Ticket SLA Tracking

AI ticket SLA tracking for every maintenance work order and resident request

Frontdesk tracks SLA status on every maintenance ticket, resident service request, and prospect callback across your multifamily portfolio — flagging at-risk tickets before they breach, escalating to the right person, and posting status back into work orders in Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan.

A live AI ticket SLA tracking layer for multifamily operators, REITs, third-party property management companies, lease-up developers, BTR portfolios, SFR operators, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC communities. Replaces manual spreadsheet SLA tracking, brittle PMS task views, and EliseAI maintenance handoff gaps with portfolio-wide SLA visibility. Coexists with Property Meld, ServiceFusion, and AppFolio HOA.

The Problem

SLA tracking lives in spreadsheets, not the work order

Most operators track SLAs in side spreadsheets that nobody updates. By the time a property manager realizes a ticket is at risk, it has already breached.

Resident churn, reputational damage, lost NOI

Emergency tickets get lost between voice, SMS, and PMS

A resident calls about no heat at 11pm — the maintenance handoff goes to voicemail or a queue nobody reads until 9am. The SLA clock starts at the call, not at the assignment.

Emergency response SLA breached, resident on Yelp

Property Meld and ServiceFusion alerts are not portfolio-aware

Work-order systems alert per ticket, not per portfolio. Regional VPs cannot see which communities are running hot on SLA risk.

Coaching investment misallocated, breaches go undetected

EliseAI maintenance handoffs lose the SLA context

When a leasing bot hands off a maintenance request, the SLA clock often starts over or gets lost. Frontdesk preserves the original intake time so the clock is honest.

Inaccurate SLA reporting, missed escalations

Live SLA tracking on every ticket

Every maintenance ticket, resident request, and prospect callback gets a live SLA clock from the moment of intake — not from the moment of assignment.

  • Intake-based SLA clock (not assignment-based)
  • Per-ticket SLA visibility for property managers
  • Per-community SLA rollups for regional VPs
  • Portfolio SLA dashboards for asset managers
  • Per-priority SLAs (emergency, urgent, routine, cosmetic)
Qualification

We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?

At-risk and breach alerts

Frontdesk flags tickets approaching SLA breach (e.g., 75% of clock elapsed) so property managers can act before the breach happens — and escalates breaches automatically.

  • At-risk alerts at 50%, 75%, and 90% of SLA clock
  • Automatic escalation on breach
  • On-call rotation awareness for emergencies
  • Regional VP escalation on community-level breach trends
  • Slack and Microsoft Teams routing

  • Urgent: HVAC partial failure, appliance major, plumbing leak
  • Routine: appliance minor, drywall, cosmetic repair
  • Cosmetic: paint, blinds, scuff repair

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

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.
