Property Maintenance
No ReKeying — Every Tech Arrives Knowing the Full History of That Unit
When a tech arrives at a site, the unit's full service history should be in their hand — not in a binder in the machine room or in a retired tech's memory. No ReKeying means every field entry becomes a permanent digital record linked to that specific equipment serial number.

Property maintenance teams handle a high volume of tenant requests, preventive maintenance schedules, and vendor-managed repairs. Paper work orders get lost in the handoff between tenant, office, tech, and vendor — and the tenant complaint is always 'nobody ever came.'

How Equipment Service History Actually Looks in Property Maintenance
The Scenario
A property maintenance tech is dispatched to fix a HVAC unit in a rental unit that 'keeps having the same problem.' He arrives with no record of the previous three service visits, what was replaced, or which parts are still under warranty.
The Real Impact
Repeat visits to the same unit without service history result in duplicate diagnoses and re-purchases of parts already replaced under warranty — costing $200–$600 per incident.
Does This Sound Like Your Property Maintenance Operation?
- !Techs arrive with no knowledge of what was done to the unit last time
- !Service history is split across paper binders, emails, and one person's memory
- !Repeated diagnostics on the same unit because nobody documented the root cause
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Arriving without unit history adds 45–90 minutes of diagnostic re-work per service call. At $100/hour and 3 such calls per tech per week, that is $15K–$23K/year in wasted labor per technician.
