In today's fast-paced world of repairs management and maintenance, success hinges on the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and industry-leading training. That's why we're excited to announce the strategic partnership between Help me Fix and Upkeep Training - a collaboration set to revolutionise how repairs are diagnosed, managed, and executed across the social housing sector.

A Meeting of Minds: Technology Meets Training

Upkeep Training is an award-winning specialist in repairs and maintenance education, offering CIH and ABBE accredited qualifications and short courses. Whether you work in social housing, property management, or facilities management, Upkeep Training equips you with the knowledge and skills to ensure that every property is well maintained and that residents feel right at home. Their offer, which ranges from one-day courses to nationally recognised qualifications, caters to learners from diverse backgrounds, ranging from technical roles in housing maintenance to non-technical positions.

On the other side, Help me Fix provides a comprehensive repair diagnostic and triage solution that leverages advanced AI and video technology. Designed to improve service quality, reduce costs, and streamline maintenance management, Help me Fix is the ideal solution for industries looking to optimise repair workflows and operational efficiency.

Integrating Expertise into Aidenn: A Game-Changer for Repairs

The partnership takes innovation a step further by integrating Upkeep Training's award-winning courses into Aidenn, Help me Fix's revolutionary AI repairs assistant. This integration will empower contact centre agents and social landlords with the latest, most effective training content, enabling them to diagnose issues with greater efficiency and accuracy.

The first joint add-on for Aidenn will be the Upkeep Damp, Mould, and Condensation training module. Set to launch by the end of Q1 2025, this add-on is designed to address common and costly issues in the social housing sector. By assisting contact centre agents with instant diagnostics and using Upkeep's training data in real-world resident conversations as well as video consultations with repairs managers, Aidenn will not only streamline the repair process but also enhance the overall quality of service delivered to residents by contact centre agents.

Delivering Value in a Changing Landscape

As the regulatory environment evolves with new legislation and obligations like those outlined in Awaabs Law, social landlords and repairs managers are under increasing pressure to deliver quality, compliant services. This collaboration between Help me Fix and Upkeep Training offers a robust solution to meet these challenges head-on:

• Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: With Aidenn's AI-powered capabilities enriched by Upkeep Training's expert content, issues are identified and resolved faster.
• Operational Efficiency: Correctly diagnosed damp and mould repairs translate to reduced downtime and lower operational costs.
• Empowered Staff: Contact centre agents gain access to cutting-edge, on-demand training, equipping them to handle repairs more effectively, even in high-pressure scenarios.
• Future-Proofing: The integration ensures that training remains up-to-date with the latest industry techniques and regulatory requirements, helping organizations stay ahead of the curve.

Looking Ahead

The integration of Upkeep Training's courses into Aidenn marks just the beginning of a new era in repair diagnostics and maintenance management. As both partners continue to innovate and refine their offerings, the future looks bright for an industry that's poised to become more efficient, effective, and responsive than ever before. Moreover, with Awaabs Law extending its reach into the Private Rented Sector, this partnership will not only benefit the Social Housing Sector but also provide property managers and landlords in the PRS with the tools and training needed to meet their obligations to residents in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.

"At Help me Fix, we believe that the combination of advanced technology and quality training is the key to transforming maintenance management. Our collaboration with Upkeep Training is a natural fit, as their expertise in repair education perfectly complements our AI-driven approach. Together, we're set to revolutionize how repair issues are diagnosed and resolved, delivering tangible benefits for residents, social landlords, and property managers alike." - Ettan Bazil, Founder and CEO, Help me Fix
