What We Were Solving

The client managed 340 residential units across four regions. Every tenant interaction was manual: maintenance requests by phone and email logged in spreadsheets, dispatched to contractors via text. Lease renewals managed through a wall calendar. Inspection scheduling required individually emailing tenants. The six-person operations team worked overtime during peak periods and maintenance response averaged 72 hours, driving tenant dissatisfaction and increasing vacancy rates.

Our Strategic Approach

We built an end-to-end automation layer connecting tenant communication, maintenance and lease management. Tenants submit maintenance requests through a portal with auto-categorisation, contractor dispatch and real-time status updates. Lease renewals trigger automated sequences 90 days before expiry including renewal offers, inspection scheduling and document generation. Contractor management automates job assignment, completion tracking and payment processing. The team shifted from reactive firefighting to dashboard-based management.

Deliverables

  • Maintenance request portal with auto-categorisation
  • Automated contractor dispatch with completion tracking
  • Lease renewal automation with 90-day trigger sequences
  • Inspection scheduling with tenant and inspector coordination
  • Tenant communication engine for updates and notices
  • Operations dashboard with regional KPI tracking
  • Automated contractor payment on job completion
