Maintenance Triage & Dispatch Engine
Requests arrive by phone, text, portal, and email; the system classifies severity, dispatches the right vendor, and closes the loop with the tenant.

/ The problem
Maintenance intake is the single most staff-intensive workflow in property management, and it scales linearly with doors. Severity is judged inconsistently, after-hours coverage is expensive, and tenants call back because nobody told them what happened.
/ Architecture
5 stages, each one observable and individually replaceable.
- 01Intake
Unified channel adapters for voice, SMS, portal, and email, each normalized into one request schema.
- 02Classify
Severity, trade, and habitability risk scored by a model evaluated against your own historical tickets.
- 03Guardrail
Emergency and life-safety categories bypass automation and page a human immediately.
- 04Dispatch
Vendor selection by trade, coverage area, capacity, and rate card; work order issued with photos attached.
- 05Close
Status pushed back to the tenant automatically; completion synced to the PM system of record.
Stack
What people actually use
- Tenant status thread across SMS and portal
- Dispatcher exception queue — only what needs judgment
- Vendor mobile work order with photo capture
- Portfolio maintenance analytics by property and trade
How we know it works
- Share of tickets resolved without human triage
- Median time to vendor dispatch
- After-hours escalation accuracy
- Tenant callback rate per ticket
Baselines are captured during discovery so the effect of the system is measurable against the process it replaced — not asserted afterward.
