Front-office employee

A maintenance employee that takes the request and dispatches the fix

It answers the resident the moment they report an issue, troubleshoots the simple stuff, triages the emergencies, and opens the work order and dispatches the vendor - so maintenance gets handled around the clock without the office phone ringing.

The process

How it works

Step 1

Takes the request

Answers the resident over text, chat, or phone the moment they report an issue, asks the right questions, and walks them through safe troubleshooting for the simple stuff.

Step 2

Triages & opens the work order

Classifies the issue and urgency, opens a work order in your property system with the details and photos, and flags a true emergency - a flood, gas, a lockout - to a person immediately.

Step 3

Dispatches & follows up

Assigns the right vendor by your rules, shares the access and scheduling window with the resident, and follows up to confirm the fix and close the work order.

Watch it work

From a text to a dispatched work order

It reads the resident's report, troubleshoots and classifies the urgency, opens a work order in your property system, and dispatches the right vendor with the access details - so the fix is in motion without a coordinator at a desk.

Questions

Frequently asked

It's triage-first. A flood, a gas smell, no heat in winter, a lockout, or anything safety-related is classified as an emergency and escalated to your on-call person immediately with the unit and details - it never leaves an urgent issue sitting in a queue.

Yes. It opens the work order in your property system with the category, priority, and notes, and dispatches the right vendor by the rules you set - then shares the scheduling window with the resident and follows up to confirm completion.

It troubleshoots the simple things with the resident first, captures photos and detail up front, and routes the right trade the first time - so vendors arrive with the context they need, which cuts repeat trips and repair spend.
