The Problem

Voice satisfaction calls don't scale by hand

A 5-minute satisfaction call per resident across a 500-unit property is 40+ hours a year of leasing time.

Properties that need the calls most are the ones least able to make them.

Text and email surveys miss the conversation

A 1-5 click on an email is not feedback. The texture is in the conversation.

Operators have data without insight. Trends are visible but causes are not.

Follow-up doesn't happen

When a satisfaction call surfaces an issue, the follow-through is manual and often skipped.

Resident gets asked, then ignored. Worse than not asking.

Bilingual coverage is uneven

Many properties have significant Spanish-speaking populations and inconsistent bilingual staff.

Half the population gets a less-personal channel and lower satisfaction signal.

How Frontdesk Works

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

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.
