Blockman’s Communication Features
Blockman’s features for communication include the following:
Centralised information hub
MyBlockman is a centralised platform which stores all relevant building-related information in an easily accessible format. Unlike email, where important messages can get lost in crowded inboxes, MyBlockman ensures that owners and residents can always find the documents, announcements, and updates they need in one place. This organised approach reduces the time spent searching for information and minimises the risk of missing critical communications.
Enhanced security and privacy
Emails can be intercepted, misdirected, or fall into the wrong hands, posing security and privacy risks. MyBlockman, however, offers a secure environment for sharing sensitive information. Each user has a unique login based on their email address, ensuring that only authorised individuals can access their service charge accounts, payment details, and personal data. This level of security is essential for maintaining the trust and confidence of owners and residents.
Real-time updates and notifications
With MyBlockman, property managers can post updates and announcements in real-time. Users receive instant notifications on their devices, ensuring they’re always up-to-date with the latest information.
User-friendly interface and accessibility
The design of MyBlockman centres on user experience, offering an intuitive interface that’s easy to navigate. Whether accessing the platform via desktop or mobile devices, users can quickly find the information they need. This convenience contrasts sharply with the often cumbersome task of managing and organising emails, which can be particularly challenging for less tech-savvy individuals.
Comprehensive record-keeping
Maintaining a comprehensive record of communications is crucial for block property management. MyBlockman provides a clear historical record that can be referenced at any time. This functionality is superior to email, where messages can be deleted or lost, complicating efforts to retrieve past communications.
Engagement and empowerment
Beyond simple information dissemination, MyBlockman allows the owner and resident to access their data and documents 24 hours a day, seven days a week, reducing dependency on the agent or property manager.
Customisable user experience
MyBlockman allows property managers to customise the document categories to organise different types of information and enable access rights.
