Live-in Guardians, one of the UK’s most prominent Guardianship providers, has selected MRI Software’s Sales and Lettings solution to drive efficiency, improve data management, and future-proof its operations. The collaboration marks MRI’s first venture into the UK property guardianship space, helping Live-in Guardians streamline processes and enhance business intelligence.

Live-in Guardians provides vacant property protection by placing carefully vetted guardians in unused buildings, ensuring security while offering affordable accommodation. With growing demand and increasing operational complexity, the company needed a technology provider that could support with streamlining processes, enhancing data accuracy, and supporting its growth ambitions.

“We needed a system that would give us complete oversight of our operations, improve efficiency, and provide reliable data for decision-making,” said Said Hamed, Marketing Manager at Live-in Guardians.

“With MRI, we’re not just upgrading our software – we’re transforming our business. The automation and intelligence within MRI’s solutions will save us thousands of hours in admin time, provide real-time business insights, and ultimately help us to scale.”

Through the adoption of MRI’s Sales & Lettings management solution, Live-in Guardians is predicted to achieve significant efficiency gains:

  • Save an estimated £55,000 annually through time efficiencies.
  • Recoup up to 370 workdays through process automation, allowing the team to focus on strategic initiatives and growth of the Guardianship.
  • Reduce operating cost by £23,800 by eliminating system lag time.
  • Track compliance without manual intervention.

Beyond immediate efficiency improvements, Live-in Guardians sees the implementation as a key enabler of future expansion. The flexibility of MRI’s software allows for continuous scaling, accommodating fluctuations in property portfolios without disrupting operations.

“Live-in Guardians is a leader in the guardianship space, and we’re proud to support their journey as they continue to grow,” said Dan Foryszewski, Managing Director, MRI Living (Private Residential), MRI Software. “Our platform will provide them with the data, insights and automation needed to streamline operations, reduce risk, and enhance the guardian experience.”

This initiative reinforces MRI Software’s ability to serve niche property sectors, delivering powerful, adaptable solutions that meet the evolving needs of real estate businesses. Live-in Guardians joins a growing community of forward-thinking property.
