Active Portal vs Mygate

Active Portal is a resident self-service web portal and mobile app for managing social housing tenancies. Residents can register without back-office help, use multi-factor authentication, view tenancy finances, make rent or ad-hoc payments, and manage Direct Debits through payment-provider integrations. The portal supports diagnosing property issues and scheduling repair appointments for residents and staff; the product page gives an average appointment time of 99 seconds. Residents can report anti-social behaviour and follow or update open cases, exchange messages with landlords, and use configurable forms. They can also access documents through electronic document management integrations and sign digitally through solutions such as DocuSign. Active Housing says the portal connects in real time with housing management systems, CRMs, document systems, payment providers, and schedulers. A content management system lets organizations configure resident journeys, branding, and business rules, including multi-entity dual-branding. The maker displays ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certifications. Active Portal is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Pricing is on request.
