It depends on your starting point. Dynamics 365 Business Central suits organisations with a Microsoft-first estate, or where finance is the main pain point and you want to extend the platform with low-code tools. Infor suits those with an existing Infor estate, deep housing-specific processes or multi-entity complexity. Kick implements and supports both, so the recommendation starts with your organisation rather than the platform we happen to resell.

The pressure you're under
Tenant demand outstripping capacity
Repairs, rent and enquiry calls arrive faster than your team can handle them, and too many are chasers for something already reported. Tenants wait, satisfaction scores fall, and the same small team absorbs the pressure every day.
Flat funding, rising cost to serve
Rent settlements are capped while the cost of maintaining stock, meeting new standards and running your technology keeps climbing. Every pound spent keeping old infrastructure alive is a pound not spent on homes.
Aging housing management and finance systems
Housing, repairs and finance data sit in separate systems joined by spreadsheets and manual rekeying. Month-end takes too long, reporting relies on a handful of people, and nobody has one view of a tenancy.
Regulatory scrutiny and cyber exposure
Consumer standards, tenant satisfaction measures and stock condition data all need evidence you can stand behind, while you hold sensitive data on thousands of households. The regulator and the board expect you to show how it's protected, not just say it is.

Customer Spotlights
We work with The Sovini Group to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Kick Housing Finance, replacing spreadsheet-driven processes with a centralised finance and enterprise resource planning system. The solution brings greater consistency across its businesses, reduces duplicated administration and gives teams access to a shared, trusted view of their data. By streamlining tasks that previously took around 45 minutes to just two minutes, we’re helping employees spend less time on administration and more time on higher-value work.
We provide ongoing support and consultancy services for Peabody's Infor SunSystems environment. The solution includes SunSystems Foundation, Accounting, Corporate Allocations, Fixed Assets, Purchase Invoices and Sales Invoicing, together with Professional Advantage iPOS, Collect, Bank Reconciliation and Making Tax Digital (MTD). Our services include user support, issue resolution, advice on system usage and business processes, and assistance with upgrades and enhancements as required.
Common Questions
Should our housing association choose Dynamics 365 or Infor for housing finance?
What cyber security evidence do housing associations need to provide?
Boards, regulators and funders increasingly expect you to show how tenant data is protected, not just state that it is. In practice that means recognised accreditations such as Cyber Essentials Plus, clear reporting on threats and incidents, and proactive monitoring of your environment. Kick holds ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus itself, and helps housing providers build the evidence they need for regulators, boards and funders.
How can technology reduce repeat calls and the cost of running services?
Many calls to housing teams are chasers for something already reported, which stretches small teams and hurts satisfaction scores. Joining up repairs, rent and enquiry data, and using a cloud contact centre (CCaaS), means fewer handoffs and fewer repeat contacts. Moving off ageing infrastructure also frees budget that would otherwise go on keeping old systems alive, so more of it can go towards homes.
