Dispatch by phone, whiteboard, or sticky notes. Double-bookings, missed appointments, and techs driving across town for nothing.

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.'
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to dispatch & scheduling and property maintenance workflows.
A maintenance supervisor assigns work orders by writing unit numbers on a whiteboard each morning. Emergency calls during the day re-shuffle everything, but the whiteboard does not update itself.
Tenants waiting 3+ days for non-emergency repairs file habitability complaints. In rent-controlled markets, maintenance response time documentation is a legal requirement.

Every missed or double-booked appointment costs $150–$400 in lost revenue and customer goodwill.
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the dispatch & scheduling gap. That's what we build.
We study exactly where dispatch & scheduling happens in your property maintenance operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the dispatch & scheduling problem, you don't pay.
