Digital logbook

Combining a secure document store, a data dashboard and renovation plan module, a Chimni logbook is an essential companion for modern homeowners.

What is a Chimni digital logbook?

Like a car’s service record, a Chimni logbook brings together all your property information in one secure place. Combining a secure document store, a data dashboard and links to government and other supplier services, a digital logbook is an essential companion for modern homeowners.

Chimni is an online tool that will help your customers run their home(s). It brings together all the online accounts related to their property (e.g. utilities, insurance costs) and uploads documents into a single secure online environment, enabling them to view everything in one dashboard.

How does a Chimni digital logbook work?

Setting up a Chimni logbook is free. With the Chimni Logbook API, you can automate the process of creating a logbook for your customers and integrate it directly into your existing products and services.

When paired with other components of the Retrofit Proposition Toolkit such as tailored energy advice, the Chimni logbook enables your customers to seemlessly import their property and personalised improvement plan data directly into their logbook. Chimni also offers a dedicated renovation plan module to help them track progress against their improvement plan over time.

What are the benefits of a Chimni logbook?

If you include Chimni Logbooks in your products and services, customers will be able to store information and recommendations in a secure digital format.  The Chimni system can help them plan and implement recommendations and keep records on any project work and installations.

A Chimni logbook can connect to your customers’ local authority for sharing Planning Permission and Building Control information on works to the property. The logbook can also connect to other data sources like the Land Registry, the EPC Register and the FENSA and Gas Safety Registers to provide additional context.

If your customers are installing digital or smart systems like solar panels or heat pumps, the Chimni logbook can act as the user manual by hosting the maintenance records. All information is stored in data formats that can be shared with installers and lenders. When your users come to sell their homes, all information held in the Chimni Logbook can be turned into a ‘sellers pack’ to share with estate agents and conveyancers.
