Everything a repairs coordinator needs to stop wasted journeys

HomeTrace is a focused set of tools designed around one goal: getting ahead of no-access visits before they happen. No bloat, no complexity, just the capabilities that make a real difference to your team's day.

Know which visits are at risk before the operative leaves

HomeTrace monitors your upcoming appointment schedule and surfaces jobs where resident availability hasn't been confirmed. Coordinators see a clear, prioritised view of which appointments need attention, so they can focus their time where it matters most, not scroll through a full diary looking for problems.

  • Prioritised list of unconfirmed and at-risk appointments
  • Risk signals based on confirmation status, lead time, and address history
  • Updated in real time as responses come in from residents
Residents confirm, cancel, or reschedule — without calling in
Automated resident reminders

Residents confirm, cancel, or reschedule — without calling in

HomeTrace sends automated reminders to residents via SMS and email at configurable intervals before their appointment. Residents can respond directly to confirm they'll be home, flag that they won't be available, or request a different time - all without picking up the phone or contacting the contact centre.

  • SMS and email reminders sent automatically at set intervals
  • Residents respond with a single tap. No app or account needed
  • Responses captured instantly and surfaced to the coordinator
Turn cancellations into completed repairs
Slot recovery workflow

Turn cancellations into completed repairs

When a resident indicates they won't be available, HomeTrace flags the slot for reallocation immediately, before the operative has set off. Coordinators can pull in another job from the backlog and fill the gap, turning what would have been a wasted journey into a completed repair.

  • Freed-up slots surfaced automatically for reallocation
  • Coordinator notified in real time with enough lead time to act
  • Backlog jobs matched to available slots to maximise daily completions

Designed to be used every day

HomeTrace isn't a reporting tool you check once a month. It's a live operational layer that coordinators interact with throughout the day — seeing what's at risk, acting on responses, and recovering capacity in real time. The interface is simple by design, because the people using it are busy.

No training required

The coordinator view is straightforward enough that most users are comfortable within a single session.

Works on any device

Access HomeTrace from desktop, tablet, or mobile — wherever your coordinators are working.
