ollowing consultation with universities, Kinetic Solutions, the UK’s leading specialist provider of student accommodation, conference and hospitality management software, has introduced a new product, KxInspections, to assist in delivering greater operational efficiency that could potentially help universities to achieve competitive advantage. KxInspections is bedroom inventory control software that completely automates traditionally paper based processes, capturing accurate information in a fraction of the time and streamlining charges and refunds with automated uploading of data.


Many universities in the UK, including Edinburgh and Kent, have already proactively sought to improve efficiency, utilising the successful, established KxStudent software from Kinetic Solutions, which manages the entire student housing process, updating students’ records and rooms. KxInspections synchronises directly into the back office KxStudent system, offering universities the most comprehensive student accommodation software solution available, with tangible results including large resource savings achievable from the post inspection administration process. KxInspections liberates universities to spend even less time on administration and more on improving the student experience, which ultimately enhances the reputation of the university.

have created their seasonal artwork, scan and upload each individual creation.


Once all the artwork is uploaded, teachers can then provide parents with a link to the site and when everyone’s happy with the design and greeting message, the cards can be ordered there and then. The system is safe and secure and parents can order as many cards as they like to make sure all the family members get to see their wonderful Christmas creation.


This is a time and cost effective way of getting children into the Christmas spirit and encouraging them to showcase their creative flair while enjoying creating a Christmas design their parents can be proud of. We’ve taken all the usual stress and strain away and replaced it with fun, happiness and plenty of creativity!
