Six New Housing Customers For 360 Scheduling - April 28th 2008 - 360 Scheduling and Northgate have announced six new Local Authority and Social Housing customers for Northgate Contractors a module for Northgate Housing providing real-time management of the housing repair workforce. Northgate Contractors will provide Perth & Kinross Council, the London Borough of Hillingdon, Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council, Durham County Council, Stafford and Rural Homes and Cestria Community Housing with the facility to efficiently manage their housing repair and maintenance activities. Tightly integrated within Northgate Contractors, the 360 Dynamic Scheduling Engine (360 DSE) organises the workload of the whole housing repair work force using an entirely automated online appointment booking mechanism. All the variable information such as operative detail, skills, shifts, equipment, parts required, site location, call details plus SLAs are simultaneously analysed by the 360 DSE. It then computes the best possible utilisation of resources to assign the work to the best-placed and equipped mobile workers whilst providing complete real-time visibility of progress throughout the day.
