Cases   >   Housing allocation to households based on complex European income rules

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

The allocation process is getting more complex by increased and primarily tax driven legislation (e.g. the new Allocation law per 1st of January 2016) and enhanced surveillance on accountability.

SOLUTION

A user friendly and web-based knowledge application (WIS*kit) to guide rental agents through the complex process of assessing income, suitability and accountability.
The application supports at taking the right decision(s).
WIS*kit performs the calculations for both the European income test and the appropriate allocation test.

1. an overview with reasoned conclusions for the audit by the accountant and
2. the statement household income for signature by the customer

With WIS*kit we can help the customer, who has accepted a house, better and faster. At the same time this is for Stadgenoot a good tool in the optimization of the rental process: we can now test suitability with one system and do not have to carry out any extra checks afterwards anymore.
