hundreds of tenancy changes to be manually processed each week. Between one third and one half of all address change notifications received by councils are submitted by large or small landlords. All will now be fully automated by webCAPTURE.
