Frontdesk automates the entire work-order lifecycle: intake from voice/SMS/chat/email, classification, technician assignment, status updates, and closure — all written back to Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, AppFolio, Buildium, and ResMan in real time.
AI work order automation for multifamily apartment communities, build-to-rent (BTR) portfolios, single-family rental (SFR) operators, student housing, senior living, and affordable / LIHTC properties. Replaces manual ticket entry, paper work orders, and slow PMS data-entry workflows with an AI maintenance dispatcher that integrates with Yardi Voyager 7S, Yardi Breeze, RentCafe, RealPage OneSite Facilities, Entrata Maintenance, AppFolio Realm-X, Buildium, ResMan, Rent Manager, MRI Software, Property Meld, and ServiceFusion — plus ILS lead sources like Apartments.com, Zillow Rentals, Zumper, Rent.com, ApartmentList, and HotPads when residents originate from prior leasing flows. Beats EliseAI, Funnel Leasing, Zuma, and traditional answering services (PATLive, AnswerConnect) on speed and structured data capture.

The Problem
Phone calls become Post-its which become PMS entries hours or days later. Critical detail is lost in the handoff between resident, office, and technician.
Unit access, pet status, preferred service window, and parts needed are routinely omitted — forcing a callback or wasted truck roll.
Residents call back to ask "is anyone coming?" because no one updates them between intake and completion. EliseAI and Respage chatbots do not close the loop.
How Frontdesk Works

AI Transcript
“Hi! I’d love to tour the 2-bedroom at Maple Heights. Any availability this Saturday?”
Frontdesk AI
“Yes! The 2BR at Maple Heights is $2,450/mo with a Feb 1 move-in. Saturday 11am or 2pm works for tours. Shall I book one?”
Frontdesk owns every state transition: intake, classification, assignment, in-progress, completed, follow-up. Each state is mirrored to the PMS work-order module automatically.
Looking for a 2BR around $2,400, move-in mid-February. Do you allow pets?
We have a 2BR at $2,450/mo available Feb 15. Cats and dogs under 50 lbs welcome. What’s your move-in date?
Captured
Tickets land in your PMS with category, sub-category, urgency, unit, access permission, pet status, preferred service window, photos/videos, and resident contact preferences pre-populated.
More capabilities
Routing rules consider trade, on-call rotation, property, vendor SLA, and after-hours coverage. Emergency calls override routine queues and dispatch live.
Automated SMS lifecycle: ticket received, scheduled, technician en route, on-site, completed. Multilingual (Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Russian).
Cross-property dashboards expose every metric leadership needs: speed-to-acknowledge, time-to-dispatch, time-to-close, repeat-call rate, vendor SLA compliance, satisfaction score, and payroll savings.
