Frontdesk
Renewals & Retention

Save at-risk residents before they give notice

Frontdesk continuously scores every resident for churn risk using maintenance history, sentiment signals, payment patterns, and competitive-shopping cues — then runs targeted intervention outreach across voice, SMS, and email. Risk scores and saves flow back to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan.

A purpose-built AI churn-risk outreach platform for multifamily operators, REITs, BTR portfolios, student housing, senior living, and SFR communities. Replaces gut-feel retention, reactive notice-to-vacate handling, RealPage AIRM-only renewal flags, and Yardi static reports with continuous AI churn-risk scoring and intervention outreach across ILS-sourced residents, RentCafe portals, RealPage OneSite, ActiveBuilding, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, and ResMan. Unlike EliseAI, Colleen AI, or Modern Message renewal flows, Frontdesk surfaces risk 90-180 days before notice-to-vacate using maintenance history, NPS, sentiment, payment patterns, and competitive-shopping language detection.

The Problem

Residents decide to leave 60-90 days before they tell you

By the time NTV hits Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan, the resident has already booked tours at competitors and emotionally moved on.

Unrecoverable churn

Risk signals live in 5 different systems

Maintenance tickets in one PMS module, payment patterns in another, NPS in Kingsley or SatisFacts, complaints in Knock or RentCafe — and nobody connects the dots.

Risk invisible until too late

On-site teams cannot run targeted save campaigns at scale

Even when risk is known, property managers running 200+ units cannot personally call every at-risk resident with the right offer.

Lost saves, missed NOI

How Frontdesk Works

Built for multifamily operators on Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, ResMan — and every other major PMS.

Intervention playbooks per risk level

High, medium, and low-risk residents get tailored intervention: maintenance acceleration, concession offers, manager callbacks, or proactive renewal incentives.

  • High risk: property manager callback + manager-approved concession
  • Medium risk: AI voice outreach + soft renewal incentive
  • Low risk: SMS check-in + post-survey
  • Issue-specific playbooks (maintenance, billing, noise)
  • Per-property and per-portfolio overrides

The journey

Every step syncs to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, or ResMan in real time.

01

Step 1

AI captures every prospect and resident interaction

Inbound voice calls, outbound AI voice, SMS, WhatsApp, web chat, email, ILS lead forms (Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, Realtor.com Rentals), and walk-in inquiries are answered instantly with portfolio-aware context — across multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR), single-family rental (SFR), student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties.

02

Step 2

Records sync to your PMS, CRM, and calendar

Guest cards, work orders, renewals, payment notes, hardship flags, and tour bookings flow into Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, DoorLoop, TenantCloud, and Funnel CRM in real time. Calendar sync with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and PMS-native calendars. No double-entry.

03

Step 3

Automation runs follow-up across voice, SMS, and email

No-show recovery within 5 minutes, dormant-lead reactivation, 90/60/30/15-day renewal cadences, day-of-due rent reminders, tiered delinquency outreach, payment-plan negotiation, autopay enrollment, maintenance status updates, and Google review requests fire automatically — with the right cadence and channel per resident persona.

04

Step 4

Portfolio analytics surface what matters

Cross-property dashboards track speed-to-lead, tour-booked rate, tour-to-lease conversion, no-show rate, recovery rate, average maintenance SLA, emergency response time, renewal rate, delinquency reduction, payroll savings, and NOI impact — across every community. AI call scoring and QA flags replace mystery shopping.
