Streamline Property Maintenance with Smart Dispatch
How a structured maintenance workflow — requests, routing, approval limits, and a trusted contractor network — cuts response times and keeps tenants happy.
Maintenance is where tenants judge you most. A structured workflow turns scattered texts and voicemails into a fast, trackable process.
Start with clean intake
Let tenants submit requests with photos and details in one place. Clear intake means fewer back-and-forth messages and a faster diagnosis of what’s actually wrong.
Route the work automatically
- Match the request to the right trade and an available contractor.
- Use approval thresholds so small jobs proceed and big ones get a sign-off.
- Track status from submitted to scheduled to completed.
Keep everyone in the loop
Automatic updates to the tenant and a clear record for the owner or manager reduce anxious “any update?” messages and build trust. The work order also becomes a documented history for the unit.
Close the loop with costs
Tie the completed job to its cost so maintenance flows straight into your books and job-costing reports — no separate spreadsheet required.
Frequently asked questions
What are maintenance approval thresholds?
They’re dollar limits that decide when a job can proceed automatically versus needing a manager or owner to approve it — so routine fixes aren’t delayed while big expenses still get oversight.
Why route requests instead of handling them ad hoc?
Routing gets the right pro on the job faster, creates a paper trail, and prevents requests from slipping through the cracks — which is where most tenant complaints come from.
