Is this a resident maintenance app?

It is broader. Residents can reach Frontdesk by phone, text, or web, whichever they prefer, without downloading an app. The AI captures the request, triages it, and routes it the same way every time.

How does it know what is an emergency?

Frontdesk classifies each request by severity using the resident description: flooding, gas, no heat, and security issues escalate to on-call staff immediately, while routine requests are scheduled and dispatched.

Does it create work orders in our PM software?

Yes. Frontdesk logs each request as a work order in AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi, or RealPage with the unit, issue, and access details already filled in.

Can it dispatch vendors directly?

Yes. Frontdesk routes each request to the right vendor or in-house tech based on category and your dispatch rules, and notifies them with the details captured on the call.
