How This Automation Works
Tenant Request Received → Request Auto-Assigned to Specialist
Request Capture and Data Extraction
System receives tenant request from any channel—email, portal, app, or phone system. Automatically extracts key information including tenant name, unit number, contact details, issue description, urgency level, location specifics, and any attached photos or documentation for comprehensive request records.
Intelligent Categorization and Priority Assignment
Advanced classification analyzes request content to determine issue type (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural, etc.) and assigns priority level based on urgency indicators, safety concerns, and service level agreement parameters. Emergency issues are flagged for immediate escalation.
Resource Matching and Assignment
System evaluates available maintenance teams, technicians, and vendors based on expertise, current workload, location proximity, certification requirements, and availability. Automatically assigns the request to the most appropriate resource following predefined routing rules and business logic.
Work Order Creation and Notification
Generates complete work order in facility management system with all request details, tenant information, and location data. Simultaneously sends notifications to assigned technician with comprehensive briefing, access instructions, and tenant contact information for seamless service delivery.
Tenant Acknowledgment and Tracking
Automatically sends confirmation message to tenant with unique ticket number, assigned technician information, expected response timeframe, and estimated completion date. Provides access to status tracking portal where tenants can monitor progress without additional inquiries.
Monitoring and Escalation Management
Continuously tracks request status against service level agreements. If response or resolution deadlines approach, system automatically escalates to supervisors. Maintains complete audit trail of all actions, communications, and status changes for compliance and performance analysis.
How It Works
Transform your tenant communication process with intelligent request routing that eliminates manual sorting and ensures every facility request reaches the right team instantly. This automation analyzes incoming tenant requests through email, portal submissions, or mobile apps, automatically categorizes them by type (maintenance, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, common area issues), determines priority levels based on predefined criteria, and routes each request to the appropriate department or technician. The system maintains complete audit trails, sends automatic acknowledgments to tenants, updates work order systems in real-time, and escalates urgent issues immediately. By eliminating manual triage and reducing response delays, facility managers can ensure tenant satisfaction while optimizing team workload distribution and maintaining compliance with service level agreements.
The Trigger
Activates when a tenant submits a facility request through any channel—email, web portal, mobile app, phone system, or property management platform. The system captures all request details including tenant information, location, issue description, urgency indicators, and any attached photos or documentation.
The Action
The system analyzes request content using intelligent classification rules, determines the issue category and priority level, matches the request with the appropriate maintenance team or vendor based on expertise and availability, creates a work order in the facility management system, sends confirmation to the tenant with ticket number and expected response time, and notifies the assigned technician with full request details and location information.
