The Background
Public housing authorities are particularly challenged when it comes to document management. While HUD allows for electronic records to be maintained for most document types, age-old standards for maintaining documents with original signatures in paper format have slowed the pace at which PHAs have adopted electronic record systems.
Business Challenge
Most documents are received from applicants, tenants, and landlords though snail mail, even with the implementation of portal where users can upload electronic documents. PHAs are also subject to complex data retention policies required by HUD and state regulations. Collecting, securing, and purging paper documents requires significant effort from agency re- sources; effort, of which, could be re-allocated to other administrative purposes. Few competitors provide fully integrated document scanning, upload, and archive features that make document management effortless.
Reframe Assist provides complete document management functionality throughout the suite of products, including:
- Portal and Back-office document upload
- Scanning for applicant, tenant, owner and unit documents
- Tablet Image capture
