Challenge
We built Sashsa, a modern platform that connects building owners, universities, and assessors—transforming accreditation into a transparent, efficient digital workflow.
The manual accreditation process was creating significant bottlenecks:
- Fragmented communication between multiple stakeholders
- Paper-based documentation causing delays and compliance issues
- Lack of transparency in the approval process
- Inefficient assessor allocation and scheduling
- Limited tracking capabilities for universities and building owners
Solution
We created a comprehensive digital platform with role-specific functionality:
