…social housing
For over 30 years Orchard has specialised in the provision of ICT business solutions to social housing providers.
With over 140 customers Orchard is recognised as the largest independent supplier operating in the sector. We believe that our independence is a major advantage because it gives us the flexibility to make decisions quickly and adopt a long term strategy for the development of our business.
Orchard is unique in that its market share is spread evenly, from providers managing around 1,500 units up to those with in excess of 100,000 units. All our customers use the same Orchard product which demonstrates the ease of use, functional richness and scalability of the system.
Orchard’s commitment to the housing sector is also unique, in that our business is solely based on supplying housing management software and services to housing organisations, be they local authorities, ALMOs or Housing Associations.
…our solutions
Orchard’s strategy is to provide innovative solutions that help to solve current sector issues.
Orchard is delighted to launch Orchard Housing, the latest version of its ICT business solution for social housing providers, at The CIH Housing Conference and Exhibition this year. Alongside some great housing functionality and a new “look and feel”, we’ve added even more flexibility to help you manage the challenges and issues that the sector presents.
This is the next generation business solution for social housing providers. It will enable you to take information from anywhere, manage it through a suite of applications and then deliver it to your staff and customers the way they want it, device, location and time independent.
…working together
We work with both customers and business partners to ensure our solutions continually evolve.
Orchard Housing sits at the heart of our solutions portfolio and is complemented by a range of applications including Financial Management, Customer Knowledge, Anti-Social Behaviour, Asset Management, Asbestos Management, GIS, Scheduling Management, Payroll & HR and Mobile Working Solutions.
As part of our on-going commitment to the sector we are delighted to invite you to our annual evening drinks reception on the evening of 22 June to be held at:

The reception will begin at 18:00 and to tie in with the excitement of the World Cup we are introducing the inaugural Orchard Charity Shield Table Football Tournament. We are inviting Housing organisations to enter teams of up to 4 people for the chance to win a donation to your favourite charity. Entry is £10 per team, with all money going in to the prize fund which Orchard will double.
Kick-Off is at 18:45 at the drinks reception with quarter finals, semi final and the final taking place over 23 & 24 June.

Orchard Housing - Live...
As a non-Orchard customer, you may be wondering what the future holds... are you Building a Foundation for the Future?
Orchard’s strategy is to provide innovative solutions that help to solve current sector issues.
Orchard cannot predict what challenges will emerge in the future but we can help to manage those challenges as they emerge by providing the next generation business solution for social housing providers.
We describe it as a 'next generation' solution because it provides capabilities that go far beyond the transactional housing management systems available on the marketplace. We call it a 'business solution' because it supports the business as a whole by delivering more than just great housing management functionality:
• Wouldn't it be great to have a solution where you can avoid creating a new spreadsheet every time you find a business process that your housing system can't handle?
• Have you ever wanted to change the layout of the screen and perhaps add some data from a totally separate data source so that individual members of staff see the essential details they want and need in one central place?
• How about being able to create full blown applications that can incorporate housing management processes and data?
• Wouldn’t it be invaluable to have integrated customer relationship & profiling management to enable you to tailor service delivery to generic groups or communities?
Whilst providing all the strong core functionality you would normally expect from a housing system, these additional advanced features will provide flexibility to create your own distinct business processes to deliver enhanced services.
To understand how we can help you manage the future, we are showcasing Orchard Housing - Live for one day only at the following theatres:
Dominion Theatre London - 6th October 2010
Birmingham Hippodrome - 7th October 2010
Each event is anticipated to run from 11am - 3pm.
