Oakfield Estates is a London-based property management company overseeing 2,400 residential units across 45 blocks. Before Atom Care, their team of 8 property managers was drowning in paperwork, struggling with disconnected systems, and facing growing complaints from leaseholders about transparency.

The Challenge

  • Fragmented Systems: Separate tools for accounting, maintenance, document management, and communications
  • Manual Processes: Service charge calculations took 3 weeks each cycle
  • Compliance Risks: Section 20 consultations managed via spreadsheet with missed deadlines
  • Poor Visibility: Leaseholders had no portal access, leading to high inquiry volumes
  • Contractor Chaos: Email-based job management with no tracking or accountability

The Solution

Oakfield implemented Atom Care across their entire portfolio in a phased rollout over 8 weeks. Key modules deployed:

  • Block Management with automated service charge engine
  • Supplier Portal for 120+ contractors
  • Resident Portal for all 2,400 leaseholders
  • Section 20 Consultation workflows
  • Mobile app for site teams
