Inventory Base has won the BEST HMO Technology Supplier Award 2022 at the first ever HMO Awards.

The brainchild of COHO, the HMO property management platform; their aim, when developing the concept for the inaugural awards was to:

“bring people across the HMO property supply chain who are helping to shape the current and future shared living landscape across the UK, together to network, learn, celebrate and grow’.

And they have certainly achieved that with over 400 people attending the impressive event and a huge response to the awards with:

  • 377 nominations, from
  • 287 applications, resulting in 
  • 121 finalists 
  • 18 winners, and
  • 31 highly commended winners

In what proved to be a hotly contested category with 8 competing companies and providers; Inventory Base was announced as the first ever winner of the HMO Technology Supplier Award by Property Angel Helen Choley. 

Judge Gary Barker said ‘Great technology from Inventory Base, fully integrated, makes adding a tenant easy and fast, no need to visit the property and API and the tech is hugely scalable.’

Sián Heming-Metcalfe, Head of Operations Inventory Base | Property Inspect UK said: 

I am rarely unable to offer a comment or two but to win The HMO Awards Best HMO Technology Supplier Award was truly an unexpected honour that left me somewhat at a loss for words!

I’m so proud of all the Inventory Base team who work hard to design, develop and deliver property reporting software that supports and enables HMO managers to drive real-time efficiencies.

In what is a heavily legislated and often challenging environment, Inventory Base is working with some great HMO service providers to simplify their operations, keeping tenants safe and happy and their properties compliant.

And there’s so much more for us to do; it’s an exciting time for the HMO sector and we are really thrilled to be working alongside them.”
