Asset Tracking · Social Housing

Asset Tracking for social housing sites.

Asset tracking that flags unauthorised removals at the gate and surfaces idle or missing kit before it costs you. Purpose-built for the regulatory and operational realities of social housing.

The Salvus Network tracks tools, plant, vehicles, laptops and containers with a Tag on every asset across your whole site. Anchors at gates and key thresholds detect when an asset leaves without authorisation and raise an alert the instant it happens. Stale Tags — kit that hasn't been read in days — are surfaced so nothing quietly disappears. The result is less shrinkage, faster location of shared equipment, and a defensible record of what left site, when and with whom. For social housing operators, this means housing officers, repairs operatives and surveyors spend their days alone in properties and communal blocks, sometimes facing aggression, sometimes in genuine danger, with no one who knows exactly where they are. Meanwhile landlords are under intense pressure to evidence that repairs are done, that contractors are who they say they are, and that high-rise buildings are safe. The Salvus Network gives every lone worker a Tag that raises a located duress alert, controls and records which contractors are on site for repairs and maintenance, and tracks tools and plant across depots — so the people delivering safe homes are themselves kept safe and accountable.

Regulatory alignment

Evidence for the audit trail.

The Regulator of Social Housing's consumer standards — in particular the Safety and Quality Standard — require registered providers to keep homes safe, to manage repairs effectively, and to hold accurate data about their stock and the work done to it. Providers must be able to evidence this, not just assert it. The Building Safety Act 2022 and the associated fire-safety regime place additional duties on higher-risk residential buildings, including managing safety risks in communal areas and keeping a clear record of who accesses them. Awaab's Law tightens timescales for acting on hazards such as damp and mould, which means proving that operatives attended and completed work matters more than ever. Underpinning all of this, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require the risks of lone working and violence to be assessed and controlled. The Salvus Network supplies the located duress cover, the contractor and access records, and the asset trail that let a landlord protect its staff and evidence its safety and quality obligations.
