Frontdesk
AI Outbound Voice

AI outbound calling that reactivates leads and books tours at scale

Frontdesk dials every aged ILS lead, no-show, dormant guest card, expiring prospect, and waitlist contact across your portfolio — with natural multilingual voice that qualifies, books tours, and writes back to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan. The outbound program no leasing consultant has time to run.

A purpose-built AI outbound voice platform for multifamily apartment operators, REITs, BTR portfolios, SFR, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC communities. Frontdesk powers outbound calling campaigns against aged leads from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, HotPads, and Realtor.com Rentals — with guest-card writeback to Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite, Knock CRM, Entrata Core, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, and Funnel CRM. Replaces manual call-blasting, BDR contractors, and outbound seats from EliseAI, Zuma, Respage, Funnel Leasing, and LeaseHawk.

The Problem

Aged leads sit dormant by the thousands

A typical 300-unit community accumulates 2,000+ aged leads from Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, and ApartmentList every year. Leasing consultants don’t have time to call them — and the leads die in your Yardi or RealPage CRM.

Wasted ad spend, lower portfolio occupancy

Manual call-blasting is slow and inconsistent

Asking on-site leasing teams to dial old leads in the afternoon produces 10–20 calls per agent per day, mostly voicemails. There’s no cadence discipline, no multilingual coverage, no qualification, and no calendar booking on the spot.

Low contact rate, low tour-booked rate per dial

BDR contractors and outbound vendors are expensive

Outsourced BDR teams cost $2,000–$5,000 per community per month and only operate during business hours in English. They take a message — they don’t book tours into your PMS calendar.

High CPL, poor lead-to-tour conversion

No-shows and tour cancels never get re-engaged

25–35% of booked tours no-show. Without an automated outbound call within minutes, those prospects sign at a competing community before the week is out.

More days vacant, missed NOI

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.

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.
