Sunderland, UK

AYO Digital partnered with Durham-based full service agency The Works to develop a new corporate website for Gentoo Group. The aim of this was to consolidate the seven businesses into one system and provide an enhanced functional experience to their customers.

AYO Digital focussed on delivering a powerful and scalable website, which could be controlled through a content management system. This allowed Gentoo staff to not only change content, but also manage properties which were available through the website.

Gentoo property search flats

Property search

AYO developed a centralised property search tool that allowed Gentoo’s customers to find different property types through one search. This integrated market properties, as well as social housing into one consolidated set of search results, based on the users criteria.

Gentoo AllPay

Online payments

Whilst Gentoo use AllPay for the online payment provider, AYO developed a solution that allowed customers to review their payment online against multiple account types.

Gentoo anti-social behaviour

Anti-social behaviour management

The Gentoo Group website now provides more detailed information to their customers on different types of anti-social behaviour and what steps should be taken by residents to deal with this. The site now allows users to directly file ASB reports to Gentoo management.

My Gentoo provides a centralised portal to all residents and account holders. This allows them to manage payments and maintenance requests online. Users can also download rent statements, providing Gentoo with huge savings.

Shareholder reports

As part of the digital requirements, Gentoo are now providing their Annual reports through a web-based platform, allowing for easier access and transparency to all partners and residents. AYO worked directly with The Works to design and develop this new website.

Multi-platform solutions

As part of the ongoing development process, AYO are working with Gentoo to provide all their customer information through multiple platforms such as mobile, Facebook and Twitter. This involves directly implementing key functional services through each of them.

The combined technical expertise and energy that both agencies have really made an impact and overall, we are very impressed with how the project has progressed from the outset.
